Quick: Name someone whose body of work is a testament to the indomitability of the human spirit; whose strength and moral guidance informs your every decision; and who starred in one of the Police Academy movies.

Bot needs upgrading to level 2. Maybe the new wrench will help

Any idea what the wrench does or is it just a reskin? Also, who is this Watchmaker? Had something to do with the wrench.

Looks incredibly small for PLR. Maybe a KoTH style PLR, similar length, similar elevator mechanic.

Watchmaker is the guy who made that skin for the wrench. Valve is making it official, similar to what they did with the Equalizer during the WAR Update. Its stats are unknown - not even Watchmaker knows them, but it's supposed to be for offensive Engineering.

Also, just so people don't ask, Hightower is NOT Dario's map.

Half a Lambert is better than one.

I'm surprised I haven't seen a custom single-stage PLR map yet. There probably are some, but none good or popular enough that I've heard of them yet. (I'm not counting Emergency because (A) the guy who made it refuses to acknowledge it as a PLR map, and (B) it sucks.)

The reason why single stage PLR have never been made is the game mode's lack of time limits, which is problematic in a large map, and the lack of control points to control "add/subtract time" As a community, we couldnt do this before. Valve has just found a clever walkaround by making this lift at the end.

For all we know Upward could be a cramped single stage payload. Maybe (hopefully) Valve are just hiding the other 2 stages to this PLR map, or hiding the previous tracks making it a Badwater style PLR map o_O

Huh, they must've added that after the main page went up. Link is to the right-hand side of the big map.

Of course, on Opera, I just use Control-J and I see all the links ;)

And on everything else, we have Tab. :p

Beat me to the news. Portable sentry is good. Or I just wish they'd upgrade the sentry and make it movable!
