'''Bread Space''' is a [[Steam Workshop|community-made]] [[Payload]] map released during the [[Smissmas 2021]] update.
Scattered around the site is evidence of attempts to fight off murderous, strange forms of toothy and tentacled tumorous bread.
 
There are scenes of wrecked structures, barricaded rooms, attempts at studying the forms, and desperate mad scrawlings on the walls.
 
BLU team is tasked with pushing a drill cart into the maw of the Bread Monster while RED must defend the bread monster as they have turned into mind-controlled "breadheads".
 
This map also features its own announcer, that being the Astronaut.
 
  
There are multiple flank routes to the last point and the map contains multiple chokepoints.

; {{anchor|Breadcrabs}} '''[[Breadcrab]]s''': Possessing only upper teeth, tentacled Breadcrabs are purported to come from Shells and are rarely found alive. They cannot be accessed by players, but one can be found immediately under first BLU Spawn. Graffiti suggests that they attach to the heads of victims, taking over their minds.

* When the cart reaches the Gate, Big Mama is roused, rising up from the borehole and roaring. Big Mama retracts slightly afterwards, peeping just above the borehole, and snaps at and gibs any player that touches it.
; [[Burstchester]]
 
Posibly contracted from spore pariticles emmited by opened shells, Burstchester is a form that rapidly develops within the chest of a victim (but not within the timeframe of a Payload round), then bursts out of the chest, taking the form of a small, juvenile [[Bread monster|Bread Monster]] that crawls off to eat and grow.
 
{{anchor|Fatties}}  
 
; [[Pumpkin bomb|Fatties]]
 
Littering the facility are corpses of Bread Monsters that appear to have succumbed to their immense green tumors. These are tentatively named 'Fatties' in a recovered Report of Postmortem Examination, Case No. SW1969-04275. They are extremely hazardous as the swollen tumors [[Pumpkin bomb|rupture and spray strong acid when disturbed]].  
 
{{anchor|BigMama}}  
 
; Big Mama (Specimen 79)
 
Big Mama is an incredibly huge Bread Monster that had crawled into Tyco Excavation's borehole. Its tentacles reach throughout the moonbase.  
 
* When surrounded only by its protective "Bread Heads" (mind-controlled [[RED]] Team), Big Mama lies dormant at the bottome, seemingly sleeping, but at great enough depth to cause a [[Pitfall|lethal fall]].
 
* When the cart reaches the Gate, Big Mama is roused, reaching her length above the borehole and roaring.
 
* After roaring and retracting to just protrude out of the borehole, Big Mama snaps at and gibs any player that touches it.

Bread Space is a community-made Payload map released during the Smissmas 2021 update.

Set in a decaying moonbase, the map features a giant Bread Monster that lurks in an excavated pit. Littered about the site are attempts to fight off the strange, murderous forms of tentacled bread, including wrecked structures and barricaded rooms. Attempts at studying the bread-based life forms and mad wall scrawlings indicate the Bread Forms have successfully brainwashed the mercenaries, and a plan to place "shells" in cryogenic stasis to fly back to Earth.

BLU is tasked with pushing a drill cart into the maw of the Bread Monster, while RED, having been turned into mind-controlled "breadheads", work to defend it.

This map also features its own announcer, the Astronaut.

Bread Space was contributed to the Steam Workshop.

Bread Forms

Several Bread Forms (Latin: Panismorph) can be found across the map.

