Strategy

Main article: Community Venice strategy

Venice is a very choke-heavy map with multiple flank routes. The Payload cart runs through the main chokes of the map, which can be an annoyance at best for the offense. However, an Uber push or good coordination among teammates can easily destroy any sentry nests or other blockade obstructing the cart.

As for the flank routes, these should be monitored regularly by the defense as BLU team (especially Spies and Pyros) can use them to slip behind the defense and wreak havoc. Venice also does not have very many sightlines, so Snipers aren’t as much of a problem as they usually would be on other Payload maps, such as Cashworks or Upward.

There are also multiple bridges with water beneath them, which can be used as a retreat to heal up (these are good spots to put Dispensers, although it is recommended that you alert your team of its position since it is out of the way and somewhat difficult to spot) or to escape from a Pyro, Demo, Soldier or Heavy.

Please refer to the main article for more specific strategies.
