Oregon is set in a survivalist substance in the Pacific Northwest, thus its name. Its main structure has 3 levels, and there’s likewise a little office tower with which most hardcore Siege players are back-of-the- hand familiar. In the upgrade, an broadened freezer area will be added to the basement, providing Attackers a new wall to break through and a new path to the goal.
The Tower area will no longer home the goal, since that had actually broken down to “an easy three-step win for the Attackers,” Jolicoeur stated. “Pop in some smoke, send Montagne, send the defuser right after him, back up, and profit. It’s not that easy, but it’s not that interesting either.” The goal has actually now transferred to the conference room or the cooking area. A new corridor links those 2 locations, making it a shared goal for both sides. The bigger tower likewise has a new path that bypasses the conference room on the method into the structure.
