4. Conquer It! The “3-Layer Structure” Field
The true value of AK Field lies in its “3-Layer Structure” which utilizes elevation differences. It requires a different 3D strategy compared to flat fields!
🗺️ Infinite Strategies! 3 Areas
Upper Level: Vantage point area favoring snipers.
Middle Level: Main battlefield for intense firefights.
Lower Level: Forest/Bamboo area for stealth ops.
🔫 Intense Battles! “Middle Level Area”
The main area that also serves as a start point. There are many barricades, creating tension as you could be targeted from anywhere!
🦅 Snipe from Above! “Upper Level Area”
High ground overlooking the entire field. If you can secure the tower here, it becomes a key stronghold to control the battle!
🌿 Ambush! “Lower Level (Forest) Area”
A bush area thick with bamboo. It can be used as a flanking route to get behind the enemy without being noticed, but watch your step!
Use the dense bush to surprise the enemy!
The entrance is steep, so be careful not to fall!
