| “ | Scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could build an underwater research facility, they didn’t stop to think if they should.
— Hadal publicity blurb
|
” |
Hadal is a community-created Attack/Defend Control Point map added in the Summer 2024 Update. The action takes place inside an underwater research center that was built by scientists. There are four control points on the map, with the Main Core control point always being active. If the Main Core control point is captured at any point, the round ends immediately. After each control point is captured, various labelled doors around the map open to allow BLU additional routes of exploration whilst limiting access for RED, and the Main Core control point is gradually raised up.
The setup timer is 60 seconds.
Hadal was contributed to the Steam Workshop.

Locations
The following locations are described from the BLU perspective.
Spawn areas
- BLU Spawn: The room is located at the beginning of the underwater research facility and has a total of five exits. The spawn room also features a submarine and a map blueprint. On the left side of the spawn there are three exits that lead to Sector A. On the right side of the spawn there are two exits that lead to Sector B.
- RED Spawn: The room is located almost in the center of the map and has six exits in total; it also has a lift to the top and map blueprint. There are two exits on the ground floor. The first exit leads to Sector A and Main Core, and the second exit leads to Sector B. The remaining four exits are located on the second floor, which lead to Sector C and the Main Core. As the points are captured, the central platform raises for faster access to the later control points, whilst limiting access to earlier control points; first by closing off the exit towards Sector A, then the one to Sector B, then two exits to Sector C; leaving only an exit to the Main Core.

Sector A
- Dropdown: The right most exit from BLU spawn towards this sector leads to a tall summit that ends in a sharp drop-off.
- Transfer: A flanking room for BLU, that has a large health pack and medium ammo pack respectively, also leads to the Catwalk.
- Catwalk: A strip of area upon the Route that has a spot for cover and a direct line-of-sight to the control point.
- Backroom: A side corridor behind the control point that leads to the A/B Connector, as well as a side path leading to A/Main Connector. Behind the control point itself is a medium health and ammo pack.
- Point A: The first point is located on an elevated platform overlooking Sector A.
- A/B Connector: A hallway that connects Sectors A to the Upper Flank on Sector B. Located to the right of the Backroom. It starts out locked and closed, but eventually opens up after Sector A's capture.
- A/Main Connector: Near the A/B hallway is another corridor, this one leading to the Main Core. Found here is one of the exits from the RED spawn, which becomes closed off after Sector A is captured. Also apart of it is a staircase to the Sewers.

Sector B
- Upper Flank: A room linking up with the A/B Connector, containing a medium health and ammo pack. It offers an additional route after the first point is captured for BLU to attack from.
- Showers: A set of rooms accessible from BLU spawn, allowing access to the main Sector B room, the Upper Flank above, and a 'shower' room sightline of the point. Contains a large ammo pack.
- Fuel Oil: A side area connecting Sector B to both the Main Core and RED spawn, containing a large ammo pack and a small room with a medium health pack. The upper doorway become closed off after Sector B's control point has been captured.
- Point B: The second control point is found up against a curved wall. Above and behind it is a short metal catwalk with a small health and ammo pack as well as a doorway leading to the Plants.

Sector C
- Plants: A room that opens after Sector B has been captured, connecting it to Sector C and offering multiple routes into the Main Core. Contains a medium ammo and health pack.
- Shortcut: Found within the Plants room is a tiny hallway that leads to the Upper Balconies overlooking the Main Core. It starts out closed, unlocking when Sector C has been captured.
- Pipeline: One of the two corridors connecting the Plants to the Sector C. The one on the right descends down, almost to the same level as the Sewer Flank, passing by an oil pipeline.
- Tower: A small, slender building directly behind the control point, containing a medium ammo pack on the upper floor and a medium health pack on the lower floor, as well as a sightline to the Main Core.
- Sewer Flank: Accessible from either a small room adjacent to the A/Main Connector, or from the Pipeline on the other side of Sector C, this V-shaped flank offers access to Sector C from both a lower and an upper path. The uppeer path contains a large ammo and medium health pack. The Sewer flank is wholly flooded with knee-deep water, which isn't deep enough to drown or extinguish players.

Main Core
- Lower Floor: The bottom floor of the Main Core, with doorways leading directly to Sectors A and B, as well as access to the lower half of Sector C. A stairway near to a pair of medium health and ammo packs leads to the Upper Balconies.
- Upper Balconies: Elevated floors featuring various doorways for RED spawn, alongside routes into Sector B and the upper portion of Sector C. Two of the balconies each offer a medium ammo and small health pack.
- Extended Bridge: Separating Sector C from the Main Core's Upper Balconies is a hole leading back to the Sewer Flank. However, once Sector C is captured, a catwalk extends from Sector C that bridges the gap between it and the Upper Balconies.
- Junction: A small room connecting the Main Core to Sector B and the Plants room, containing a medium health pack.

Trivia

- The submarine in BLU spawn is modeled after a submarine from a leaked Half-Life game.[1]
- In RED's first spawn area there is an orange toolbox with an emblem similar to the Half-Life 2 logo. This is a reference to "The Orange Toolbox" a collection of mapping utilities developed by one of the map's creators, "Fubar".[2]
- Hadal refers to the hadal zone, the deepest know layer of the sea.
