Overview
Assembly Line is a Normal rated map made by Archmaestros. The map is fairly long, as well as notably having 2 long straight lines.
Design
As the name suggests, Assembly Line takes place in an assembly line. There are several pallets and concrete barriers scattered around the map. Above, there are unpainted heads hanging from the ceiling resembling the heads of various Eradicators. There are two elevated platforms - one at the start, and one nearing the end of the first straight line. Below the hanging heads, there is a large pitfall with a black path cutting through it, which leads to enormous metal gates similar to the one seen in the trailer of Endless Mode. The path goes straight from the first to the second elevated platforms, then takes a right turn before going down an S-shaped bend. Finally, the path goes straight to the metal gates.
Strategies
- The path is relatively straight in the beginning, with there really only being two spots for towers to get good coverage.
- The first spot is when the path curves from the long straight.
- The second spot is during the U-turn to the final straight.
- Due to the path's straightness, towers with
Pierce such as top path Laser Gunner work well.

Trivia
- Currently, Assembly Line is the only map with no airspace, meaning any air related powerups like Cash Crate, Health Crate, A-10 Strike, AC-130 Support, Air Strike, Raptor Storm and Recon Drone are unable to be used.
- The only power-up(s) that work on this map are the Healing Field, Damage Field, Range Field, Uber Field, Stryker Rush, and Golden Z.E.D..
- Despite having no airspace, Farms still work as a C-130 will clip from the walls of the map and drop the crates.
- Additionally, despite having no airspace, Helicopters are still able to be used. This could be a game design choice, rather than an oversight.
- This is the map that is seen in the animation at the beginning of the Endless Mode trailer.
- On the top of the map, grey hanging Eradicator heads can be seen.
- The triangular symbol on the large doors in the map is also seen on all of the Eradicators.
- This means that this map could be related to Forge industries.
