Like all Attack/Defend maps, [[RED]] always plays defense and [[BLU]] always plays offense, and once the BLU team has captured a control point, it is locked and can never be retaken by RED. The map differs from other Attack/Defend control point maps in that it allows the attackers to capture the first two points (points A and B) in any order before assaulting the final control point (point C). Points A and B are directly accessible from the BLU base, while they must cross through one of them in order to reach point C. RED's base is located near point C.
 +
 
 +
The objective of Coal Pit is that BLU must attack and capture all three points in order to win the match. A and B must be captured before C can be. The objective for RED is that they must hold out and prevent BLU from capturing the final point C. Time is added to the countdown if BLU captures either points A or B in order to buy more time for Control Point C.

* '''BLU Spawn Base''': Located on one side of the map, the BLU base has two exits - one to point A on the left and the other one to point B on the right.
 +
* '''A Side Tunnel''': The tunnel which connects BLU's spawn yard and the point A battlefield.
 +
* '''Valley''': The valley is the area between the two dirt paths which lead up to the control point building. There are numerous small buildings in this area. 
 +
* '''Paths''': On both sides of the area are snow paths which lead to the top of the area and the control point building, as well as tunnels to the right that lead to points B and C.
 +
* '''Radio Tower''': The radio tower houses the control point. It is atop the dirt paths at the far end of the valley. There are two floors, the upper floor with the Control Point and a floor beneath. On the side of the building is a set of stairs which lead up to the control point from the valley.

* '''B Side Tunnel''': There are two tunnels coming from the BLU base to point B. The ''Short B'' to the left exits in front of a small house and next to the A/B connector. The ''Long B'' to the right exits out on the far side of the B area near a rock formation.
 +
* '''A/B Connector''': Between the A and B areas is the A/B connector which is a tunnel that connects from the point A area to point B just under BLU's short B Tunnel exit.
 +
* '''The Radar''': The Radar is the building which houses the Control Point. It has two main entrances, each on opposite ends. There are four windows, two on each side which are all open and accessible. The roof also contains a dropdown directly to the point.
 +
* '''Balcony''': Directly outside the entrances to point C is the Balcony. It's a high area which serves as a vantage point for most of the B area. There are two ramps on either side which lead down to ground level, and two separate rooms that lead to point C.

* '''Ground Level''': Below the catwalks and surrounding the tower is the ground level. On the far side is an entrance which leads to the A/C connector tunnels.

Map Overview
Coal Pit overview.png

Coal Pit is a community-created Attack/Defend Control Point map added in the Smissmas 2022 update.

Like all Attack/Defend maps, RED always plays defense and BLU always plays offense, and once the BLU team has captured a control point, it is locked and can never be retaken by RED. The map differs from other Attack/Defend control point maps in that it allows the attackers to capture the first two points (points A and B) in any order before assaulting the final control point (point C). Points A and B are directly accessible from the BLU base, while they must cross through one of them in order to reach point C. RED's base is located near point C.

The objective of Coal Pit is that BLU must attack and capture all three points in order to win the match. A and B must be captured before C can be. The objective for RED is that they must hold out and prevent BLU from capturing the final point C. Time is added to the countdown if BLU captures either points A or B in order to buy more time for Control Point C.

Coal Pit was contributed to the Steam Workshop.
