Train Depot is a multiplayer map introduced in the 8.0.0 update. It was added to the game along with Sniper Forts, which it used to share background music with.
Appearance[]
A train station with idle trains and trams, and a city surrounding the station. There are billboards on the walls saying the best weapons for the map. Train tracks are deformed and arranged oddly, while tram lines are cut from the trams and are dangling like ropes. On buildings are also ladders that you can climb to get to the billboards and higher ground.
Strategies[]
- This is mostly a long ranged map, so pick off users from long range.
- In close range, use flamethrowers, or area damage Melee weapons.
- When equipping accessories try to get some jump height to get to the highest part of the map since gadgets like Jetpack are disabled.
- Rocket jump to the top since you need to get the high place to gain advantage.
- In Team Strike, try to reach the roof on the first round to test your enemies out and have a basic knowledge of their skill level and loadout.
- If you think you can beat them in direct combat, then try to reach the roof first at the start of every round so as to give you the advantage of being able to attack while your enemies are reaching towards you, as well as giving you a height advantage, which makes dealing with enemies on the ground easier.
- If you think that you are outmatched on the open, then retreat to the tunnel and hide behind the crates while being on your guard constantly. Equip your weapon with the highest damage per shot and wait for your opponents to come in, then give an unexpected attack immediately when you see them.
- If the opponent doesn't die immediately, use a Shotgun/Flamethrower/Melee weapon to mess up his aim, and then eliminate him quickly using the element of surprise.
- It is very essential that your crippling shot cannot miss, as it plays a major part in determining the outcome of the conflict.
- Bringing a weapon with X-ray Vision can help with the ambush, as it can make you prepared for the appearance of your enemy, therefore increasing the probability of victory.
- If the opponent doesn't die immediately, use a Shotgun/Flamethrower/Melee weapon to mess up his aim, and then eliminate him quickly using the element of surprise.
Trivia[]
- It is based on the Counter Strike map, de_train.
- There are some billboards on the roofs that are advertising recommended guns.
- One of these weapons includes the AK-48 Up2.
- There could be a possibility that the city this train station is in has martial law established, and anarchy is spreading through the city. Graffiti is on the wall, the depot is trashed, and military vehicles can be seen.
- The map has been removed in the 10.3.0 update as part of the removal of "unpopular maps". However it was added back in in the 12.2.0 update, found in 3x3 Brawl.
- In the 12.5.3 update, in the Map Selection, the letters of this map's name became lowercased, except its initials (Train Depot Train Depot).
- The red train car in the train station is used to store toxic waste (aesthetically), since on its side, it says "TOXIC WASTE".
- It shares the same background music as the team fight map, Train Robbery.
