Rotunda is a community-created King of the Hill map. The map is set in a dilapidated, full rotunda railway roundhouse in southeast Germany, with the teams fighting over a reactor called The McGuffin on a flat car on the turntable with a team-colored steam locomotive coupled to each end. This map is partially inspired by the open layouts of Nucleus and Harvest. If BLU captures the control point, their steam locomotive emits steam while playing a whistle and vice versa for RED.
Rotunda was contributed to the Steam Workshop.
