Dead Ahead

Description

Dead Ahead is a short map that takes place on a road bridge. It has been remade twice since its addition to the game.

Dead Ahead has the Enemies Beta modifier, which changes the appearance of some enemies, replaces some enemies with other enemies and changes stats of some enemies.

Strategy

• There is not too much space to place ground towers on Dead Ahead.
  • The Turret may take up valuable ground space with its large placement footprint.
• You cannot place towers at the start of the map.
  • This means enemies with spawning abilities, like the Dark Necromancer, can accumulate enemies before towers can attack it, if the range of your towers are short.
• There are quite a lot of cliff spots on this map, so the Sniper, Ranger and Mortar are highly recommended.
  • However, since the cliffs are relatively small, the player should be careful in order to utilize them.
• It is more likely for players to bring ground towers in this map. The Medic is a great addition as it can remove all stuns with its ability.
• As the path is quite short, towers that slow down enemies, like the Sledger, Toxic Gunner and Electroshocker, are recommended.
  • The Brawler is also a great option as it is able to knockback enemies.
  • Towers that can apply a chill effect such as the Cryomancer and Freezer can be useful as it can slightly slow down major bosses.
