Locations
- Red Crabbing Co. and Bluefin Fishery: the RED and BLU spawn rooms, respectively. They each have two lower doors, a central and a side one, with a resupply cabinet each, and an upper side door with no cabinet (on the right side for RED and on the left side for BLU).
- Slider Sailing Co. and Bijou Buoys Ltd.: the first building that RED and BLU (respectively) must go through or around. The Slider Sailing Co. building has several buoys hanging on its outer walls, while the Bijou Buoys Ltd. building has a "To die for" ad for canned fish.
- RED and BLU Brinelake Cannery: the second building the teams must go through in order to reach the point. Going through the middle takes players straight to the point, with a side door above a few steps that can take players to a vantage point over the beach and the point. The side doorway offers flank routes to the point and the Storage Room. A third passage going under the building takes players to the Beach.
- Control Point: the control point sits in-between two buildings, the Shack and the Storage Room's.
- Storage Room: the interior of the central Brinelake Cannery building, containing a medium ammo pack and a small health kit.
- Shack: A red wooden shack with access to a flooded underground passage connecting both sides of the map, as well as the Beach Perch.
- Beach Perch: A veranda overseeing the Beach, which can only be accessed through jumping techniques. Beneath it are a medium ammo pack and health kit.
- Beach: A small area that can be used for flanking.
