Fracture specializes in quick and unexpected rotations and precise gunplay due to the abundance of entry points within each bomb site. The most popular team compositions on Fracture primarily include Jett or Raze as the Duelist. Breach is a common choice for an Initiator, with Skye also being in demand.

Additionally, teams can choose from Astra, Brimstone, Viper, Cypher, Killjoy and Sage to furnish their lineups on Fracture.

Players also have the option of using the Fault Line in coordination with Flashpoint while entering the site from A-Main, as shown in the image.

Astra or Viper can support the team by using their utilities to cover pivotal vantage points on A-site such as Drop, Link and Rope. This can help the team access the site, forcing the enemies to fall behind and regroup.
