Panic is a Payload Race map created for the TF2Maps.net A/D CTF and Payload Race Contest. It won second place.
Panic is set in a small industrial area, surrounded by forest. Unlike most other Payload maps, it is possible to be killed by your own cart on this map: In the first stage, the cart falls down a ramp and rolls into its starting position before the start of the round. If you are standing in its way, you will be killed by it, similar to how you can be killed by the trains on Well.
Stage 3 is also unique, as the entire track is a ramp with a hole at the very bottom of it. This forces teams to have to stay on their cart to push it; otherwise, the cart will fall off the map and cause the team to automatically lose.

Goal
Your team must simultaneously push your bomb cart through enemy territory, in order to reach the finishing point, while preventing the enemy team from doing the same.
Strategy
Stage 1
- Due to the early crossover of RED and BLU's carts, Heavies are indispensable to a successful push through the middle of the stage.
Stage 2
- The hill before each finishing point offer an optimum point for Engineers to place their Sentry Guns, as the cart will rollback down the hill if successfully defended.
Stage 3
- Because the cart will rollback if no enemies are pushing it, the Pyro's compression blast is incredibly useful on this map. Teamed up with a Medic, Pyros can easily push multiple enemies off the cart and onto areas below to force a rollback.
