Inside the base, L flags are found on the first two levels, a sniper spot on the third level, and SE, MQ, CL, and ST flags on the top level. GM flags are located in front of the bases on small boxs attached to the bases. Three cones are located in the base to prevent laser ricochets from becoming out of hand. Giant pyramids can be found between the two bases along with an X shaped stucture supporting a box containing OO and 1 G flag. This is surrounded by transparent trapezoidal shaped meshes. |

These flags could only be removed by leaving the middle section. MQ flags were added on the roof. Geno was given unlimited shots, but only allowed one kill. Laser was limited to 100 kills.
