Details[]
This outpost contains three distinct areas with various points of interest: There's a large container yard that leads to a few defend-able spots. There is a fenced area with several large power generators and two special signs nearby, that is marked with moving red/green arrows that will propel anyone jumping near it.
Finally, there are two large building that were once connected via an overpass that is now broken, which left a large gap between. The north-west one has a bunch of floating platforms and some pipes on the wall and for some reason, there's a large monster watching from a large hole in the wall. The north-east building simply leads to the overpass.
There are several marked pathways on the walls across the map meant for an exclusive mutant (replacing the default mutants): Spider Nano. A new Maiden / Enchantress-like creature with the ability to climb the marked pathways, which serve as alternate routes to various spots or to access an exclusive area for them (and high jumping mutants) to hide.
The climbing is done in third-person view, but after getting off one of these path, it remains in third-person. They can toggle between both views via the mouse wheel scroll at any time and is entirely exclusive to them. Additionally, they still retains the default ability to run faster, albeit for a much shorter period of time compared to the Dread mutants.Trivia[]
- According to CrossFire China's patch notes, it should take nineteen jumps to get to the highest point in the map.
- Like Thunder Vault, in CF Vietnam, the map does not feature Havoc vs. Nemesis, but rather the original Xeno vs. Commandos combo. It is still unknown however whether this was intentional or not but is likely a mistake.
