Construction
Black Gold is set up on an oil rig in the sea. The slightly asymmetrical map features numerous containers with cover, raised platforms, and smaller passageways. The spawns of both teams face each other and are roughly connected in about three ways. Both bomb locations are in small buildings on the outer edge of the platform, with multiple entrances to enter. You can climb the roof over Bomb Site A and B Bomb Site B has a kind of second floor that can be reached from inside and outside and is adjacent to one of the raised platforms. The center of the map is defined by a curved passageway, making it difficult for snipers to secure the center.
