Trivia[]

  • According to the game files, the original name planned for this map was "Dust City".
  • Siege Type Phobos will advance straight to your base instead of having to be provoked to do so. Moreover, he appears more than once, just like Oberon.
  • In this map, Light Zombies are able to jump as high as the Sting Finger. Moreover Sting Fingers have normal jump height unlike in City of Damned, they instead use Tentacles skill.
  • Ganymedes appear in a dark-blue colored skin. 
  • Once Angra appeared, it will fly to the player's shelter to throw some Venom Guards and special zombie types, which come in a dark-blue colored skin, until it reaches outside the map, specifically near the truck which blocks the way where he lands on. This means you can only see him but not face him.
  • In this map, Venom Guard doesn't give you money after killing him. Only the grenade type does.
  • Sometimes the zombies will get stuck at their spawn zones, blocked by the Juggernaut.
  • Juggernauts initially appear in a green colored skin. They will change to a dark blue one in later rounds.
  • This is the second map in Counter-Strike Online to feature a moving cloud after Illusion.
  • This map cannot be played in Zombie Shelter: Team Match.
