Map Overview
Cashworks overview.png

Cashworks is a single-stage mountainous Alpine-styled Payload map, made by Eerieone. BLU's goal is to push the cart through all 4 capture points while RED defends them.

A major feature of this map is the large vault at the final point. After the last point has been captured, the cart explodes and blows the vault's door off, revealing a large stash of gold inside.

Locations

Loading Dock

The first capture point, Loading Dock is situated beneath a tall building at the base of slopes on both sides.

Serpentines

The second capture point, located at the bottom of a long hill that the track winds through like a serpent on BLU's side.

Power Station

The third capture point, Power Station is just before a wooden bridge leading to the final capture point.

Vault

The final capture point, placed just in front of RED's large vault, which opens after the final explosion.

Strategy

  • All four capture points feature elevated areas or platforms that provide prime Sentry Gun placements for Engineers.
  • BLU Engineers can set up a Teleporter and/or Sentry Gun inside the large building next to Power Station, though they should still keep a close eye out for RED Spies who can sneak in through the open entrances.
  • The narrow, winding downhill path between Loading Dock and Serpentines puts RED at a significant disadvantage, especially if multiple BLU members are pushing the cart. Instead, wait for the cart to near the bottom of the hill and surprise BLU with an ambush.
    • If RED does attempt to stop the cart as it moves downhill, send in Pyros and Heavies with Medics to support them.
  • The number of high platforms here are perfect for RED Pyros looking to ambush the cart. Make use of them to attack unsuspecting enemies below!
