Cashworks is a community-created Payload map added in the Summer 2023 Update. It is set in a mountainous sawmill with a large vault located at the end of the map. The vault is blown open upon final Checkpoint capture, revealing a stash of Australium inside.
Cashworks was contributed to the Steam Workshop.

Locations
Checkpoint A (the Loading Dock)
The first capture point, Loading Dock, is situated beneath a tall building at the base of slopes on both sides. It is also located just after a narrow downhill section buttressed by a tall building and a rock wall with a retaining wall/platform built against it.
Checkpoint B (the 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. The area features several high ledges and upper paths and is very narrow in comparison to other parts of the map, opening onto a larger open space after the point.
Checkpoint C (the Power Station)
The third capture point, Power Station, is just before a wooden bridge leading to the final capture point. There are large gorges just beyond the point that can be used to push enemies into. The cart passes through the interior of a building, up a slight incline and underneath a bridge connecting two buildings to reach this point.
Final Checkpoint (the Vault)
The final capture point, placed just in front of RED's large vault, which opens after the final explosion. BLU must push the cart across the wooden bridge and through RED's final spawn area to reach the vault.
