As always on Payload, the attack starts by preparing the [[ÜberCharge]] in spawn and leaving the Medic there for a short period of time while the rest of the team attempt to create an advantage by suiciding.

After capturing the first point, the attackers should prepare for a push on the second point, while the flank classes should attempt to get the cart as close to the tunnel exit as possible. The attacking team usually holds somewhere between the cliff entrance and the side tunnel, but in doing that they need to be wary of the enemy Sniper, call his positions out accordingly and try to spam him out. | After capturing the first point, the attackers should prepare for a push on the second point, while the flank classes should attempt to get the cart as close to the tunnel exit as possible.

After the enemy team takes control of the first point, the combo should immediately take position on platform and holding there. Holding near rocks is too dangerous due to being so wide open to snipers and jumping classes. Generally the heavy sits on platform while the Demoman takes position closer to the tracks so he can spam the window, behind the rocks or into tunnel. | After the enemy team takes control of the first point, the combo should immediately take position on platform and holding there.
