Points of Interest
Named after OSPUZE's esteemed CEO Sofia Petronelle, it is a luxurious shopping plaza located right in the heart of Seoul. It is conviently located right next to the 6° Of Freedom Residence, and Iseul-t Tower. It has five floors, with multiple shops, a indoor garden/plaza, a central elevator and two staircases, and rooftop access to 6° Of Freedom Residence via a zipline.
The tower stands in the middle of Seoul, far above the rest of the arena. It is a major building for the Urban Lifestyle Brand, Iseul-t. It is unaccessable during normal gameplay, but it can be observed to have LED screens on the sides, and a rooftop terrance. One of the map modifers reverts the tower to still being under construction and enables the contestants access to it, giving them a new tactical edge over the other teams.
This apartment block is located right next to Petronelle Plaza, it is a five story apartment complex with multiple apartments, and a 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.
Hospital
This multi-building complex is the largest building in the arena. Seperated 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 outside garden/patio area, and a attached crane on the side of the building.
