Map layout
The Tower is a small level, with the main play area taking the form of an X-shape that fits within a 2048x2048 unit square. A canopy is located at the centre of the cross, and houses a berserk pack. At the end of each arm of the X is a small, shallow pit, each containing a different weapon and a spawn point (see player spawns).

To the north and south of the cross, there are a groups of platforms that players can jump to. The platforms in the north mainly contain health bonuses, with a medikit at the middle of the group.

If the player falls off a platform, the lava far below deals 20 damage before armour, and there is no way to escape.
