• Big House: Immediately outside of the spawn is a large building with three entrances: a door in the middle and two side entrances. The middle entrance leads to a big room with a staircase to a balcony, as well as a doorway on both sides leading to the left and right hallways. Through the two side entrances are hallways that split off into two more paths; one leads to the outside and to the main room, and another leads to the water. On the left path there is a doorway to the outside and the water entrance is a one-way drop. On the right, there is a large shutter door leading to the outside, while the entrance to the water is a ramp.
• Roof & Walkway: At the top of the Big House is a walkway with 8 windows. 6 are at the front and two are on the side. Only two windows at the front have glass in them, the rest are empty with the windows on the side providing an entrance to the Roof of the building. On the opposite side of the Big House is an inaccessible catwalk. The roof of each side of the Big House can be walked on, but the roof of the Big House itself cannot.
