1. Path of Exile

Your journey begins at an abandoned train station. Move through caves, rocky cliffs, and dangerous terrain as you search for the safe room. Be careful where you step — one wrong move can mean instant death!

2. The Otherside

Travel through an ancient underground tunnel before emerging onto the cliffs. This map is filled with deadly drops and environmental hazards, making every movement important.

3. Ash 2 Ashes

Originally based on a Counter-Strike: Source Dust 2 environment, this map transforms familiar surroundings into claustrophobic ancient temple areas. Expect tight spaces and dangerous encounters.

4. Hall of Pain

A trial worthy of the gods awaits. Inspired by ancient mythology, this map features dangerous routes and deadly falls that will test your team's awareness and survival skills.

5. Road to Paradise

The final chapter takes place along a wasteland highway and a military outpost. Your team must complete a scavenging objective, collect fuel, and hold out while waiting for the plane to become ready for departure.

Watch out for the surrounding hazards and incoming infected — one mistake can destroy your escape plan!
