Blackwell Docks Extraction Walkthrough
A quiet route through the docks map that reaches extraction with time to spare.

Map shape
Blackwell Docks is built around a central warehouse with two patrol loops on either side. Most new players cut straight through the warehouse and walk into both loops at once — go around instead.
The quiet route
From the south spawn, hug the containers along the eastern fence line. This keeps you outside both patrol loops' sightlines for the first ninety seconds.
The objective terminal sits inside the warehouse's north office. Enter through the loading dock roller door rather than the front entrance — the roller door has no camera covering it.
After the terminal, head directly to the crane extraction point rather than looping back south; it is closer and only crosses one patrol loop's edge.
- The crane extraction point has a short elevator ride — call it before you finish the objective so it's waiting when you arrive.
