Derelict is a small, symmetrical map where battle is fast and furious. The four pillars near the center of the map support a cross-shaped system of catwalks. These catwalks are accessible only by teleporter. The catwalks make excellent sniping or grenade-throwing positions, though standing still at any place on this map means inviting a swift death. | Derelict is a small, symmetrical map where battle is fast and furious.

*If one should walk into a teleporter and walk backwards as they spawn, then they should walk into a small alcove behind the teleporter. If used in conjunction with the Active Camo and Sniper Rifle, this makes for an excellent hiding/sniping spot. Just remember that if you see your screen turn white, run out of the teleporter, switch to a weapon better suited to close combat, and turn around. | *If one should walk into a teleporter and walk backwards as they spawn, then they should walk into a small alcove behind the teleporter.
