Rumford publicity blurb

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

Rumford was contributed to the Steam Workshop.

Locations

Checkpoint A

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

Checkpoint B

  • BLU's Second Spawn: The second spawn room that BLU spawns in once Checkpoint A is captured. It has 2 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: The halfway point from BLU's first spawn to Checkpoint B.
  • Rumford Paper Co.: The inside of the Rumford Paper Co. building. It contains the RED team's first spawn room and two branching paths that lead further inside the building complex.
