Precipice is a community-made Payload map released during the Scream Fortress 2019 update.

Precipice was contributed to the Steam Workshop.

Locations

Checkpoint A

The BLU team starts at their headquarters with the Payload, with the first checkpoint right around the corner from where they start.

  • Headquarters (BLU Spawn): The initial respawn and resupply area is a farm building with three exits, two for the left and one for the right. The center-most exit deposits players directly onto the cart in the middle of a field, whereas the far left exit leads to an elevated area to the side of the Payload. The right exit, meanwhile, allows players to take a route slightly further ahead of the Payload. There are two resupply cabinets: one located in the middle of the respawn room and one in the hallway to the right spawn exit.
  • Courtyard: Located directly outside the respawn building is the courtyard where the Payload track starts. This courtyard features basic elevated platforms and partial walling. The only building in this courtyard (other than the BLU spawn) houses the only health kit for this area.
  • Buildings: At the end of the courtyard lies the first checkpoint. On the left of the checkpoint is a series of buildings, which not only connect from checkpoint A to checkpoint B but also house a RED resupply room. On the right of the checkpoint lies the cliff edge, which acts as an environmental hazard for any classes that fall off.

Checkpoint B

Checkpoint B is located running parallel to a series of hallways, with the cliff edge running on its other side.

  • Buildings: Continued on from checkpoint A are a series of hallways running through the two sections. A RED resupply room is featured, as well as a one-way door that allows players to step onto the patio surrounding the cart track. The other end of the hallway deposits directly in front of checkpoint B, with the aforementioned patio circling the outer perimeter of the building.
  • Cliff Edge: The cliff also continues from checkpoint A, growing in size to be a more formidable threat.
  • Shacks: Hanging on the cliff are two shacks. The first shack has a staircase leading up to a three-walled room, with health and ammo present. The second stops right before the cliff, with a treacherous platform hanging off with the promise of ammo. This platform is situated directly opposite of the RED resupply room, with a sign acting as a barrier between the two.

Checkpoint C

Checkpoint C is located tightly within a tunnel. At the end of this tunnel is a hallway, and to the outside is a path running parallel.

  • Flank: Just before the entrance to the cave lies a one-way gate to the right, only opening from the defending team's side. Once Checkpoint C is captured, this gate opens permanently, allowing access from both sides.
  • Caves: To the left is the path which the Payload track follows, going into a tight mining tunnel. At the end of this tunnel is a platform, connected to a hallway that ultimately leads to the final control point. There are also two inlays in the center of the tunnel, one with health and ammo, allowing players to take cover.

Checkpoint D

The final checkpoint lies behind two main pushes. The first one requires teams to push through the gates of an open shipping yard, where cover is plentiful and some minimal flanking is available. The second one opens up into a center surrounded by a building, where numerous hallways and vantage points allow the cart to be seen from just about every angle.

  • Shipping Yard: Between points C and D lies an open yard with various shipping containers and crates. To the left of this yard is the hallway that connects C to D, acting as a way for classes to traverse between the points without having to take the frontlines. There is also a broken dock, which can act as a smaller-scale side route.
  • Final Point: Situated in the center of a hallway complex, the final point is a wide, open space, directly exposed to pathways both around and above the Payload track.
  • Hallways: Similar to the final point on Upward, a RED respawn room is inside the walls of a building. This building has multiple narrow, small hallways, with the outside wrapped in patios. This route allows for great visibility on the Payload cart and is easily accessible by either team.
