Atom Smash is a community-made Player Destruction map added in the Summer 2024 Update. It is set in a science facility built in an underground cave.
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.
Locations
- Spawn room: The spawn room consists of a single large room with three exits, one to the top left, one to the top right, and one in the bottom middle. The exit on the left/right leads to a spiral staircase with another exit.
- Spiral Staircase: The spiral staircase exit leads to an open area in a cave/a records room, with an exit leading to the Lower Battlements and stairs up to the Upper Battlements.
- Connector: Right outside the bottom spawn exit is an area which connects to several other areas, with two staircases leading to the Upper Battlements and one exit leading to the Lower Battlements.
- Vat Room: The right exit from BLU spawn leads to a room with 2 large vats, a catwalk on top leads to the Map Room, and a set of stairs leads down to the Lower Battlements.
- Storage Cave: The left exit from the RED spawn leads to an open area in a cave with a small catwalk leading to Map Room, as well as a downwards slope to the Lower Battlements.
- Map Room: A room with a single large health pack and 2 stairs leading up to the Upper Battlements. There are 2 platforms on either side of the room that lead to Vat Room and Storage Cave respectively.
- Upper Battlements: The Upper Battlements consist of a series of rooms that form a circle around the Delivery Zone. Where the RED and BLU sides meet are the Map Room on the B side, and the Dropdown Room on the A side.
- Dropdown Room: Behind the large pillar with an "A" sign on it is a room with a hole in it, leading to a small room of water in the Lower Battlements. At the back of the Dropdown Room is a platform with a medium health pack and a view of a large open cave. There is a staircase leading up to a small catwalk above the Upper Battlements.
- Lower Battlements: The Lower Battlements consists of a ring around the Delivery Zone below the Upper Battlements. It leads to several small areas connecting to other locations, like the Map Room, Connector, and Spiral Staircase areas.

- The open supply closet near the right exit in the BLU spawn room is not properly closed off and as a result leaks.[2]
Trivia
- The map is inspired directly by Quake and Half-Life.[3]
- References to Half-Life can be seen around the map.
- In the observation room at the top of the map there are 3 wooden targets behind the console, 2 RED Engineers and a RED Spy in the middle wearing Graybanns.
