==Universe and lore==
Breakneck is set in the [[city]] of [[New Mombasa]], in a part of the [[New Mombasa Docks|docks]] known as [[Section 21]], which closely resembles the [[Section 14]] featured in Headlong. The area is lined by buildings on all but one side, which opens up to the sea with a view of a structure resembling the [[Uplift Nature Reserve]] and the [[New Mombasa city center|city center]]. The playable area is dominated by a [[New Branch Construction|New Branch construction site]], a [[Unidentified hotel|hotel]] and an elevated road under construction.

New Mombasa's [[Superintendent]] is seemingly connected to the area as it's avatar can be seen on many parts of the map. The advertisement for the civilian [[Hog]] still appears on this map.

==Trivia==
*The location of the map in New Mombasa, Section 21, is a reference to [[Section 14]], the setting of ''Headlong''. Both are also [[Seven|7 references]], as 14 and 21 are consecutive multiples of 7.
*On the southern sea wall of the map, [[Original map screenshot Easter egg|a screenshot of ''Headlong'']] can be found.
*The placement of the map in New Mombasa appears to be inconsistent with the city's ''Halo 3: ODST'' incarnation. Assuming the locations of the city's landmarks, such as the bridge of the Uplift Reserve, are consistent with ''ODST'', the map should be situated near the southernmost main section of the Reserve. No skyscrapers or streets are present in the area in ''ODST''.<ref>[[:File:Uplift rings.jpg]]</ref> In addition, according to the player's HUD compass, the city center and the Mombasa tether are situated to the south and southwest of the map, respectively. Based on the way the city is presented in ''ODST'', the aforementioned landmarks would be located to the north and northwest of the Uplift Reserve and thus the map's playable area.
*The monument that resembles the [[Seventh Column]] near the water has noticeably changed since ''Halo 2''. This is because the symbol is [[Bungie]]'s registered trademark.
