A sandstone arena with sand underfoot and wooden crates set out across it in a loose grid. Lion-head reliefs and dark green panels line the walls, an arched doorway leads out of the far side, and a gallery runs above the ring in shadow. One frame is down among the crates at eye level, another looks over the whole floor from the gallery, with spent shells and dropped guns visible on the sand.

The arena measures 1560 × 2352 × 984 map units, taller than it looks from the floor because of that upper gallery, which four ladders reach. Ten spawns per side seat 20 players. There are no bomb sites, hostages or rescue zones, and both teams have buy zones. The name sets the rules: 70 M3s, 18 XM1014s and 14 HE grenades lie on the sand, and nothing else. Geometry is 1,463 faces and just 12 textures, next to 44 in de_dust2, which is what a room of plain stone walls costs.
