• Mann Co. Chemical Plant: A large industrial complex housing the main control point, as well as encompassing the majority of the map. It is separated from both teams' spawns via a street. There are three entrances on each team's side.
• Goldstream Biohazards/Red Valley Chemicals: This is the left-most/right-most entrance. It has a high-ceiling room which is adjacent to a tank farm. Branching from it are two more exits, one leading to the control point and the other to the Loading Dock.
• Middle Entrance: A hallway that passes by a large acid vat, before leading out either towards the Perch or towards the main capture point.
• Biggs/Imperial: The right-most/left-most entrance , it features a set of stairs that lead up to the Observation Room.

• Perch: Taking the Middle Entrance takes one to a hallway that ends in a secluded wooden balcony overviewing crocodile-infested waters.
• Balcony: Accessible either from the Goldstream Biohazards or the Red Valley Chemicals, it is a simple wooden terrace that overlooks the control point.
• Observation Room: A large, slightly elevated room right next to the point. It is furnished with various machinery and gauges and is made out of a one-way glass, allowing those inside it to see the point, but not the other way around. It can be reached by ascending the stairwell, climbing up some stairs or blast jumping through an opening in the floor.
• Underneath The Hill: Below the control point is an underground section containing some piping and a medium health kit.
• Loading Dock: On the opposite side of the Platform is the Loading Dock, a large concrete platform that overlooks more crocodile waters. It directly connects BLU's Goldstream Biohazards and RED's Valley Chemicals entrance.

• Underworld: After roughly 4 minutes, two portals open up that lead to the Underworld; a labyrinth of sewage tunnels that inflict health drain on their inhabitants. Upon entering the Underworld, players are overhealed and given a short speed boost in order to aid their escape. However, they need to stick to the Sewage walls, as falling into Sewage water drains their health even faster. The layout of the Underworld is randomly generated upon each round restart. There are occasional medium health kits scattered around the Underworld, while large health kits can be found in dead-ends. Escaping the Underworld rewards players with an ÜberCharge effect, speedboost, overheal, and Critical hits.
