Elongation is somewhat of a small, close quarters combat level, hence the presence of a [[Type-25 Brute Shot|Brute Shot]] and [[M90 shotgun|shotgun]].

*Despite the map's description of the ''Onan'' being on the other side of the planet to where the Battle of Earth is being fought, the map's skybox shows Earth with Europe and Africa facing the ship - the same locale as where Cairo Station and the [[Fleet of Sacred Consecration]] were in the battle.
