Overview
Stella Montis is a large, two-level indoor research facility featuring diverse interconnected areas and extensive vertical traversal opportunities. The facility's vast scale hints at some grand intent, with multiple zones ranging from tight corridors to expansive open areas. Some sections lack roofing, allowing snow to drift down into the interior spaces, creating a unique atmosphere while maintaining the indoor tactical gameplay.
⚠️ High Difficulty Environment
Stella Montis presents a significant challenge with its Extreme difficulty rating. This two-level indoor facility requires experienced Raiders with optimized loadouts. The map also features Night Raid mode, increasing the difficulty even further for those seeking extreme challenges.
Map Layout & Structure
Stella Montis is positioned north of the Rust Belt region, featuring a dramatically different environment from other maps as a fully indoor two-level facility:
- Two-Level Design: Upper and lower floors with multiple points of vertical traversal between them
- Diverse Areas: Multiple distinct zones throughout the facility, each with unique layouts
- Indoor CQC Focus: Complex interior spaces with varied sightlines and engagement distances
- Open-Air Sections: Some areas lack roofing, allowing snow to fall through while maintaining indoor gameplay
- Sealed Sections: Many areas appear to have been deliberately sealed, adding mystery to exploration

Tactical Considerations
As a high-difficulty map, Stella Montis demands respect and preparation:
- Gear Up: Come prepared with your best equipment (or not, to avoid loosing it) and loadouts for high-intensity indoor combat
- Vertical Awareness: Master the two-level layout and control key vertical traversal points
- Area Control: Multiple distinct zones offer opportunities for strategic positioning and rotation
- Close-Quarters Combat: Indoor facility design means expect frequent CQC engagements with limited long sightlines
- Sound Management: Indoor acoustics make audio cues critical for tracking enemy movement
- Night Raids: For the ultimate challenge, Night Raid mode is available on this map
Loot & Rewards
Contains immensly good loot! Example: Magnetic Accelerators and Complex Gun Parts sometimes spawn on top of lables as loose loot! Be ready to fight for it though! The sealed sections of the facility may hold particularly rare items for Raiders willing to venture deep into its mysteries.
