'''Cashworks''' is a single-stage mountainous Alpine-styled [[Payload]] map, made by Eerieone. [[BLU]]'s goal is to push the [[Payload#Carts|cart]] through all 4 capture points while [[RED]] defends them.
+
'''Cashworks''' is a [[Steam Workshop|community-created]] [[Payload]] map added in the [[Summer 2023 Update]]. It is set in a mountainous sawmill with a large vault located at the end of the map. The vault is blown open upon final Checkpoint capture, revealing a stash of [[Australium]] inside.
  
−
A major feature of this map is the large vault at the final point. After the last point has been captured, the cart explodes and blows the vault's door off, revealing a large stash of [[Australium]] inside. The map also features 3D eagles flying around in the sky, a feature not found in any other map.
+
Cashworks was [https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2904065412 contributed] to the Steam Workshop.

=== Loading Dock ===
+
=== Checkpoint A (Loading Dock) ===
−
The first capture point, Loading Dock, is situated beneath a tall building at the base of slopes on both sides. It is also located just after a narrow downhill section buttressed by a tall building and a rock wall with a retaining wall/platform built against it.
+
The first checkpoint, nicknamed the Loading Dock, is situated beneath a tall building. It is also located just after a narrow downhill section buttressed by the Overlooking Barn and a rock wall with a retaining wall/platform built against it.
 +
*'''Crossing''': Right outside the Blu spawn, a small concrete platform serves as the [[Payload#Gallery|Cart]]'s starting position
 +
*'''Ravine''': The Crossing passes over a small depression in the ground, which serves as one of the Blu's spawn exits.
 +
*'''Overlooking Barn''': As the Cart crosses the Ravine on its way to the first checkpoint, it will inevitably pass by the Overlooking Barn, a large two story structure which overlooks vast parts of point A.
 +
*'''Loading Dock''': A set of logs pilled on top of each other, waiting for a crane (which is high above the Overlooking barn) to pick them up and carry them away.
 +
*'''Underpass''': The place where Checkpoint A is located. It is a small depression in the ground underneath the base of the A Building, essentially forming a sort of a semi-tunnel
 +
*'''Left Flank''': To the left of the Underpass and separated from it by a concrete wall is the Left Flank, a similar sloped depression which passes underneath the A Building.
 +
*'''Shortcut''': Unlike the previous two paths which go below the A building, the Shortcut cuts straight through it, leading almost directly to the first Red spawn.

=== Serpentines ===
+
=== Checkpoint B (Serpentines) ===
−
The second capture point, located at the bottom of a long hill that the track winds through like a serpent on BLU's side. The area features several high ledges and upper paths and is very narrow in comparison to other parts of the map, opening onto a larger open space after the point.

The second checkpoint, located at the bottom of a long hill that the track winds through like a serpent on BLU's side. The area features several high ledges and upper paths and is very narrow in comparison to other parts of the map, opening onto a larger open space after the point.
 +
*'''Serpentine Descent''' After passing the Overpass, the Cart will make a sudden turn to the right and start descending down the Serpentine Descent, a series of cliffs that will take the Cart down a winding path to Checkpoint B.
 +
*'''Tunnel Dugout''': Running parallel with the Serpentine Descent is a small tunnel that burrows into the surrounding cliffs and briefly intersects with an inaccessible Train Tunnel, before linking up with the Tall Silo.
 +
*'''Tall Silo''': After the cart has finished its serpentine descent, it will reach the Tall Silo, a high multi story building that overlooks parts of Checkpoint B and even reaches the Overpass.
 +
*'''Overpass/Sawmill conveyor belt''': Located directly above Checkpoint A, and hence forming an overpass over it, is a structure housing a moving [[Saw blade|saw]], as well as stacks of wooden logs. The entire Serpentine Descent can be overviewed from the Overpass.

=== Power Station ===
+
=== Checkpoint C (Power Station) ===
−
The third capture point, Power Station, is just before a wooden bridge leading to the final capture point. There are large gorges just beyond the point that can be used to push enemies into. The cart passes through the interior of a building, up a slight incline and underneath a bridge connecting two buildings to reach this point.

