Map Overview

Snowycoast is a Snow-themed community-made Payload map that was originally part of the Mercs vs. Aliens contest that took place before the Invasion Update. The map features are variety of moving passageways and flank routes as well as many alien-related things around the map seeing as it was intended for the Invasion Update. It is mostly a wide-open map with only a few buildings and mineshafts breaking up the path along the way. The final capture point is an alien saucer you dump the Payload cart on and explode to win the map.

Snowycoast was made an official map in the Tough Break Update.

Locations

Overview of the map

Checkpoint A

• BLU Spawn: BLU's first spawn has three exits. A side exit on the right, and a front and side exit facing the cart.
• Side Structure: A small path to the right next to the first checkpoint.
• Underground Path: A path to the Checkpoint B battlements accessible from an opening on the right of the checkpoint. The path does not open until Checkpoint A has been captured by BLU.
• Incline: The incline cart path on the left.

Checkpoint B

• RED Spawn: RED's first spawn has two exits. One on the right that leads closer to the battlements, and one in front of the second checkpoint.
• Quonset hut: A small structure next to the checkpoint.
• BLU Spawn: To the right of the checkpoint is a secondary BLU spawn that will open once the checkpoint has been captured.

Checkpoint C

• Cart Gate: After capturing the second checkpoint, BLU must wait a few seconds for the gate in front of the checkpoint to open. The doorways near the gate will automatically open.
• Mines: The mines have two tunnels. Straight ahead is the main cart path, and to the left is a small tunnel for flanking.
• BLU Spawn: BLU's third and final spawn overlooking the entrance to the mines. Will open once the third checkpoint is captured.

Final Checkpoint

• RED Spawn: The final RED spawn has three exits. A front exit leads to the excavation site. Another front exit leads to the gate. A side exit leads to Checkpoint C.
• Shutter Gate: The path to the UFO is cut off by a central gate station. Once the cart reaches the designated spot, the large gate will begin to open slowly. There are two pathways on the left and right of the gate.
• Excavation Site: The area in front of the UFO. BLU will need to push the cart up the small ramp to win, but if one player is not pushing, the cart will immediately fall back down.
