Thunder Mountain is a Payload map to be included with The Engineer Update as an official Valve developed map. It is the third Official Payload map to be developed and released since the Heavy Update. It is also the third Payload map released alongside Upward and Hightower in the Engineer Update

Thunder Mountain is a single stage payload, like Badwater Basin and Upward. However, unlike standard Payload maps such as Badwater Basin and Goldrush, Thunder Mountain features new gameplay elements such as a Bridge which must be raised in order for the Payload to cross.

Goal

  • BLU: The BLU team's primary goal is to guide the blue-colored bomb on its tracks throughout the map. By continuously pushing the cart forward and breaking through RED defensive positions, the bomb will detonate and the BLU team will be victorious. Failure to push the cart forward by having teammates near it will eventually result in the cart slowly moving backwards after a period of time, eroding your team's past progress.
  • RED: Opposite the BLU team's objective, the team function of RED, as a group, is to deter and stall the BLU team and prevent them from advancing the bomb to its final destination. By fighting off their opposition for a long enough period of time, the RED team will be victorious. The most effective way to stall the BLU team is to remain very close to the bomb cart, thereby halting it from moving even with BLU forces nearby.

Trivia

  • Thunder Mountain was revealed on Day 4 of the Engineer Update and is the 3rd Payload styled map to be released with this class pack.
