Bakhsh Pro Tips

Tip #1: Listen for Lever Pulls

You can hear lever pulls from anywhere on the map. Use this to:

  • Track enemy extraction plans
  • Intercept teams at lever stations
  • Time your own lever pulls

Sound cue: Distinctive mechanical grinding noise

Tip #2: Control the Control Tower

The team that holds the Control Tower controls the match:

  • Best sightlines on the map
  • Access to keycard loot
  • Central position for rotations
  • Rooftop lever station

Priority target for squads.

Tip #3: Use Smoke at Lever Stations

Smoke grenades are essential for Bakhsh extractions:

  • Cover lever pull animation (3-5 seconds)
  • Obscure vehicle arrival area
  • Block enemy sightlines during defense

Carry 2-3 smoke grenades per match.

Tip #4: Don’t Pull Too Early

Timing is everything:

  • 0-8 minutes: Loot phase, avoid levers
  • 8-15 minutes: Start positioning near lever
  • 15-18 minutes: Pull lever (sweet spot)
  • 18-20 minutes: Too late (may not extract in time)

Ideal pull time: 14-16 minutes

Tip #5: Coordinate with Your Squad

Bakhsh rewards team coordination:

  • One player pulls lever
  • Two players defend angles
  • One player watches rear/flanks

Assign roles before pulling.
