Locations
Checkpoint A
- Christmas Tree: Right outside the BLU's right spawn exit, a large yard containing a decorated Christmas tree can be seen.
- Boulder: Directly attached to the BLU spawn is a rocky boulder.
- Brick Building: Right across the BLU spawn, the Brick Building serves as a shortcut to the first checkpoint.
- A point Building: Overlooking the point A is a large, rectangular building. It has four entrances/exits, one of which is a gate which can only be opened from the inside.
- Sentry Deck: In front of the aforementioned A building is a simple wooden deck with some cover. Often a major defensive position.
Checkpoint A
Checkpoint B
- Chute: An industrialesque building which contains a chute leading to the Jenkin Coal Co.
- Jenkin Coal Co.: Named after the sign plastered on it, this is a large building complex right in the middle of the map. Besides acting as a shortcut to B, it also houses the BLU's second spawn.
- Concrete Platform: Opposite the Jenkin Coal Co. is a small cement platform with a chainlink fence. Has a medium health and ammo pack.
- Sniper's Hut: As indicated by its name, this wooden hut often houses RED Snipers.
Checkpoint B
Checkpoint C
- Dropdown: Not actually a dropdown. Just a room with an elevated platform, only accessible via blast jumping. It also has a large health pack.
- Gates: Just before reaching checkpoint C, the Cart stops and waits for the metal gates in front of it to open up.
- Flank: On C's right side is a simple building serving as a flank route around the Gates.
Checkpoint C
Checkpoint D
- Shack: Located right next to the RED's third spawn.
- Clearing A piece of flat, elevated ground. Also found right in front of the RED's third spawn.
- Factory: A large complex building. Composed of multiple floors, routes, staircases and opening. Whoever controls this building usually wins the battle of checkpoint D.
- Shipping Crates: Some shipping crates can be seen just in front of the Delivery Pod.
- Delivery Pod: The pit in which BLU is supposed to throw the Cart. Although it is a pitfall, it is covered by wooden planks for the majority of the game. As such, it does not claim many victims during the round.
Checkpoint D
