| − | * '''The Device''' - The swirling, colorful Doomsday Device which dominates the center of the map. It contains the map's Control point, which unlocks after 60 seconds.
| |
| − | * '''The Pit''' - Directly below The Device is a bottomless radioactive pit with a narrow catwalk suspended just above it. The catwalk holds a [[Health|Medium Health Pickup]], but the pit is an unavoidable death for anyone unfortunate enough to fall in.
| |
| − | * '''The Perimeter''' - The series of ledges and catwalks which directly surround the Pit. The Perimeter is further divided into ''"[[RED]]-Side Perimeter"'' and ''"[[BLU]]-Side Perimeter"'', based on which spawn room is on that side of the map. Narrow bridges to the control point appear across the pit after the control point is opened.

| − | == Strategy ==
| |
| − | * [[Scout]]s with the [[Force-A-Nature]] and [[Pyro]]s with either the [[Flamethrower]] or the [[Degreaser]] equipped can use their weapons to [[Knockback|knock]] their opponents into the center pit and to an instant death. This also works for Soldiers and Demomen, although this is more difficult.
| |
| − | * There are many fast routes in the map that are ideal for Scouts. Jumping over the chasm can provide a quick escape from an enemy. The medium health pickup is only two jumps away from almost any point on the map, seeing as it's placed low and in the middle.
| |
| − | * This map allows for successful [[Heavy]] ambushes, as the narrow catwalks leading to the center Control Point give enemies no space to avoid the [[Minigun]].
| |
| − | * At the start of a round, Scouts are able to jump on the roof of a low building to the right or to the left as they leave spawn depending on which team you are on (BLU = Left, RED = Right). This allows access to a fast route to the other team's spawn area. Be advised that [[Soldiers]] and [[Demomen]] may favour this route as well.
| |
| − | * Though overall a good map for [[Spy|Spies]], the circular nature of the map disrupts line of sight, meaning you have little warning before enemies are suddenly upon you.
| |
| − | * [[Heavy|Heavies]] and [[Soldier]]s should be alert of enemy [[Snipers]]. Going into the doorway near the [[spawn]] is a good way to avoid them.
| |
| − | * The circular nature of the map allows for easy access to the opposing team's spawn entrance, which in turn opens for [[ambushing]].
| |
| − | * As the [[Engineer]], you can deploy a [[Sentry Gun]] near the medkit, which finishes off any enemies with low health trying to get to the medkit.
| |
| − | * The roof on one side of the map has an opening on the top, giving Soldiers and Demomen an opportunity to do much damage without being noticed.
| |
| − | * It is possible, albeit highly difficult, to escape from the lower platform of the map to the surrounding ledges as a Scout by [[Double Jump|double jump]]ing and crouching as you approach the edge of the ledges. This technique is made much simpler through use the the Force-A-Nature, though it can be performed by any Scout, regardless of loadout.
