Team Fortress 2 Sniper Update New Maps & New Game Mode

 

Another day and another new info about the goodies in the upcoming sniper update. Valve posted on the official blog that they will be adding two new Arena mode maps with new assets. Apart from these, a new game mode called Payload Race will be introduce whereby Red and Blu start side by side and must race to push their own cart to the final destination.

 

Sawmill

Set in a stormy mountain sawmill, this arena map has its cap point in a large structure atop a hill in the center of the map; beneath which lies a hidden underground spytech base; and above which, pouring down on everything we just mentioned, is rain—the first weather effect to appear in a TF map. If that previous sentence wasn’t long enough for you, replace the period with a comma and add this next part: players must ALSO watch out for the two deadly saw blades near the cap, which were left on when the previous occupants abandoned it for a less deadly, hilly, rain-swamped sawmill not built on a spybase.

 

Nucleus

A diabolical doomsday device is the foundation of this circular arena map, which features long sightlines and a bottomless radioactive pit underneath most of the game area. The cap, located in the center of the arena, is only accessible by catwalks suspended over a chasm, which open after the timer has run down
