It is a vertically-focused map, with many nooks and crannies that players can exploit with their spartan abilites in order to ambush opponents or find efficient routes around the platform-heavy playing area. The focal power weapons are the [[Type-53 Plasma Caster|Plasma Caster]] and [[SRS99-S5 AM sniper rifle|Sniper Rifle]]. A [[Z-180 Scattershot|Scattershot]] and [[active camouflage]] also spawn on the map.

*An easter egg can be activated on this map which shows a sand monster devouring a mining platform in the distance. This is possibly a reference to the film [[Wikipedia:Dune (film)|Dune]]. To trigger the easter egg, the protruding platform in the center pit of the map must be broken (such as by a ground pound). This will raise two explosive cores from their cowlings on the perimeter of the map. Destroy both of these cores and watch the mining platform by the sunset.
