Like every Siege Map, Ice Mines also has certain callouts.

The only Game Mode that is currently playable in this map is Siege.
Lore
Trials of the Realm Bio:
"The Ice Mines were pledged to the great champion Aico, following the Second Goblin Scourge. Some of the rarest and most potent crystals in the Realm have been found under its glaciers."[1]
Other Information:
This map is part of a larger area known as 'Aico Tundra', alongside Glacier Keep and the Ruby Throne, as revealed in Trials of the Realm.
Hazard(s)
Cliff Ledges
These can be found only on the flank routes near the Capture Point, but they regardless make champions with knockback abilities ideal for easy eliminations, as well as punishing Champions that lack flight/teleportation abilities who are therefore susceptible to being launched off the map without having any sort of means for recovery...
Special Feature(s)
Side Gates
Once the point is captured by either team, these gates will lower during the "Payload Push" phase. After the round ends, the gates close. This limits how much a defending team can zone, and allows attackers get back to the payload faster.

- Similarly, Ice Mines could also be seen from the old version of Frozen Guard as well.
- During Open Beta 64, many maps had various props added to their spawn rooms to build up hype for the introduction of lore. For Ice Mines, this included Resistance banners, as well as various supplies. This can be seen in-game here.
