The Engineer on this map's pitfalls

Upward is a Payload map included with the Engineer Update as an official Valve developed map. It is the first official Payload map to be developed and released since the Heavy Update.

Upward uses a similar design and layout to Badwater Basin, with multiple control points in the same round, unlike Gold Rush and Thunder Mountain, which focus on fast-paced, short rounds with only 2-3 control points per individual round.

Overview of the map.(Large file)

Upward is played in similar fashion to Badwater Basin. It is a single huge stage with one track running through its entirety. Multiple checkpoints along the way add to the timer.
