Summary
Mogadishu Transit is a map based on a train station that was first introduced during the Demo phase. In the railroad station, there are two separated railroads. One is complete, while the other one is incomplete. A Trolley is located on the incomplete one.
Background Story
During the initial stages of the apocalypse, before the SANI Virus was declared as an official threat, many people passed through here.
Needless to say, some of those passengers were infected, later succumbed to their bites and took out everyone else riding with them. When the threat of the SANI Virus was later realised, Mogadishu Transit was one of the first locations quarantined and investigated.
People still break in from time to time to see if they can hitch a ride to safety. The security has long disappeared from this place, anyways.
Design
This map consists of multiple buildings that are closely arranged with access to multiple roofs. Red ladders can be easily seen from anywhere on the map to help with traversing said roofs.
There are also many locations that allow zombies to ambush survivors. The whole map is relatively open, and you often have to watch all sides to ward off any attackers.
Luckily, Ammo Stations are abundant.
Players spawn in the southwest quadrant of the map. Several railroad buildings can be seen, as well as a tunnel to the roof the building. There are also two ways to get to the railroad, via the tunnels and via the underpass.
Tips
- Memorising the locations of all the ladders within this map can help you greatly.
