==Universe and lore==
==Description==
Daybreak takes place in a series of [[ONI]] bases in the highlands of [[Saviron]] on [[Oban]]. A UNSC {{Class|Strident|heavy frigate}} can be seen in the skybox, similar to how the {{UNSCShip|Aegis Fate}} was seen above [[Sandtrap]] in ''[[Halo 3]]''. The map is named after the in-universe [[Operation: DAYBREAK]], a project based around these research stations. The [[UNSC Navy]] additionally uses this site as a staging ground for classified military campaigns in nearby star systems.{{Ref/Reuse|VIS}}
Daybreak takes place in a series of [[ONI]] bases in the highlands of [[Saviron]] on [[Oban]]. It is an asymetrical map, with two bases and a rock path in the middle. Side routes lead to a cave system on one side and a cliff on the other, and worm their way under and through the rock in the middle of the map. A Charon-class frigate can be seen in the skybox, similar to the Ageis Fate on "Sandtrap" in Halo 3.
 
==Overview==
===Layout===
Daybreak is a mid-sized asymmetric map design for symmetric gameplay; while both sides of the map have a generally similar layout, there are still major differences that prevent it from being a "true" symmetric map. The main area of the map is '''U'''-shaped, allowing [[Warthog]] and other vehicle play. Each side of this "U" has a [[base]] in, each with a different internal layout. The two ends of the "U" are joined by a small cave that allows for access, as well as a way up onto the cliff that divides the map in two. Red base has a [[man cannon]] capable of additionally transporting players onto this cliff, while blue has a large bridge that allows players to walk up onto the cliff manually. The middle of them map at the bottom of the "U" layout sees the spawn of a [[Banshee]].

===Strategies===
*At the back of Blue Base there is a tree on a hill. It is possible to jump into this tree and hide, making it a good place for sniping.<ref name="MCCbook">''[[Halo: The Master Chief Collection Multiplayer Map Book]]'' - Daybreak, p.156-157</ref>
*The Banshee on Daybreak is a key advantage for whichever team controls it - the large rock arches on the map provide ample cover for retreating from enemy fire.{{Ref/Reuse|MCCbook}}
*It is possible to jump into the man cannon at red base from below, thanks to a small rock in front of the base. [[Crouch jumping]] here will allow you to land in the man cannon and be transported to the middle.{{Ref/Reuse|MCCbook}}
*The bases are good structures for players to bunker down in - especially in team games - and let the enemy come to you.{{Ref/Reuse|MCCbook}}
*The rockets spawning in the cave in the middle are a key advantage for either team.{{Ref/Reuse|MCCbook}}
*In CTF, the cave adjoining both bases makes for the quickest route from base to base.{{Ref/Reuse|MCCbook}}
