Additionally, new Jump Pads are also present in the map, being situated near the three Aether Reactors that allow for fast travel between them and their respective defense sites. The map introduces Aether Reactors, three separate devices at key locations within the base that act as the new Power Switch, as well as Assault Waves, tower defense-like waves that task players with protecting the reactors from massive surges of the undead. The map is divided into two major sections: the village that acts as a private barracks for Omega Group scientists, and Outpost 25, a large firebase built on the former site of Firebase Ripcord that serves as Omega Group's primary research center for Dark Aether mining and R&D, with both areas being connected by a teleporter.

Firebase Z takes place at Outpost 25, an Omega Group research facility in the jungles of Vietnam that has provided the organization with countless Dark Aether-powered technologies and armaments as a result of their extensive Dark Aether research from the facility's on-site dimensional rift.
