Modern Warfare 3 Rio map spawn points and key areas

There are five key areas around the Modern Warfare 3 Rio map, including the Garage, Mall, Main Street, and the two spawn points that are located in the Tram Station and Cafe.

The Tram Station (North) is an open ground where most of the head-to-head battles are going to take place. Players need to be careful when treading this area of the map as it lacks cover. An important point of interest in this spawn point is the gift shop, which features a tight interior and alleyway.

Meanwhile, the Cafe (South) provides decent cover, with multiple walls and vehicles to use for concealment. It also has alleyways on the side, which connect to the Market and Garage, making the point a solid entryway to important areas on the map.

Aside from the spawn points, there are three key areas on the map that players should learn to navigate. The Mall is the main firefight location and features several access points that players can use to quickly go in or out of gunfights. It's the middle section that holds most of the objectives.

The Garage and Market are also strong points on the map, characterized by their defined platforms that can be used for gaining tactical advantages. Another key area is Main Street, which offers a flat surface and a covered walkway with objects and areas that you can climb.

The new map is set to be released on January 17, 2024, during the Season 1 Reloaded update.
