Locations
The following locations are told from BLU's point of view
Control Point A
Control Point A is located inside of an open building that is undergoing construction.
- Dicot Holdings: The main area where BLU's first spawn resides. A split path leads to either the front or back side of the Control Point.
- Construction House: The building housing the Control Point.
- Data Link Building: Across from the point is a building that overlooks the area from an open doorway above. Its lower half can be used to access the path to the next Control Point.
- BLU's Second Spawn: BLU team's second spawn is located here, opening once point A is captured.

Control Point B
Control Point B is directly outside of RED base, and next to a large sequoia tree.
- Main Path: The area after Control Point A. A small side route to the left allows players to wrap around the other side.
- Elevator: A small room that leads behind Control Point B. BLU's third spawn is located here, unlocking after B is captured.
- Sequoia: A large, towering sequoia tree, with a wooden pathway built around it. A short underpass leads to a flank route.
- RED's First Spawn: RED team's first spawn is across from point B. It closes following point A's capture.

- Under Path: A lower path that can be used to access the back area of the Control Point from below.
