Applejack is a community-created Capture the Flag map added in the Summer 2024 Update. It is made of two opposing farming complexes comprised of barns, sheds, and housing surrounded by team-colored apple orchards, each for the RED and BLU team respectively. A large population of harmless chickens also inhabit the area.
Applejack was contributed to the Steam Workshop.
Locations
- Spawn Room: A square room with two exits and a resupply cabinet. The right exit leads almost straight to the Intelligence room.
- Spawn Yard: The area immediately outside the spawn room.
- Intelligence Room: A small room with two main doors on opposite sides. A small portion of the room has a higher floor and is partially covered by some computers, which also cover a third, smaller door facing the spawn.
- Intelligence Yard: An open area next to the Intelligence room with a large ammo box and a medium health kit on a wooden catwalk. Most classes need to leave through the Intelligence room, but open windows of the team's building can be accessed through jumping techniques.
- Team Building: Each team has a massive building separating their spawn and Intelligence rooms from the center of the map.
- Garage: The room with a truck full of apples.
- Balcony: A balcony overlooking the center of the map.
- Waste Area: The lowest section of the team building's interior, containing radioactive and biohazardous barrels. Part of the dirt ground is under very shallow water.
- Main Battlements: The center of the map. A small storage building sits in the middle, with crates on either side that players can climb to get on top of it.

Trivia
- The map is named after the alcoholic drink, applejack, which is a type of brandy produced from apples.[1]
- In a building on the RED side near the gate blocked by some crates, a barrel, and an arrow sign, is a Pocket Purrer wearing a Last Straw in a bucket. This is a signature of one of the creators, Rhamkin.
- Between the RED spawn and the Intelligence, a tree can be seen out of bounds with a hand-drawn missing poster for a "missing Pootis". This is a reference to the "Lil Pootis" animated series by YouTuber Quazies, where the RED Scout in that series owns a pet "Pootis" (a bird version of Heavy).[2]
- On BLU side, near a panel with some levers, there is a hand drawn version of the YouTuber Aar's logo. This was included as a thank you to Aar for helping with the map.[3]
