DM-HealPod][ is a Deathmatch map from Unreal Tournament. It comes with the Epic Bonus Pack and the Game of the Year edition of the game in PC, and is also present in the Sega Dreamcast version of the game.

Map description

The map serves as a successor to Unreal's DmHealPod. Like its predecessor, it consists of a three-level central chamber housing the namesake Healing Pod, a place where players can restore health. However, this pod is also a crusher, and any of the nearby lower level buttons will trigger it, causing anyone inside to get crushed.

New areas of the map include a dark Sniper Corridor in the upper level housing the eponymous weapon, a new platform and column in the Lower Southwest Area, a containment chamber in the Northeast Hallway that can be opened with a small button located in a ledge in the upper level, and a new Eastern Corridor, connecting the upper level of the Northeast Hallway with the middle level of the Central Area.

Trivia

• The editor may display the presence of a Health Pack inside the central Healing Pod; however, it merely acts as a placeholder of sorts for the Healing Pod and does not appear in-game.

Readme Notes

"Healpod originally shipped with Unreal1. The premise behind the level is that there is no health in it, instead, there is a "pod" in the center of the level that will restore 15 health every second. Now, the level has buttons strategically placed throughout it where players can touch them and cause a masher to deploy which will squish all who are in the pod at the time."
