Overview
Backstab is one of the new Season 1 maps, added November 6. It’s a small town buried in snow and wrecked by fighting, with abandoned tanks left in the streets and one empty house whose shelves are stacked with drone ordnance.
The streets between the houses give long sightlines, while the open buildings pull fights in close. Holes blown through walls give you side routes around the main streets. The upper floors of the Sniper House, Grandpa’s House and the Destroyed Building, and the roof of the Stronghold House, are the power positions. We haven’t confirmed where each of those buildings is, so they aren’t labeled on the schematic.
Because it mixes ranges, Backstab rewards a flexible loadout: an assault rifle that can hold a street, plus a quick secondary for clearing houses.
Hardpoint
The rotation listed for MW4 is Center Yard, Barn, Clinic, Sniper House, then Shack. Only Center Yard is marked, at the yard in the middle of the map. Expect the high floors and roofs around each hill to matter, since height decides a lot on this map.
