- "Perched on top of Skyscraper in Nagoya, Japan, you will explore refined works of Japanese architecture inside a dangerous mansion. Be prepared for vertiginous rappels in the haze of the morning sun, where modernity and tradition meet."
— Ubisoft Description[1]
Skyscraper is a map featured in Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege that was introduced in the Operation Red Crow expansion. The map was reworked in the Operation Neon Dawn expansion.
Overview[]
Skyscraper is a two-story map set at a Yakuza headquarters atop a skyscraper in Nagoya, Japan. The map depicts a mansion designed in modern and classical Japanese styles, with decorative courtyards and balconies on the exterior. Skyscraper is a compact, primarily close-quartered level that, unlike previous Siege maps, is divided into two distinct buildings—a house and a restaurant—connected by narrow hallways.
Many of Skyscraper's objective sites have direct access to exterior windows and doors. The outer balconies are all long, thin sections with no protection, allowing defenders to simply flank and execute runouts to catch you off guard. Given the close closeness of the two locations and the two rooms that separate them, control over these transition areas is crucial for securing points. Every window in this map leads to a balcony. Like other tight area maps, Skyscraper's crowded layout encourages a lot of movement. Many significant exterior walls surround or are part of the objective sites of this map. This makes it crucial for wall-defending utilities when defending as well as especially helpful for hard-breachers during attacks.
Rework[]
Features[]
- 3 Attacker spawning locations
- Helipad
- Tower
- Ventilation Units
The Main changes with the rework of the map were the removal of the balconies across the West and North sides of the second floor. This change was made to reduce the amount of runout and spawnpeeks that occur towards Helipad. The other Main change was the inclusion of Dragon into the maps interior, it came with the addition of 2F Shrine and changes to 2F Terrace.
Other changes included the removal of many windows into rooms such as 2F Office, 1F Bedroom and 1F Bathroom. 1F Bathroom and 1F Bedroom were both increased in size to make the site less claustrophobic and 1F Delivery had some changes to accommodate the House site.
