An overhead map of Monaco

Monaco, officially the Principality of Monaco, is a sovereign city-state and microstate on the French Rivier, a few kilometeres west of the Italian region of Liguria, in Western Europe, on the Mediterranean Sea. The map in specific is set on the Rock of Monaco, part of Monaco City, one of the 4 quarters of Monaco.

Unlike Seoul, Monaco is more horizontally focused than vertically. You'll find parks, a Cathedral, and gardens instead of high-rises and hospitals.

Points Of Interest

The Duck And Cover map modifer's effect on the Cathedral.

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. The bottom floor is mainly reserved for the four spiral staircases on the corners of the cathedral and dozens of pews in the middle of it. The second floor is mostly just access to windows facing out every direction, making for excellent cover. On the North and south ends of the Cathedral there are ropes allowing for access to the roof. During the Duck & Cover map modifier, the building is removed and replaced with rubble.

Construction

The construction yard is located directly east of the Cathedral, with a clearing between it and the construction site itself. The building has five stories. With access determined by a single staircase on the far east of the yard, or via the zipline attached to the Crane in the middle of the site. The middle of the site is open, allowing for easy access to the bottom floors from the upper ones.

Royal Plaza

The courtyard is the most open space in the map, with long sightlines looking back towards the buildings in Monaco. The courtyard is surrounded on the west by a LCD screen preventing contestants from roaming. There are multiple objects providing cover on the approach to the center of the Courtyard, from a generator, to waist high walls contestants can crouch behind. It also has a wide variety of interactable objects, such as Cannons, and raisable cover that can cover the center of the plaza, or the flanks. This courtyard is based on the Place du Palais.