The third checkpoint, Power Station, is just before a wooden bridge leading to the final capture point. There are large gorges just beyond the point that can be used to push enemies into. The cart passes through the interior of the Workshop, up a slight incline and underneath a bridge connecting the Grain Deposit buildings in order to reach this point.
 +
*'''Central Hub''': Accessible from the Overpass, the Central Hub is a large room which connects Blu's second spawn to various parts of the map
 +
**'''Hallway to point B''': Branching to the right of the Central Hub is a hallway which leads to a clearing slightly behind Checkpoint B, often used by BLU to flank RED defenders.
 +
**'''Hallway to Workshop''': Going left and then turning right leads one to a balcony on the Workshop.
 +
**'''Hallway to point C''': Proceeding straight-on to the left hallway leads one to the Grain Deposits, an area before Checkpoint C
 +
*'''Workshop''': After passing Checkpoint B, the Cart will make a turn to the left and go directly to the Workshop, a large transitional building between the areas of Checkpoint B and Checkpoint C. It has two levels, the lower one which the Cart uses and an upper balcony which overlooks the Grain Deposits and is accessible from the Central Hub.
 +
*'''Transformers''': Once it has cleared the Workshop, the Cart will climb a gentle slope and pass by a set of transformers on its right side.
 +
*'''Grain Deposits''': After climbing the slope, the cart will begin weaving between two separate metallic buildings on which large mounds of grain had accumulated.

=== Vault ===
+
=== Final Checkpoint (Vault) ===
−
The final capture point, placed just in front of RED's large vault, which opens after the final explosion. BLU must push the cart across the wooden bridge and through RED's final spawn area to reach the vault.
+
*'''Truck Garage''': Directly adjacent to the right of Checkpoint C is a small wooden shed housing a truck.
 +
*'''Wooden Foot bridge''': Accessible from the Truck Garage is a foot-bridge which connects two sides of the Gorge.
 +
*'''Gorge''': Between the Checkpoint C and Checkpoint D is a large valley into which water from the Water Powerplant is drained into, it serves as a [[Environmental death#Pitfalls|Pitfall]].
 +
*'''Main Bridge''': Running parallel to the Wooden Foot Bridge is the Main Bridge, over which Cart passes on its way to the final checkpoint.
 +
*'''Water Powerplant''': Another way to cross the Gorge is through the Water Powerplant, a large linear building on the right side of the Gorge.
 +
*'''Chicken-wire Platform''' Overlooking the Checkpoint D is a large platform made out of chicken-wire fencing.
 +
The final checkpoint, placed just in front of RED's large vault, which opens after the final explosion. BLU must push the cart across the Main Bridge and through RED's final spawn area to reach the vault.

== Strategy ==
 
== Strategy ==
−
*All four capture points feature elevated areas or platforms that provide prime [[Sentry Gun]] placements for [[Engineer]]s.
+
{{map strategy link|Cashworks|main=yes|stub=yes}}
−
*BLU Engineers can set up a [[Teleporter]] and/or Sentry Gun inside the large building next to Power Station, though they should still keep a close eye out for RED [[Spy|Spies]] who can sneak in through the open entrances.
 
−
* The narrow, winding downhill path between Loading Dock and Serpentines puts RED at a significant disadvantage, especially if multiple BLU members are pushing the cart. Instead, wait for the cart to near the bottom of the hill and surprise BLU with an ambush.
 
−
**If RED does attempt to stop the cart as it moves downhill, send in [[Pyro]]s and [[Heavy|Heavies]] with [[Medic]]s to support them.
 
−
* The number of high platforms here are perfect for RED Pyros looking to ambush the cart. Make use of them to attack unsuspecting enemies below!
 
−
* BLU should have an [[ÜberCharge]] prepared by the time the cart is pushed past the Power Station, as RED will generally have multiple Sentry Guns set up around the Vault capture point to stop any pushes.

Cashworks is a community-created Payload map added in the Summer 2023 Update. It is set in a mountainous sawmill with a large vault located at the end of the map. The vault is blown open upon final Checkpoint capture, revealing a stash of Australium inside.

Cashworks was contributed to the Steam Workshop.

Locations

Checkpoint A (Loading Dock)

The first checkpoint, nicknamed the Loading Dock, is situated beneath a tall building. It is also located just after a narrow downhill section buttressed by the Overlooking Barn and a rock wall with a retaining wall/platform built against it.

  • Crossing: Right outside the Blu spawn, a small concrete platform serves as the Cart's starting position
  • Ravine: The Crossing passes over a small depression in the ground, which serves as one of the Blu's spawn exits.
  • Overlooking Barn: As the Cart crosses the Ravine on its way to the first checkpoint, it will inevitably pass by the Overlooking Barn, a large two story structure which overlooks vast parts of point A.
  • Loading Dock: A set of logs pilled on top of each other, waiting for a crane (which is high above the Overlooking barn) to pick them up and carry them away.
  • Underpass: The place where Checkpoint A is located. It is a small depression in the ground underneath the base of the A Building, essentially forming a sort of a semi-tunnel
  • Left Flank: To the left of the Underpass and separated from it by a concrete wall is the Left Flank, a similar sloped depression which passes underneath the A Building.
  • Shortcut: Unlike the previous two paths which go below the A building, the Shortcut cuts straight through it, leading almost directly to the first Red spawn.

