General Description
Lumberyard is a new map which released in the Heavy update. It is the first official Valve map to drop the desert-industrial style for a greener and more scenic environment. Lumberyard has an unbalanced structure, with one half of the map climbing up towards a large mountain peak, while the other dips down into a valley. A series of rooftops at the map’s center serves as the key battleground area, with lateral flanking being the key maneuver at ground level. When the capture point becomes active after 60 seconds, multiple entrances open up into the central control point, which becomes the focus of the fighting as the match nears its end. Lumberyard is one of the few Arena maps without water, and contains only a single health kit. The kit sits on a log above a deadly pit, making it a great ambush spot for Pyros, Demomen, and Soldiers to send unwary enemies to their deaths.
Introduction Video
Goal
The goal of Lumberyard is to eliminate the entire enemy team or capture the central capture point.
Locations
The Central building houses the capture point, is mostly symmetric, and has entrances either side as well as on the rooftops. The spawn rooms either side have two doors, one goes straight ahead towards the capture building, the other door heads to a smaller tower shaped building, which has a walkway leading towards the roof of the capture building, where they can enter the building through the open windows.
Common Strategies
It is common for Scouts to go on the rooftops, this helps with the element of surprise as players have trouble looking up. Engineers often set up a dispenser and sentry inside the capture building
