Overview of Monaco from the Closed Beta Test

The construction yard is located right in the middle of the map, next to the Cathedral. It's one of the most open areas on the map, with a focus on verticality due to it still being constructed. It has 4 floors, with a crane in center. The crane, and the fact that the site is lower than the houses around it, means there is ample opportunity to scale the site.

The Cathedral

The cathedral, based on the Cathedral of Our Lady Immaculate, in the center of the map is the focal point of the map, often where most of the fights occur at. It's a 2 story building, with rooftop access via ziplines.

Courtyard

The most open part of the map, the courtyard has wide sightlines from the row of houses around it. In the middle there is a fountain, 2 cannons, and 2 raiseable shields.

Park

The park next to the courtyard is a bastion of peace amidst the chaos of Monaco. This area is based on the St Martin Gardens and features 3d scanned assets of real life objects.
