The four named locations

The official store description names Downtown, Suburbs, The Trenches and Chicago Mall. It describes a mix of street fighting and indoor combat, with different routes and positions to learn. These are the four locations explicitly identified by the developer on the store page.

This guide is an orientation aid. We have not published a verified overhead layout, spawn chart or objective-location map. Screenshots illustrate the game; a visually similar street should not be treated as proof of a particular map name.

  • Downtown
  • Suburbs
  • The Trenches
  • Chicago Mall

Learn one route before the whole map

Our suggested first exercise is to select a map in a custom match and follow the same short route several times. Notice a starting landmark, a change in elevation or direction, and a place where the route opens into a larger area. Use the names that make sense to your group.

Once that route is familiar, find an alternative way to reach the same destination. Comparing two routes helps you recognize the choices you have during a real match. It is more useful than trying to memorize every corner in a single session.

Connect your route to the mode

The same space can ask different things of you. In Turf War, think about reaching and holding territory. In Hit A Lick, learn the return journey as well as the approach. In Destroy The Block, consider the value of arriving safely with your one life intact.

For Chain Snatch, look at the approach to a dropped chain and what you can see from it. For the kill-count modes, compare where you feel comfortable taking a fight with where you repeatedly lose track of opponents. These are practice prompts, not claims about fixed optimal routes.

Keep a small map notebook

After a session, write three short observations: one landmark you recognized, one route you want to repeat and one place where you were surprised. If you play with friends, agree on simple labels together rather than assuming everyone knows the same callouts.

Revisit those observations after a game update. A guide should describe the version you are actually playing. When the official description does not establish a layout detail, check it in your own match before treating it as a reliable reference.
