Phoenix is a community-created, single-stage Payload map added in the Summer 2023 Update. Drenched in brilliant sunlight that highlights reddish canyon landscapes, is set in the Badlands of the southwestern United States at a national park and reservation. BLU team has unloaded their Payload from a disguised van and plan on pushing it to RED team's nearly completed hydroelectric dam to blow it up; RED must stop them.

Phoenix was contributed to the Steam Workshop.

Locations

The Reststop

  • The Reststop is the first capture point and the beginning of the map, featuring rock structures, small facilities, a road, and BLU team's spawn at a watermill.
  • BLU Spawn: BLU's first spawn has four exits (the 4th is opened after Checkpoint A is captured).

RED Warehouse

  • The building encasing the second capture point and RED's first spawn. It is a large warehouse adjacent to a train bridge.

Dam entrance

  • The dam entrance is the location of the third capture point for BLU. It is the entrance to the Dam through a small side building, featuring BLU's final spawn after capturing this point.

The Hydrodam

  • The final point is located at the base of RED team's hydroelectric dam. To capture the last checkpoint, BLU needs to lift the cart on an inclined elevator which, after reaching the top, plummets to the bottom of the hill and explodes, destroying the dam in the process.
