'''Phoenix''' is a [[Steam Workshop|community-created]], single-stage [[Payload]] map added in the [[Summer 2023 Update]]. Drenched in brilliant sunlight that highlights reddish canyon landscapes, it is set in the [[Badlands (region)|Badlands]] of the southwestern United States at a national park and reservation. BLU team has unloaded their Payload from a disguised van and plan on pushing it to RED team's nearly completed hydroelectric dam to blow it up; RED must stop them.
