"It's hard to imagine that electricity still works in such an isolated place."

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.
    • Rotation around the map, along with knowing accessible routes, is key here.
    • To save stamina, use Mounts when necessary.
    • The Boosterpad is useful for a quick getaway, but remember that zombies can also use these devices.
    • The Bunny and Duck Mount are recommended to easily traverse this map.
  • Pay attention to your surroundings. Zombies can come from behind you, in front of you, and can evendown from above.
    • On top of that, going too far up the hills on this map will kill you.
      • Due to this, give high priority to killing Stalkers, as they might grab you and take you to this area.
    • It is recommended to stay on the high ground for this reason.
  • As of v1.0.0a, Diggers can now use their Dig ability on this map.

Trivia

  • Unlike 1930's Kingstreet, going too far up the background mountains will instantly kill you.
  • The transportation vehicle is actually a Trolley. However, it is referred to as a Tram in-game.
  • Mogadishu is the capital city of Somalia, a country in the Horn of Africa.
  • Mogadishu Transit and 1930's Kingstreet are the only maps to have specific details being reduced depending on your graphic settings.
  • The Mogadishu Transit design is slightly inspired on the famous Counter Strike map Train.
