Lotus is a South Korean fishing village after a beach landing. Its market, hostel, boathouse, gardens and apartment blocks are all scarred by the fight. It's one of the 12 core 6v6 maps Modern Warfare 4 launched with. Lotus has six Hardpoint hills and two Search and Destroy bomb sites, A and B.

Hardpoint on Lotus
Lotus has six hills. They go P1, P2, P3, P4, P5, P6 in a fixed order, then back to P1.
- P1: the middle of the map
- P2: the west side
- P3: the east side, by the boathouse, next to A
- P4: the south side
- P5: the north side, west of the water
- P6: the south-east, east of B
P2 to P3 is a long one, from the west side across to the boathouse. P3 to P4 crosses back to the south side. P5 to P6 is long too, from the north side down to the south-east. P1 to P2 is the shortest. For when to leave a hill and how to set up the next one, see the MW4 Hardpoint tips.

Quick tips for Lotus
- Climb the pipe outside the boathouse to get onto its lower roof and second floor.
- The restaurant, hostel, fish market and boathouse are tight rooms. A shotgun clears them.
- You can drop into the water, so carry a pistol.
How RankKD helps on Lotus
RankKD records your MW4 matches on its own, so there's nothing to press. After each match, it reviews the footage and puts every kill and death on the timeline. On Lotus, that means:
- Your deaths on the map, so the spots that keep getting you killed stand out.
- Hill time and rotations in Hardpoint, and first deaths in Search.
- A coach's note after every match. Each mistake in it links to the exact moment in the video.
RankKD analyzes finished match recordings. No overlays, no assists, no live tactical advice, no mods (read the full disclosure). It runs on Windows PC. Download RankKD.
