Hardpoint has made its return to Call of Duty League in Black Ops Cold War for the 2021 season. As a crucial game mode typically played in games one and four of a five-game series, understanding the Hardpoint rotations is essential for competitive success.

The five official CDL Hardpoint maps are:

• Apocalypse
• Checkmate
• Garrison
• Moscow
• Raid

Successful Hardpoint gameplay requires two key elements:

1. Strong gunplay and survival skills
2. Knowledge of objective rotations and spawn control

Each map features unique Hardpoint locations that rotate in a specific order. Teams that master these rotations and secure early positioning gain a significant advantage.
