Basic Information
Developer(s): {{{map-developer}}}

Panic is a Payload Race map created for the TF2Maps.net A/D CTF and Payload Race Contest. It won second place.

Panic is set in a small industrial area, surrounded by forest. Unlike most other payload maps, it is possible to be killed by your own cart on this map: In the first stage, the cart falls down a ramp and rolls into its starting position before the start of the round. If you are standing in its way, you will be killed by it, similar to how you can be killed by the trains on Well.

Also, stage 3 is also unique as the entire track is a ramp with a hole at the very bottom of it. This forces teams to have to stay on their cart to push it, otherwise the cart will fall off the map and cause the team to lose. This stage tends to go significantly faster than other stages and maps, especially when teams can't get to their cart on time to stop it from falling.
