Locations

Checkpoint A

• Christmas Tree: Right outside the Blu's right spawn exit, a large yard containing a decorated Christmas tree can be seen.
• Boulder: Directly attached to the Blu spawn is a rocky boulder.
• Brick Building: Right across the Blu spawn, the Brick Building serves as a shortcut to the first checkpoint.
• A Building: Overlooking the point A is a large, rectangular building. It has four entrences/exits, one of which is a gate which can only be opened from the inside.
• Sentry Deck: In front of the aforementioned A building is a simple wooden deck with some cover. Often a major defensive position.

Checkpoint B

• Chute: An industrialesque building which contains a chute leading to the Jenkin Coal.co
• Jenkin Coal.co: Named after the sign plastered on it, this is a large building complex right in the middle of the map. Besides acting as a shortcut to B, it also houses the Blu's second spawn.
• Concrete platform: Opposite the Jenkin Coal.co is a small cement platform with a chainlink fence. Has a medium Health and Ammo pack.
• Sniper's Hut: As indicated by its name, this wooden hut often houses Red Snipers.

Checkpoint C

• Dropdown: Not actually a dropdown. Just a room with an elevated Platform, only accessible via blast jumping.
• Gates: Just before reaching checkpoint C, the Cart will stop and wait for the metal gates in front it to open up.
• Flank: On C's right side is a simple building serving as a flank route around the Gates.

Checkpoint D

• Shack: Located right next to the Red's third spawn.
• Clearing A piece of flat, elevated ground. Also found right in front of the Red's third spawn.
• Factory: A large complex building. Composed of multiple floors, routes, staircases and opening. Whoever controls this building usually wins the battle of checkpoint D.
• Shipping Crates: Some shipping crates can be seen just in front of the Delivery Pod.
• Delivery Pod: The pit in which the Blu is supposed to throw the Cart. Although it is a Pitfall, it is covered by wooden planks for the majority of the game. As such, it does not claim many victims during the round.
