Overview of Conifer.

Conifer is a community-made linear Attack/Defend Control Point map featuring a one stage layout. BLU team only needs to capture A and then B before winning the match as there aren't any other stages, similar to most Attack/Defend maps in Valve's map rotation.

Conifer's theme is inspired by the official map Yukon, taking place deep in the Canadian wilderness, where RED team has set up a military and storage base disguised as an abandoned mining facility located in a large canyon, the scenic view of a snowy mountain can also be seen in the background.

There are also various construction equipment and frames of building scattered across the map, hinting to the fact that RED is renovating the site for construction. The final point also features a military base with helicopter pads, an underground storage facility and a satellite dish, further implying that the map is some sort of spytech facility.

Locations

Conifer, BLU spawn

All locations are described from the vantage point of the BLU team as they leave their spawn.

Stage 1, Point A

Control point A is between two buildings atop a bridge suspended above a shallow river which leads to a waterfall which in turn leads to a death pit. A large Ammo pack and medium Health pack is located underneath the bridge.

• Attackers' spawn: BLU's spawn is inside a large building which contains three resupply cabinets and four exits. The first and second exit is on the left which places players right in the middle of a canyon, the second exit is exactly the same but instead places players behind a number of crates, these crates can be used for cover for oncoming fire. The third and fourth exit is on the right which leads atop a roof, to get down to the surface players must jump a short drop. Jumping down leads to a stairwell which connects to a cave, this cave contains a medium Ammo pack and a small Health pack.

• Road: The road can be reached by turning left inside the canyon and climbing a ramp. The road contains various construction equipment which can be used to avoid being hit by oncoming fire while following the road. Near the end of the road there is a container-like building which contains a large Ammo pack and medium Health pack as well as window which Snipers can use due to the long sightlines to the point provided.

• Control Point A Building: The building that leads to control point A has two pathways. The first path leads underneath the building and places players under the bridge of which the control point stands atop of. The second path is located at the upper half of the building, giving the high ground to BLU players which can be used as an advantage in capturing the point.

Stage 1, Point B

Control point B is on an underground platform near the storage facility which is suspended above a death pit. A large Ammo pack is located nearby, next to some boxes inside the storage facility.

• Paths: There are three paths that can be used to reach control point B. The first path is on the left and leads to a building which in turn leads to a veranda where a medium Ammo pack and medium Health pack is located, jumping down the veranda takes the player to a helicopter pad where a large Ammo pack is next to it. The second path is in the middle and leads directly to the high ground to have an advantage in capturing the point. The third path is located on the right inside a building, the building then leads to a cave which then takes players behind the control point, this path can be utilized as an area to set up an ambush.

• Defenders spawn: The spawn point for the defenders is inside a shack behind a building past control point B, it has two exits and a single resupply cabinet.
