Atom Smash is a community-made Player Destruction map added in the Summer 2024 Update.

The delivery point is surrounded by a shield for a set period of time. After a set amount of time, the shield disappears, and it is possible to step onto the point and Irradiated Australium may be delivered by the team controlling the Delivery Zone. Once the delivery period is over, players are forced off the point and the forcefield goes back up.

Atom Smash was contributed to the Steam Workshop.
