The “Atrium” area (the building in the upper right corner, indicated with a 3) is a long, lean and overgrown two-story hallway with a catwalk that connects to the Pump Station, a three story building with catwalks that exit to the Interior Base (again in the lower right corner) and second level walkways to the shotgun (where the [[Z-4190 bubble shield|bubble shield]] is located). From the shotgun spawn, if players head to the right after coming from the Pump Station, they’ll be able to stay on a path that feeds down to the [[overshield]] and there’s a second level walkway overhead housing the [[M41 SPNKR|rocket launcher]] and [[grenade]]s. Directly to the left and under the [[Type-1 plasma grenade|plasma grenades]] that spawn near the Rocket Launcher is a tunnel that curves behind and empties almost into the area where the number 2 camera was taken. | ||
