Crash (Original)

This map is now in the official lineup as a part of the Winter 2022 Polar Distress Update. This version is still maintained as a legacy version for anyone who still wants access to the original.

It's important to note that this version of the map more closely represents my original vision/intent. However, I think you should still give the official one a try as well! I am simply offering this version as a legacy release for anyone who still wishes to try it out!

Version:

1.14

Map Size:

Medium

Supported Gametypes:

Survival, Versus Survival, Weekly Survival, Endless, Controlled Difficulty

A Horzine cargo train travelling through the English countryside has crashed at an industrial plant, starting a ZED outbreak in the area. You are a group of Horzine mercenaries dispatched to the area to dispose of the threat, secure the cargo, and eliminate the ZED leader!

Crash is my first KF2 level, made in about 1.5 months primarily as a way to learn the editor. It is designed for Endless Mode, but can be played on any gametype including VS Survival. Objective Mode support may be added at a later date. The primary feature of this map is the fiery trainwreck at the center. There are plenty of indoor and outdoor areas, and a sewer system that runs beneath the map a la Burning Paris.

There is plenty of high ground in this map, providing lots of sniping positions for Sharpshooters and vantage points for Field Medics. Watch the rooftops and vents though!

This is a revised edition of Crash, created with an all-new icy theme. I've spent a lot of time creating custom textures and materials for this version so that it really feels cold and frosty. In case you're interested, the original/legacy 'Night' version of Crash can be found here

Quick Q/A

Q: Why have you decided to fork two versions of the map? A: Simple answer: because this version of the map employs a completely different theme, and I wanted to keep the two versions separate, as some players may prefer the old theme over the new one.

Still, it should be said that this version of Crash is how I always envisioned the map to look. I also thought it would be nice to also add a little festive twist as well. After the season ends, I will remove the Christmas decorations, leaving the rest of the level intact.

Q: Which version is more up to date? A: Neither. Both this version and the Night version of Crash will be simultaneously kept up-to-date. Again, the versions differ purely in their theme(s).

Q: Do I have to unsubscribe from the other version in order to play this one? A: No. Subscribing to both will not cause any conflicts whatsosever. Feel free to subscribe to both at the same time!

Advanced Traversal

Scattered around the level, you will see painted arrows (pictured above) near ledges and drop-offs. These arrows indicate that one can utilize the Double-barreled Boomstick or the Doomstick to perform a Recoil Force Boost to reach the ledge or cross the gap. If you aren't familiar with this mechanic, I wrote an entire guide about it, which you can find here. For those who are familiar, think of it as another way to get around the map quickly.

Support mains rejoice!

Collectibles

There are 36 collectibles hidden throughout the map. Try and find them all!
