    So, as the title says here are a some spots on a few maps which are either not well known of, useful or just plain ridiculous. 2 of them are for engineer and require wrangler jumping, here is a video on how to do that if you don't know: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=95PZ2SxTSao So with that in mind, here it goes:

    Arena_Ravine:

    To get up here requires you to do a wrangler jump, making sure you have enough metal to build a dispenser once you get up there. This spot is quite effective against Saxton, especially if he is not the best jumper. Like almost any spot however; one rage is all it takes to shut you down.

    VSH CREVICE B5:

    This is one of the ridiculous spots, it's effective to a degree but its more just for the fun. This one pitched on top of a tree is hard to achieve without being found killed by Saxton before you make it safely up there. But once you are up there you're quite safe for the time being. This one requires you to perform 2 level 3 sentry rocket wrangler jumps, once to get to the high ground, and a second time to get atop the tree.

    Arena Badlands:

    This one is easy but not for engineer since you cannot build up there. It can be a good place to stand as a soldier to shoot down at saxton, or to escape to in order to buy some time, as not many people know about this spot. This pipre is on the red side only, and if you're on the control point, look to the red side to find this pipe.

    That's all for now folks, hope this was at least mildly interesting :p

    This is only useful when the current hale doesn't know how to superjump, or teleport.

    The level 3 sentry provides a lot of knock back so it can make it hard for Saxton to get to you if you're high up. But yes anyone who's half decent at jumping will get to you, but not before you've done some damage first

    The hale destroys a level 3 sentry in 1 hit, and the knockback isn't really that big either. Unless he is in the air, but even then, he only need to rage to disable the sentry.

    So sentries are useless in FoG's VSH in my opionion.

    The whole point of getting to these high up spots is that Saxton has to be jump and be in the air to get to them, that's why they are effective. And as for rage, yes rage will shut this down, but rage shuts everything down. Also it juts a lil side note it takes Saxton 2 hits to kill a level 3
