Acrophobia

A screenshot of Acrophobia

**Acrophobia** is a Very Hard Zombie Massacre map located in the Atlantic District, Atlantia.

## Appearance

Acrophobia takes place on the roof of a skyscraper, hence its name. There is a helipad as well as multiple pathways and some vents on the roof.

### Days 1-5

Acrophobia is set on a three-floor urban rooftop.

The 1st floor is the largest of the 3 in terms of surface area, but is mostly a wide balcony surrounding the perimeter of the 2nd floor. The south end of this floor has a concrete ramp leading to the second floor as well as a large helipad. The west side has a small inset area with a locked door, an L-shaped ramp to the 2nd floor, and a tight corridor leading to the north side. The east side has an inset area like the west side, as well as a straight ramp up to the second floor in the north-east corner. The north side is for the most part a perfectly straight corridor, but has a small, open room in the middle to divide the space.

The 2nd floor is smaller than the first and has a more complex, close-quarters layout. There are five buildings on this floor; the two center buildings are enterable. The north-center building has a small rectangular interior and 3 doors facing south, west, and east. The south-center building has a larger, L-shaped interior, and two doors facing north and south. The west side of the floor is a winding corridor which leads to a balcony to the 1st floor and the north-center building. The east side is a narrow balcony that wraps around to the south and north sides. The south side connects to both the west and east sides. The north side is smaller than the rest, and is only connected to the east side. There is a central courtyard-like area on this floor with entry corridors in all 4 cardinal directions. There are also 3 balconies to the 3rd floor on the south, east, and north sides.

The 3rd floor is the smallest of the three and is set on the rooftops of the 5 buildings on the 2nd floor. The ground is mostly flat aside from some clutter and metal beams. The rooftops are connected to each other by narrow wood and metal walkways. The jib of a large crane looms above this floor, which zombies can spawn on and fall off of.

### Day 6

The boss arena on Day 6 takes place on a separate rooftop. It is square-shaped and mostly flat, aside from an elevated helipad at the center.

## Tips and Trivia

### Tips

* The Mercenary's Special Item, A.L.P.S., can not kill zombies in interiors, since the laser strikes are blocked by the ceiling.

### Trivia

* Acrophobia is a returning map from GMod Tower. The layout is completely reworked, but features many elements of the original design, such as the visual theme, multiple levels of elevation, and small interior spaces.
* Acrophobia is named after the phobia of the same name, referencing a person having an extreme or irrational fear of heights.
* Acrophobia has explicit connections to Subway from Virus, featuring the same Atlantic District signs, yellow panels, and tiled floor in the 2nd floor rooms. The map is also set on the rooftop of a hospital, which may or may not be the same one as Virus's Hospital map.
