'''Doomsday''' is a [[Special Delivery (Game Mode)|Special Delivery]] map in which both teams attempt to deliver a package of [[Australium]] to [[Non-player characters#Poopy Joe|Poopy Joe]] to use as fuel so he can rocket into space. Both teams compete to deliver the Australium to the launch pad and stay there until they can insert the Australium into the rocket's tip. Once a team has stood on the platform long enough, while in control of the Australium, the Rocket will launch.

Both teams compete to deliver the Australium to the launch pad and stay there until they can insert the Australium into the rocket's tip.

The map features a suitcase nuke which is the primary objective of the map. It will be locked for approximately 45 seconds before becoming available for capture by both teams. Once the Australium has been acquired,the player carrying the precious metal must battle their way towards the cargo lift at the base of the rocket. Should the player holding the Australium be killed, a member of their team must reclaim it, as the enemy team cannot. If no one picks it up within 30 seconds, then the Australium will be returned to its starting position. The team holding the Australium must then survive long enough for the lift to reach the top of the rocket and for the top of the rocket to open, revealing a cargo container. The player holding the Australium must approach it to install it onto the rocket, and upon successful delivery, the team to whom the player belongs wins the current round.

== Locations ==
 +
* '''Cliff''': On the far end of the map, next to the Launch Pad is a large cliff face with an upper wooden platform that can be traversed through two small corridors on either side of the Cliff.
 +
* '''Launch Pad''': This area contains ramps on either side and is where the Australium must be taken and held for a team's victory.
 +
* '''Tower''': In the centre of the map is a tall grey tower containing two small Health kits.
 +
* '''Exhaust Ravine''': At the center of the map in front of the rocket is a ravine used to contain the rocket's exhaust. At the end of the ravine in front of a death pit is a max Health kit. At the end of each round, the rocket's exhaust pushes any players near the vent or in the ravine towards the death pit.
 +
* '''Wooden Bridge''': Above the Exhaust Ravine is a bridge that leads to the Australium. At the tower near the rocket are two small Health kits, and at the end is a medium Health kit. In the center of the bridge is a max ammo kit.
 +
* '''Landing''': Just above the sewer entrances for both teams is a small flat area of ground that provides a great view of the map and leads back through a corridor to the Australium Platform.
 +
* '''Sewer Tunnels''': On both sides of the battlefield are two sewers that lead to the Australium. Inside each tunnel is a medium Health kit and a medium ammo kit.
 +
* '''Australium Platform''': The Australium spawns on a small plank over a creek. On both sides of the platform are two battlements with a small Health kit inside each one, and max ammo kits underneath.

“
Doomsday pits BLU against RED, with only one team getting the honor of transporting a suitcase nuke full of recalled Mann Co. Australium to American monkeynaut Poopy Joe’s rocket, so he can blast off and hunt down Soviet space chimp Vladimir Bananas. It's the same spirit of competitive enterprise that stalled the moon landing by three years when Buzz Aldrin suplexed Neil Armstrong into a pile of folding chairs at Astromania '69! Both teams will attempt to get the necessary fuel up a preposterously slow-moving elevator and into Poopy Joe’s Australium-powered rocket to the stars.
— Doomsday publicity blurb
 ”

Doomsday is a Special Delivery map in which both teams attempt to deliver a package of Australium to Poopy Joe to use as fuel so he can fly a rocket into space. Both teams compete to deliver the Australium to the launch pad and stay there until they can insert the Australium into the rocket's tip. Once inserted, the rocket launches upwards, encounters a staggering failure in the engines after a short time in the air, and crash lands upon the enemy's base, destroying a laser relay (facing the rocket from the platform, the BLU base is to the right, and the RED base is to the left).

Locations

  • Cliff: On the far end of the map, next to the Launch Pad is a large cliff face with an upper wooden platform that can be traversed through two small corridors on either side of the Cliff.
  • Launch Pad: This area contains ramps on either side and is where the Australium must be taken and held for a team's victory.
  • Tower: In the centre of the map is a tall grey tower containing two small Health kits.
  • Exhaust Ravine: At the center of the map in front of the rocket is a ravine used to contain the rocket's exhaust. At the end of the ravine in front of a death pit is a max Health kit. At the end of each round, the rocket's exhaust pushes any players near the vent or in the ravine towards the death pit.
  • Wooden Bridge: Above the Exhaust Ravine is a bridge that leads to the Australium. At the tower near the rocket are two small Health kits, and at the end is a medium Health kit. In the center of the bridge is a max ammo kit.
  • Landing: Just above the sewer entrances for both teams is a small flat area of ground that provides a great view of the map and leads back through a corridor to the Australium Platform.
  • Sewer Tunnels: On both sides of the battlefield are two sewers that lead to the Australium. Inside each tunnel is a medium Health kit and a medium ammo kit.
  • Australium Platform: The Australium spawns on a small plank over a creek. On both sides of the platform are two battlements with a small Health kit inside each one, and max ammo kits underneath.

  • The three different paths from the spawn.

  • The platform where the Australium spawns.

  • The sewer paths leading to the Australium.

  • The bridge above the rocket's exhaust ravine.

  • Overview of the launch site with the cliff battlements behind it.