Shells
Cross-top shells are found deeper in the level. They do not open for the players, but are suspected of infecting RED Team through "spores".
Breadcrabs
Possessing only upper teeth, tentacled Breadcrabs are purported to come from Shells and are rarely found alive. They cannot be accessed by players, but one can be found immediately under first BLU Spawn. Graffiti suggests that they attach to the heads of victims, taking over their minds.
Burstchester
Possibly contracted from spore particles emitted by opened Shells, Burstchester is a life form that rapidly develops within the chest of a victim before bursting out, taking the form of a small, juvenile Bread Monster that crawls off to eat and grow.
Fatties
Littered in the facility are corpses of Bread Monsters that appear to have succumbed to immense green tumors. These are tentatively named 'Fatties' in a recovered Report of Postmortem Examination, Case No. SW1969-04275. Their swollen tumors rupture and spray strong acid when disturbed.
Big Mama (Specimen 79)
Big Mama is a humongous Bread Monster that has crawled into Tyco Excavation's borehole. Its tentacles seem to reach throughout the moonbase.
  • When surrounded by its protective "Bread Heads" (mind-controlled RED mercenaries), Big Mama lies dormant at the bottom, seemingly sleeping, but at great enough depth to cause a lethal fall.
  • When the cart reaches the Gate, Big Mama is roused, rising up from the borehole and roaring. Big Mama retracts slightly afterwards, peeping just above the borehole, and snaps at and gibs any player that touches it.

Locations

Checkpoint A: Outer Perimeter

  • BLU Spawn: BLU's first spawn, with two exits directly to the Cart and one exit to the far right side of the base.
  • Front Yard: The area where the Cart starts. It is a desolate piece of terrain without much of anything around it, save for a small platform in front of the Cart.
  • Gate 5: A large gate that opens to a small loading dock, inside of which Checkpoint A sits.
  • Side Path: A short flank to the right of Gate 5, leading to the right side of the Tycho Corp building. It ends in a room with a large window looking out over the area behind Checkpoint A.
  • Collapsed Room: To the left of Gate 5 is a small collapsed room, which can be used to access the area sitting over Checkpoint A.

Checkpoint B: Transition Area

  • Tycho Corp: A large building labeled "Tycho Corp", sitting opposite of Checkpoint A. The right entrance contains a small room that leads into the Elevators, acting as a secondary path toward the next checkpoint.
  • Slope: After passing Checkpoint A, the cart makes its way down a slope towards Checkpoint B through the main entry of the Tycho Corp building.
  • Cave Flank: Next to the slope is an enclosed flank route leading down to the center of the Overrun Room.
  • Elevators: A set of dysfunctional elevator shafts. Occasionally, a malfunctioning elevator will rush by a nearby open shaft, killing players it hits.
  • Overrun Room: The large interior of Tycho Corp that houses the second checkpoint, marked by signs of violence and destruction. BLU team's second spawn is located here, opening after Checkpoint B is captured.

Checkpoint C: The Caves

  • Loading Area: Past Checkpoint B is a series of hills below a loading dock. The loading platform connects the upper pathways, and an alternate route is accessible by Checkpoint B.
  • Shifting Spawn Room: RED team's first spawn room, lying behind a set of walls on the outer edge of the loading area. It closes after Checkpoint B is captured, later becoming a BLU team spawn after Checkpoint C is captured.
  • Pipe Room: A small room with a set of small pipes running through it. It opens into the Cart's tracks, and leads to an additional entrance into the main caves.
  • Airlocks: A set of airlocks, one of which is closed, and the other one being the path which the Cart travels down.
  • Open Pipe: A massive red pipe that runs through the center of the expansive cave, with Checkpoint C sitting directly under it. A section of the pipe is removed, giving access to a platform that overlooks the airlocks.
  • Granite Dugout: The winding path to the right of the main cave entrance, leading behind the checkpoint near the Blast Doors.

Checkpoint D: The Pit

  • Blast Doors: A large, looming set of blast doors that remain closed until the Cart approaches them, after which they will remain open for the rest of the round. Once activated, Big Mama will emerge from a large crater in the ground.
  • Alternate Doors: There are additional doorways on either side of the Blast Doors, providing other means to enter the final area from both low ground and high ground.
  • Excavation Drill Site: The final terminus, and home of Big Mama. Centered around the pit containing Big Mama and the large drill above it, the area is wide open with little cover on the linear Cart track.
  • Ventilation: A small ventilation area to the left of the Drill Site. A RED team spawn exit drops into this room from a duct in the ceiling.
  • Computer Room: The room to the right of the main Drill Site, with computers and terminals across the walls.
  • Cryopod Chamber: RED team's second, final spawn room lies behind the main pit, in a room lined with cyropods.
