Bank: Staff Room / Open Area (1F)

Bank · 1F · Staff Room

Staff Room / Open Area is a first floor bomb site on Bank, planting in Staff Room. Attackers usually hard breach the Kitchen (Staff Room) wall to Square from Square. Vertical play comes through Stock hatch (over Open Space (Open Area)) and Janitor hatch (over Admin). Strong picks here include Hibana, Mira, Zero and Echo.

• Hard breach: Square wall into Staff Room
• Take 2F and open the floor
• Printer window pinch from Back Alley

Breach walls

• Kitchen (Staff Room) wall to Square, from Square.
• Kitchen walls to Printer / Electrical, from Printer, Electrical.

• 2F Stock is over Open Area (Open Space): its floor is destructible and has a hatch in Open Space's south-west corner. 2F Janitor is over Admin (destructible floor + hatch into Admin, the room between the two bomb rooms). The wiki doesn't say Staff Room (Kitchen)'s ceiling is soft; the 2F rooms over the east side are Top Square/Terrace (unverified for Kitchen).

Windows and outside play

• Printer window.
