Summary
New Bloxcoast is a remade map from Resurrection's version. Back then, it was called Bloxcoast. This is a Survival map, and the objective is to survive long enough to get into the escape helicopter.
The city presumably was hit by the zombie outbreak, quarantined from the rest of civilisation. The only two ways out are destroyed; the collapsed tunnel and the collapsed bridge. The map features several buildings which you can enter, in which most hold supplies for the survivors. The map also features a construction site, in which you can drive a bulldozer in the streets. The gas station also holds a gas tank, which if shot, explodes and kills any nearby players or AI Zombies.
As soon as you spawn, the Survival timer starts ticking down from 5 minutes. Once the 5 minutes are up, the helicopter arrives and has a waiting time of 2 minutes before it flies off. Which takes 7 minutes in total.
The main building the helicopter arrives at is the tallest one in the city and is north of where you spawn. Taking the elevator sometimes results in it glitching, so try to take the stairs.
Background Story
New Bloxcoast was a relatively calm and quiet city located on the Eastern Seaboard prior to the infection. Mainly used by corporations to house their skyscrapers, the main inhabitants were white-collar workers with families to feed and friends to greet. Things seemed to be going well in this capitalistic utopia until the infection struck.
Many rumors came and went, but all fell short against the one surrounding a mysterious corporation whose towering white skyscraper used for medical research stood tall as the main pillar of attention in a bustling city. Outsiders began to question the corporation's presence in the city and accused them of contributing to the outbreak which had quickly ravaged all of America and the rest of the world soon after.
Shortly after the situation died down, the city became a ghost town of sorts as the only method of escape was blown to smithereens by a military cleanup crew sent in to contain the outbreak. There were attempts to rebuild after military checkpoints were set up nearby, but none came to fruition as those involved with said projects reported feeling uneasy whenever they came around the mysterious corporate office building.
God knows what research they were doing in there.
Design
This is a map set in a city, which holds several large buildings, mainly the office buildings that holds a helipad, and several floors. The main building has an elevator and 8 floors, with the top one having a helipad, in which your rescue will arrive at. There is the main skyscraper where the helicopter will land if the game mode is on Survival. Other decoration buildings that are blue, orange and grey, some of them are enter-able, populate the city. There is a gas station where a supply box can be found, as well as the explosive gas tank. A construction site is also visible.
The main building's helipad can be entered through 3 different ways: the main ladder near the elevator (through the staircase), the second ladder (through the billboard) and the elevator.