  • BLU's first spawn area.

  • The interior of the water pipe building.

  • The hill leading to checkpoint A

  • The first checkpoint, Loading Dock.

  • RED's first spawn area near checkpoint A.

Checkpoint B (Serpentines)

The second checkpoint, located at the bottom of a long hill that the track winds through like a serpent on BLU's side. The area features several high ledges and upper paths and is very narrow in comparison to other parts of the map, opening onto a larger open space after the point.

  • Serpentine Descent After passing the Overpass, the Cart will make a sudden turn to the right and start descending down the Serpentine Descent, a series of cliffs that will take the Cart down a winding path to Checkpoint B.
  • Tunnel Dugout: Running parallel with the Serpentine Descent is a small tunnel that burrows into the surrounding cliffs and briefly intersects with an inaccessible Train Tunnel, before linking up with the Tall Silo.
  • Tall Silo: After the cart has finished its serpentine descent, it will reach the Tall Silo, a high multi story building that overlooks parts of Checkpoint B and even reaches the Overpass.
  • Overpass/Sawmill conveyor belt: Located directly above Checkpoint A, and hence forming an overpass over it, is a structure housing a moving saw, as well as stacks of wooden logs. The entire Serpentine Descent can be overviewed from the Overpass.

  • The path leading to checkpoint B.

  • The cave area to the right.

  • A dropdown onto the saw area to the left.

  • The moving sawblade above checkpoint B.

  • The flank route at the corner of checkpoint B.

  • The second checkpoint, Serpentines.

  • RED's second spawn area near checkpoint B, and the path to checkpoint C.

Checkpoint C (Power Station)

The third checkpoint, Power Station, is just before a wooden bridge leading to the final capture point. There are large gorges just beyond the point that can be used to push enemies into. The cart passes through the interior of the Workshop, up a slight incline and underneath a bridge connecting the Grain Deposit buildings in order to reach this point.

  • Central Hub: Accessible from the Overpass, the Central Hub is a large room which connects Blu's second spawn to various parts of the map
    • Hallway to point B: Branching to the right of the Central Hub is a hallway which leads to a clearing slightly behind Checkpoint B, often used by BLU to flank RED defenders.
    • Hallway to Workshop: Going left and then turning right leads one to a balcony on the Workshop.
    • Hallway to point C: Proceeding straight-on to the left hallway leads one to the Grain Deposits, an area before Checkpoint C
  • Workshop: After passing Checkpoint B, the Cart will make a turn to the left and go directly to the Workshop, a large transitional building between the areas of Checkpoint B and Checkpoint C. It has two levels, the lower one which the Cart uses and an upper balcony which overlooks the Grain Deposits and is accessible from the Central Hub.
  • Transformers: Once it has cleared the Workshop, the Cart will climb a gentle slope and pass by a set of transformers on its right side.
  • Grain Deposits: After climbing the slope, the cart will begin weaving between two separate metallic buildings on which large mounds of grain had accumulated.

  • BLU's second spawn area.

  • The connector hallways between B and C.

  • The power transformer area.

  • The construction area before checkpoint C.

  • Interiors of the construction area buildings.

  • The third checkpoint, Power Station.

Final Checkpoint (Vault)

  • Truck Garage: Directly adjacent to the right of Checkpoint C is a small wooden shed housing a truck.
  • Wooden Foot bridge: Accessible from the Truck Garage is a foot-bridge which connects two sides of the Gorge.
  • Gorge: Between the Checkpoint C and Checkpoint D is a large valley into which water from the Water Powerplant is drained into, it serves as a Pitfall.
  • Main Bridge: Running parallel to the Wooden Foot Bridge is the Main Bridge, over which Cart passes on its way to the final checkpoint.
  • Water Powerplant: Another way to cross the Gorge is through the Water Powerplant, a large linear building on the right side of the Gorge.
  • Chicken-wire Platform Overlooking the Checkpoint D is a large platform made out of chicken-wire fencing.

The final checkpoint, placed just in front of RED's large vault, which opens after the final explosion. BLU must push the cart across the Main Bridge and through RED's final spawn area to reach the vault.

  • The bridges leading to the Vault.

  • The hallways leading to the right of the bridge.

  • The alternate path to the right of the gate.

  • The backroom accessible to the left of the Vault.

  • The upper deck above the gate.

  • RED's third spawn and the final checkpoint, the Vault.
