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.
