Rotunda is a community-created King of the Hill map. The map is set in a dilapidated, full rotunda railway roundhouse in southeast Germany, with the teams fighting over a reactor on a flat car on the turntable with a team-colored steam locomotive coupled to each end. This map is partially inspired by the open layouts of Nucleus and Harvest.
Rotunda was contributed to the Steam Workshop.
Locations
- Spawn Yard: The Yard rollout for the Spawn room.
- Train: A slow, continuously passing train protecting one Spawn gate.
- Outer Rotunda: The outer ring of ground floor rooms and routes.
- Inner Rotunda: The open platform around a Turntable.
- Turntable: The control point is at the center of the Turntable.
- Basement: From the yard, an entrance under a "secret" hatch leads to a maze of basement rooms.
- Pit: The level below the Turntable.
- Catwalk: The platform overlooking the Turntable, connecting to a small control shack that houses a medium health pack.
