Highpass is a community-created King of the Hill map with a radially symmetric layout released in the Tough Break Update. It is set in an industrial area within the desert. Both teams attack through their industrial bases, fighting to be the king of the central control point, which is located on the middle bridge. There are multiple routes to approach the central point. The vertical design and the height differences between the areas ensure a unique gameplay.

Highpass was contributed to the Steam Workshop.

Locations

Note: If you are having trouble with finding the locations listed here, see the Helpful overview section to see their exact position marked on the map.

Spawn: A house with two exits, which leads towards the Industrial Houses (with a building in between).
Industrial Houses: Both Red and Blu have these sets of buildings, with multiple Sniper perches overlooking the control point. A combination of open-air high ground and two windowed buildings make up the Industrial Houses. The Red and Blu houses fully encircle and look down onto the control point and the Yards.
Yard: In between the Industrial Houses and the Control Point, the Yard makes up the valley of the low ground. Both the Red and Blu Yards connect beneath the Bridge. The Yard also stretches to the sides of the Industrial Houses.
Bridge: Commonly referred to as the Bridge, Highpass' control point sits fully surrounded and exposed on top of a bridge. Both Industrial Houses have full sight on the control point; the Yards sit below the control point with ramps sloping up to it on each side.

Trivia

Texture of the model itself.

There are doors seen in each of the map's spawn rooms which read "Bloodhound" and "Psy", which reference the map's developers who go by the same names.
In the Red spawn, over the stairs in the near room, there is a drawer from a desk in honor to Drawer (who helped in the navigation and design of the map).
- There is also the name of the members of the RETF2 community. Drawer, Maestro Darkha, hk007, Dio Joestar, Bullets, Dvdgg, Dr.DVD, and Yannick "Bloodhound" Xeramon.
While the original map was created by Aaron "Psy" Garcha, Bloodhound took over the project in 2013.
