Overview
A complete overview of all the maps that are available in Nuclear Dawn.
Downtown
Downtown is based on New York. Visitors will find themselves admiring large swathes of neglect and devastation, as the abandonment and years of urban warfare decimated the once densely clustered skyscrapers. Players that shy away from open, brutal combat will enjoy Downtown’s conveniently located sniping and vantage points. If you’re not afraid of large environments that require concentration and skilful deployment of resources, then Downtown is the map for you.
This map was part of the initial beta testing.
Metro
Metro is based on Tokyo with its skyscrapers and intricate, layered architecture. The level’s seemingly small size and simple layout will soon disillusion commanders unable to take vertical combat into account, as close quarters combat devolves into slaughter from vantage points and underground metro station passages.

Clocktower
Clocktower is an extensive level based on London. Wide avenues and long distances will tax Commanders to provide cover and support for their soldiers, all the while monitoring a multitude of routes to spot incoming attacks. Soldiers, for their part, will have to learn to make use of what cover the streets provide, lest they fall prey to long-range weapons.
Oasis
Oasis is set amongst the broken buildings of Dubai’s shining high rise tributes to power and riches. As the only hospitable location in the entire desert region, its streets are hotly contested, but show no mercy to the unwary soldiers and commanders that ignore the honeycomb of passages and routes in and around all major resource points.
Silo
Silo is a map which lies in a snowy valley, inspired by Syrdakh. Its cold, dark and gritty atmosphere suits the gameplay that will have players and commanders alike on edge, as the buildings themselves are teeming with enemies. Learn to step off the beaten path, and take the fight to your enemies through warehouses and side streets, or die.
Hydro
Hydro hails from the wasteland of former Soviet Russia. Already a giant industrial complex before any of the events that led to the Nuclear Dawn, this once-idyllic dam is now the stage for some of the most intense combat action of the late twenty-first century. The sprawling complex at the feet of the Vyksa dam is not for the faint of heart. Its extremely varied combat conditions require quick reflexes and an ability to completely overhaul strategic planning that escapes most commanders.
Oilfield
Oilfield, a tangle of oil pipes, highway roads, and warring factions, takes place in a semi-rocky desert region. Housing an airfield and many hangars, this massive complex is essentially a commander’s dream: limitless exploration and conquest galore!
Oilfield forces players to adopt different strategies and to play differently than in any others map because of the very large space. Commanders have a wide variety of strategic choises while playing in Oilfield.
Gate
Relive the brutal intensity of Blitzkrieg in this fast-paced, close combat interpretation of the city that once housed a Wall. Conquer the dizzying heights, or be ushered through the Gate to your next life. The choice is yours, soldier.
