Map Layout
The overall layout of the Marvel Rivals Alchemax Headquarters map is built around a massive circular structure with multiple areas and points of interest. Since it is designed for Doom Match, the map is large, allowing up to 20 players to battle each other in a large-scale deathmatch game.
Central Building
The central building is where players can find Cyclops being held inside a tube-like container, teasing his iconic optic laser powers. This area is a two-story structure that is perfect for close-quarters combat. There is one health pack on the upper floor and another on the lower floor.
Because this section is an enclosed space, it works especially well for melee and mid-range burst heroes such as The Thing, Bruce Banner, Thor, Magik, and Wolverine.
If you look closely at one of the wanted-poster capsules on the upper floor, you can spot an image of Miguel O'Hara, also known as Spider-Man 2099. This could potentially tease Miguel O’Hara arriving in the future, either as a Spider-Man skin or even as a brand-new playable hero, which is definitely interesting to think about.
The doors inside the building connect directly to different sections of the outdoor areas surrounding the map.
Vice President's Office
One of the doors leads to another large enclosed two-story building filled with aquariums, known as the Vice President’s Office.
The lower floor mainly consists of a small aquarium room with a single health pack. Aside from that, there is not much of interest in this section.
However, the upper floor, which can be accessed by using the jump boost through the hole in the floor, contains several interesting easter eggs. This is also the area where players can find and talk to Moon Girl to complete the Cute, Smart, Clever achievement.
Like the central building, this section is another enclosed combat area, making it ideal for melee and mid-range heroes. If you run into powerful close-range characters such as Rogue, Captain America, or Daredevil while using a low-health long-range Duelist, it is usually better to retreat outside and fight from a safer distance.
Outdoor Garden
Exiting through the Vice President’s Office door will lead you into the outdoor garden area, where long-range characters tend to perform much better.
This is a fairly large open space filled with glass tubes and elevated floating platforms. The tubes provide excellent cover, making shoulder peeking and ranged poking strategies especially effective in this area.
Heroes such as Hawkeye, The Punisher, Black Widow, Deadpool, Elsa Bloodstone, and Adam Warlock, among other long-ranged heroes, thrive in this section thanks to their strong long-range capabilities.
There is only one health pack available in the outdoor garden area, along with another located inside a small building beneath the sky bridge.
