– Map description

CTF-Volcano is a Capture the Flag map from Unreal Tournament 4.

Map description

An asymmetrical map taking place in a sometimes-off, sometimes-on volcano. The Red Team has its base inside of the eponymous volcano, and it's composed of the flag base and a single connected route to it, with two additional paths at both sides; the whole thing is reminiscent of both flag bases from CTF-EternalCave. The Blue Team's side is a tower shaped after the one in the CTF-Face series, being a flag at close distance from the entrance and a big pillar in the middle.

At certain intervals in the match, an alarm will sound, the volcano will erupt, and the lower level paths in the middle will be filled with lava, with only a few portions being safe places.

Trivia

• The map was officially introduced in the 2015 June 28th. update.

"Volcano is a CTF map that is reminiscent of older UT maps like "Lava Giant", "Eternal Caves" and "Magma". The map is asymmetrical and is a blast to play! Be sure to keep an eye out for it in the next build coming later in June."

– Stacey "FLaK" Conley

  • Each base now has a chest armor, commitment needed to get each of them.
  • Slightly adjusted rock materials for more clarity of movement speed and scale.
  • Fixed kill volume accuracy in volcano base.
  • Moved temple rocket launcher away from the flag room, now is located on the left entry door to help reduce splash spam
