Locations

Name	Description
Mall	Named after OSPUZE CEO Sofia Petronelle, the mall is a luxurious shopping plaza located in the heart of Seoul. It is conveniently located next to the 6° Of Freedom Residence, and ISEUL-T Tower. It has five floors, with multiple shops, an indoor garden/plaza, a central elevator and two escalators, and rooftop access to 6° Of Freedom Residence via a zipline. The entire roof the the mall is composed of windows that can be broken.
ISEUL-T Tower	The ISEUL-T Tower stands in the middle of Seoul, far above the rest of the arena. It features large LED screens displaying in-universe advertisements, and is inaccessible to contestants. The Under Construction arena variant reverts the tower to still being under construction and allows contestants to access it via arena jump pads, changing the dynamic of the match. When this variant is active, a second crane is present in the construction site, providing another vantage point over the arena.
Apartments	The apartment block is located next to the mall. It is a five story apartment complex with many rooms, and an open air courtyard design with a central walkway going between the courtyard on each floor. Behind the complex is a semi-walled off garden/plaza area with raiseable walls. A zipline in this plaza provides direct access to the mall, and a Jump Pad allows contestants to traverse across a gap to the Hospital.
Hospital	The hospital is a multi-building complex and is the largest building in the arena. It is separated into two distinct buildings, connected via a destructible skyway. The building on the bottom most part of the complex is made up of operating rooms, a open air lobby area, two elevators, and a helipad on the roof. The upper portion of the complex is mainly made up of in-patient rooms, a cafeteria, and a single elevator. The outside portion of the upper complex has a garden/patio area, and an attached crane on the side of the building.
Data Center	This multi-storied building is part electrical station, garden, and is advertisement focused. On the bottom floor, closest to the mall, there is a large utilities room that runs down the entire bottom floor of the building. The southern most section of the building is only one floor, as above it is an open-air garden, and entries to the roof and second floor. The second floor is mostly open air, with an overview onto the first floor on the northern side of the building, and a catwalk that can access the third floor that leads to the roof. On the roof are several HVAC systems, and a giant billboard displaying in-universe advertisements.
