Overview


The hostage rescue zone is the area in a hostage rescue map where Counter-Terrorists lead the hostages to safety. Most zones are typically located in the CT spawn Zone, and will vary in size. The number of hostage rescue zones depend on the map but to keep the Terrorists from camping on one spot, a map will typically have two or more rescue zones (one exception is Italy). Most hostage rescue maps have at least one rescue zone near or in the CT spawn point.
