==Layout==
Players used to be able to camp on top of a rocky wall via sprinting and jumping. It appears that Bungie added a soft kill zone there to prevent players from gaining an unfair advantage.
Asylum has two bases, a red one and a blue one. The map is not symmetrical, so the bases have a different design. In the middle is a neutral area with two curved ramps and platforms leading to two other buildings, one near the red base and one near the blue. Near the edge of the Quarry is another ramp leading up to the middle area. Scattered around the space by the bases are rocks that serve as barriers to hide behind if you're under fire.
 
==Strategies==
There are plenty of hiding spots on Asylum, though getting to some of them requires a [[jetpack]]. Before a map update, the roofs of the buildings where the [[Sniper Rifles]] spawned both served as good sniping spots. There is also a spot on top of red base and on top of the cliff on the side of the map.
 
In [[Infection]], humans tended to camp the roofs of the buildings where [[Sniper Rifles]] would spawn in other gametypes. They could access these roofs by climbing upon pieces of cover placed on the bridges to these buildings. After [[Bungie]] patched these roofs with Soft Kill Areas, players started camping the rockslide at the corner of red base. A player can, from that position, run through the map's hardcoded Soft Kill Area and hide on top of red base; they can also run toward blue base and drop down about three feet onto a walkable part of a more vertical rockslide in the middle of the map.
