“Midnight Highway. A lone checkpoint glares under harsh spotlights in the dead desert night. Your cargo: stolen military-grade cyberware, glowing under blacklight and illegal in every jurisdiction. Scanners, drones, and armed guards lie in wait, and one slip could turn the asphalt into a death trap. Succeed, and the payoff will be worth every risk. Move fast, stay unseen, and get it across.”
Hey all! This desert checkpoint battle map might be hitting your screens a little late this month—but trust me, it’s worth the wait.
Here, the heat is on and the stakes are higher than ever. Players feel that pulse of urgency the moment they hit the highway. Maybe they’re smuggling illegal cyberware, racing to cross into another jurisdiction to survive, or dodging lethal threats. Or flip the perspective: they’re law enforcement, tipped off about a convoy hauling military-grade arms. Can they stop it before disaster strikes?
This map is packed with tense, high-stakes possibilities—but the following variants crank the excitement up even further:
Map Variants
Crash Explosion
A speeding vehicle careens off the highway, smashing into crates in the desert with a massive explosion. Perfect for a chaotic distraction… or total chaos.
The Convoy
Two massive container trucks grind to a halt at the checkpoint. What follows is almost guaranteed to be a firefight that could shake the desert sands.
Fortified Checkpoint
Add some teeth: an electric barbed-wire fence, stacked shipping containers, a small guard building, and even a heavy machine gun on a tripod. Intruders beware—this isn’t just a checkpoint; it’s a fortress.
High tension, fast action, and endless possibilities—this highway isn’t for the faint of heart.
Base Map (Additional)
A base version of the map with visibility under the checkpoint’s canopy. The canopy itself is provided as a .PNG file with transparency so you can overlay the roof as a separate layer using your favorite virtual tabletop (VTT) software.
