DM-Codex is a Deathmatch map from Unreal Tournament.
Map description[]

Full view of the map.
A maze to stroll around, this map features some goodies like the Body Armor, Shield Belt, Invisibility core, and of course, a Sniper Rifle to put all the defenses and their bearers' heads to waste.
An easter egg with a picture of Cliff Bleszinski, the level's designer, is hidden in the level. In order to get to it, you must jump from the wooden bridge to the non-connected hallway, and shoot the middle light a few times. Then, go down to the lower wooden bridge, and a small room with Cliff’s portrait will be revealed. Beware, however, as this room extracts 5 health points per second.

Tips and tricks[]
- Jump from the Pulse Gun/Armor area or fall from the Rocket Launcher corner to a ledge holding three Vials.
- In the Sniper Rifle area, shoot the wooden wall between the stairs and the wall to get the Invisibility.
- The area near the body armor (positioned just up a long wooden ramp) is a good sniping spot, as it looks down upon two spawn spots (health is also nearby). The surrounding walls, however, make the sniper susceptible to explosive weapons fire.[1]
- The Rocket Launcher is located at one of the level's high points. From up above, you can spot the walkway below where players are sure to travel. Camp up here and fire rockets down below (though expect to get some grunts and groans from seasoned players).[1]
BradyGames Official Guide (PS2)[]
Invisibility will help you immensely in this level. Where do you find it? Just shoot the pillar near the Sniper Rifle and you shall no longer be seen.
You'll want to attain the Shield Belt immediately; it will give you an incredible amount of defense against attacks. It resides on a bridge just above the central magma flow. Aim for the room with the two staircases perpendicular to each. other and take the one on the right. On your way you'll find a Flak Cannon, and finally, your first left will reward you with a narrow bridge that (hopefully) contains the Shield Belt.
Across that bridge is a room with a Ripper and a Sniper Rifle. In that same area is a Biorifle that is up against a lift in another room. Pick them all up if you haven't gotten the Rocket Launcher.
The Rocket Launcher itself is hidden in a different part of the Codex. If you return to the room with the two staircases and back out through the door on the lower level to the right, you'll come to a lift which will take you up to this wonderful weapon of mayhem. From there you can stock up on Ammo and even some Health Packs if you need them.
Also relative to the staircase room is a bit of Armor that can be found if you take the left exit. If you take a sharp right outside the door, you'll find a Pulse Gun and some Ammo. Also, the Minigun is beneath you one level to the right along with some Ammo. Straight ahead on that lower level, you'll find the Shock Rifle.
This level will see the majority of its fighting taking place in the room with the staircases. It’s best if you just hang back and let people enter this room as you pick them apart one by one with your Sniper Rifle (for the elite crack-shots of the group) or the Rocket Launcher (for the free-for-all loving psychotics). Constantly keep an eye on that health gauge to make sure you're not running on empty.
The Flak Cannon will also be of great use if you prefer the commando-style of running around and acquiring targets. After all, there's nothing more satisfying then scaring the daylights out of a friend as they round the corner where you splatter their head off of their shoulders with a spray of Flak!"
Trivia[]
Easter eggs[]
- Main article: Easter eggs
- Jump from the wooden bridge to the non-connected hallway, and shoot any of the four lamps in the area five times (the order or combination in which this is done does not matter). Then, descend to the lower wooden bridge, and a new room with a picture of Cliff Bleszinski will be revealed. Beware, however, for this room extracts 5 health points per second. The text is different in the PC and PS2 versions: in the PC version it says "Pretty fly...", and when shot it changes to "...(for a white guy!)", but in the PlayStation 2 version, the text was changed to "CliffyB loves you."
- References to other works:
- The text in the secret room of the PC version, "Pretty Fly... (for a white guy!)", is a reference to American band The Offspring and their song of the same name.
