Map description[]

The map is an abandoned, burned out facility, with plenty of areas. For description purposes, we're going to give each name an area.

North Flak Room (violet): The area in the north of the map with the balcony and the ramps. Has corridors to most of the map.
Catwalk Room (pink): Located west of the Flak Room, has a catwalk going around the whole area leading to the lower level of the Flak Room, it leads to the...
ASMD Chamber (pale green): a two-level room whose upper level contains three beams, one of which holds the eponymous weapon. The lower level at east is connected to the Hub area and the West Flak area at, well, west, and the upper level with the Sniper Room, also at east.
Hub (light green): the main area of the map, recognizable by its "V" shaped narrow catwalk. Connected to most areas of the map: at north, a door with the Super Health Pack leads into the lower level of the North Flak Room, at west, a passage leads to the upper level of the same area, at east, another passage not only connects the area with the lower level of the North Flak Room but also the lower level of the Sniper Room, and at south it connects the area with the ASMD Chamber. Below the Super Health balcony there's an entrance from a spawnpoint.
Sniper Room (pale orange): also two-levelled, the main feature is a platform suspended by two diagonal beams holding the Shield Belt. An elevator connects both levels, the Rifle can be found just entering the upper level, and in front of the platform there's a secret chamber. Connected to the passage to North Flak Room and Hub at northeast, ASMD Chamber at west, and South Room at southeast.
West Flak Room (light blue): located southwest of the map, holds the eponymous weapon and contains a ramp to the upper level. Connects the ASMD Chamber with the South Room.
South Room (green): located south of the map, connects the West Flak Room with the lower level of the Sniper Room. A pair of stairs connect both levels.

Tips and tricks[]

There's a lot of explosive weaponry and plenty of ammo for the Eightball and Flak Cannon. Plus, the areas are quite cramped. ASMD Combos work quite well and can cause a lot of damage.
Due to the above, make sure to stay healthy and well armored at all times.

Secret areas[]

Jumping from the north platform into the ledge above the entrance from the ASMD Chamber nets you a secret room with some armor, a Dampener and a Kevlar Suit.

Trivia[]

The map was considered for Unreal Tournament, and in fact appeared, untouched, in the betas. Needless to say, it didn't made the cut for the retail version. For it's inclusion in the Epic Bonus Pack as DM-Shrapnel][, it underwent through a lot of changes.
In addition to the Fusion Map Pack, this map appeared in the Unreal OEM version 223m.
Levelshots for the map were added in the OldUnreal version 227j patch.
