Tips and tricks[]
Prima Official Guide[]
"To survive in Flux 2, know how to use your weapons in wide-open ground. The map is built around an expansive base surrounded by a small outdoor area. Many good weapons and a few power-ups are stored outside, but the most heated action takes place inside.
The confined-space combat you learned in smaller maps is worthless here. You need to be accurate with all your weapons. If not, your enemies pick you off from a distance.
Deathmatch Strategy
Two offensive strategies are effective in this map. Choose the one that suits you. The first is best for those proficient with the rocket launcher or sniper rifle. Both weapons are outdoors, so your first move is to the outside.
You waste a little time getting the weapons (although you often find a little combat along the way), but the journey’s worth it if you can score kills quickly. This strategy involves many trips back and forth, with short bursts of intense, scoring combat.
The other technique is to be always in the center of the action. Go to the middle of the large building and fight, using whatever weapons come your way. You’re often at a severe disadvantage, and you die more often than usual. If you make good use of the weapons that people drop, however, you build a high score quickly.
Survival Strategy
Players good with the lightning gun and shock rifle have a distinct advantage. Because of Flux 2’s large size, grab the lightning gun first.
Once you’re armed, head to the upper level of the building and wait. Even if your opponent stocks up on health and armor, you can take away that advantage with a sniper attack. Use the shock combo if your enemy is hiding around a corner or behind something.
Team Deathmatch Strategy
A smart team can completely lock up the outside of the map by putting two snipers at opposite corners. Station one sniper at the lightning gun spawn point and the other atop the platform with the double damage power-up.
From these perches your team can watch the entire outdoor area, striking down anyone who ventures out of the main room. Once you control the area, your team has exclusive rights to the lightning gun, rocket launcher, shield pack, and double damage.
Single-Player Strategy
Prepare for some carnage. The bots are plenty tough at firing weapons in open areas. But if you’re skilled, you put a lot of bots down as well. Use the same strategy that you would regular Deathmatch and throw yourself into the thick of it.
Try using the lightning gun to snipe inside the building from the outdoor area. You can usually get some quick kills that way.
Sniping Spot
This map has few truly good sniping spots. The best are outdoors, but you face far fewer opponents there, so it’s hard to keep up with the rising kill count indoors.
One outdoor sniping spot stands out. If you stand atop the bunker that the rocket launcher spawns in, you can clearly see two open sides of the map. Nail enemies as they make a run for the all-too-appealing rocket launcher.
If your foes are persistent in their desire for the rocket launcher, your score skyrockets. If they give up easily, you have to break camp.
Kill Zone
The middle area of this map is a classic kill zone. For intense action, just camp out here. Everyone else comes to you. It’s not even important to be properly armed. Eventually someone with a bigger gun dies in this area, giving you the weapon you need to go about your business more efficiently."

Trivia[]
- The UC Beta version consists of only the interior structure, which hasn't changed much since then. The outer areas were added later.
Easter Egg[]
- There's a frozen cow on the outside.[1] In order to activate this egg, go to the top of the Shock Rifle walkway and shoot the two conducts above the entrance to the base. Once done, go to the Rocket Launcher hideout near this ramp. A secret chamber with a frozen cow inside will be revealed.
