Dustbowl is a linear-style Attack / Defense map and is a remake of the Team Fortress Classic map of the same name. Dustbowl resembles a coal mining facility in a desert, with minecart tracks winding out of stage 1 BLU spawn. RED must defend a number of Control Points from BLU.

This map is divided into 3 stages, each consisting of two control labelled A and B, making a total of 6 control points. in each stage BLU must capture the control points in the given time while RED must defend in the given time. A must be captured first and then B. If BLU manages to capture all control points in the given time, they win. If not RED wins. Once a control point is taken, it is locked and cannot be re-captured by RED.

Goal

BLU is attacking and must capture both points, A and B in all three stages to win the match. RED must prevent BLU from achieving their goal. Do note that A and B must be captured in that order. This here is text dialog

Locations

Blu Spawn

• Blu Spawn Interior: This mineshaft has three exits, left, right and center. The right exit is the longest, the left and center exit are the shortest. While the left exit does have a resupply cabinet, it also has a ramp nearby leading straight to the exit doors, making it very vulnerable to enemy fire, especially projectiles when the door is open.
• The Canyon: A long, narrow and straight trench that cuts through the battleground and leads right to the backdoor of Control Point A and Tunnel Entrances. It tends to attract Snipers of both teams.
• Left Exit Shed: Beside the exit sits a shed with a ladder to the roof. Inside contains a large health and ammo kit. The path leads straight to Control Point A's front door, making it a highly contested area.
• Right Exit Shed: Beside the exit sits a shed that contains a large health and ammo kit, this one however has two doors. The path leads into the Canyons exit point.
