Secret Base is an extra large map added in the 10.4.0 update.

Appearance

The map is situated near an ocean on the bottom of a mountain. The map contains a somewhat hidden base inside a rock formation, a dock area with a crane, and two guard towers, and a landing pad with a hovercraft. The base contains a storage room, an office, a room with 3 beds, a generator inside barrier fences, a desk with computers, and maps of the world on a screen.

Strategy

• Place Turrets and throw Nuclear Grenades on the spawn of the opposing team.
• Do not use close range weapons unless in close range combat, as this is a long range map, and close range weapons may not perform very well.
• Regarding pets, equip the Arnold 3000, since it is a ranged pet.

Changelog

• 10.4.0: The map was released

• 11.0.0: The map was removed from Team Fight
• 11.2.0 The map was removed from Flag Capture making it completely removed from the game

Trivia

• The map was removed in the 11.0.0 update.
• Both computers contain the "Blue Screen of Death", an infamous error screen on a Windows computer.
• The room with the beds contain the sound of a heart beat monitor, which can also be heard in Hospital.

• The map of the world contains blips on Eastern Australia, Argentina, China, Chad or Sudan, Eastern Russia (presumably Moscow), and Midwestern United States.
  • The blip on Russia maybe a reference to the location of the Pixel Gun Company; Rostov-on-Don, Moscow, Russia.
  • If using the Demoman, a player can shoot its projectiles into the sides of the tall grey mountains and the bombs will appear on the mountains’ top corners.
  • The same goes for Toxic Bane and any other sticky mine weapon
  • This Map has returned in the 18.0.0 and can be viewed on the private server map selection. Along with Inside the Code (Map) and Science Lab and other Maps. However a patch temporarily removed this map and other returning maps temporarily, possibly for fixing, nonetheless, it was returned to the game.
  • It was offically brought back in 18.0.1, the map recieved minor modifications including, more spawn protection and a jump pad arround the hovercraft landing pad. Additionally, a small crafte lid connecting the base roof and crane was added to make it easier for players to access the two points.
