Rumford is a community-created Payload map added in the Smissmas 2022 update. It is set in a mill that turns paper into wrapping paper.

Rumford was contributed to the Steam Workshop.

Locations

Checkpoint A

  • BLU Spawn: This is BLU team's first spawn point at the beginning of the round. It has 3 exit points, one facing the small building, one facing the flank, and on in the middle where the cart is.
  • Flank: A flank route.
  • Small Building: The small building is located in front of the first exit of the BLU Spawn.

Checkpoint B

  • BLU's Second Spawn: The second spawn room that BLU spawns in once Checkpoint A is captured. It has two exits, the main exit facing the Rumford Paper Co building, and the other on the side facing the flank, leading to a more open area of the map that leads to Checkpoint A.
  • The Halfway Point: A halfway point from the beginning of the cart's journey to Checkpoint B.
  • Rumford Paper Co.: The inside of the Rumford Paper Co. building. It contains RED's first spawn room and leads to two other continuations of the Rumford Paper Co. building.

Trivia

  • Rumford is inspired by a paper mill located in the town of Rumford, Maine, USA. In keeping with the setting, Rumford includes signs in both French and English, reflecting the close proximity of Maine to the Canadian border. Additionally, the map features an active rail line, the Rumford Rail Company, which is based on real-life rail companies.[1]
  • A secret room near checkpoint A can be revealed by shooting four deer cutouts in the out-of-bounds areas of the map.
  • The numbers on the buildings represent the phone area code for Maine, which is 207.[1]
  • Some of the "employees of the year" posters are a representation of the map's contributors.[1]
