| |
| Top Middle is the large area in the middle of the map which has stairs, ramps and ledges leading to all other areas of the map.

| |
| '''Level 1'''- The lowest level of the Tower is accessible from two entrances on either side of the room or a ramp descending from Level 2. The [[M45 shotgun#M45D Tactical Shotgun|shotgun]] spawns in this area.
| |
|
| |
| '''Level 2'''- Level 2 has ramps on either side leading to Top Middle and ramps leading up to Level 3. Behind a small wall near the center of the room is another plasma grenade spawn.
| |
|
| |
