The booby trap is a time honored tradition and a favorite among Tournament viewers. Many Liandri mining facilities offer such ‘interactive’ hazards.

Map Description
A big Skaarj themed complex (in the lines of Unreal's Depths of Rrajigar) with a booby trap. There are several areas such as: Catwalk hall, Pressure hall, Pillar hall, and Escape tunnel, as well as the eponymous Pressure chamber and the water tank. The map forms an 8-like shape, with a pair of extra passages added for better connectivity.
The Catwalk hall is an area located at the west of the map, consisting of several catwalks (forming two levels of height), several boxes, a big water tank pool at the south of the area. It's connected with the Pillar area by way of two lower entrances and a small entrance at the top level; with the Escape tunnel by way of a one-way falling pit; and with the Pressure area by way of the Water tank.
Pressure hall is the area where the eponymous Pressure chamber is located. It has a catwalk going around the area, a water tank pool at the north, pillars and a bin. Aside of its Water tank connection with the Catwalk hall, it's also connected with the Pillar area by way of two lower entrances and an upper tunnel next to the Water tank.
The eponymous Pressure chamber is located at the center of this area. It has two lateral buttons which closes the chamber, pressurizing everyone who's inside of it during 4 minutes. For this to be achieved, there are several goodies inside.
The Pillar hall is a hall full of, well, pillars, acting as the hub of the level. Aside of the pillars it also features a catwalk and a sniper balcony accessible only by translocating or impactjumping.
Finally, the Escape tunnel is a Turbine-like vent connecting the Pillar hall with the Catwalk hall, starting from the upper level of the former and ending in the Water tank entrance of the latter.

Tips & tricks
- The rooms are good for Shock Rifle and Rocket Launcher and the long hallways are conducive to sniping.[1]
- Make sure you time the Armor.[1]
- If you're going for the belt or UDamage make sure there are no people nearby who might hit the white buttons on the outside of the chamber.[1]
- Camping on top of the chamber with a shock rifle is a good idea, as there's loads of health up there.[1]
Trivia
- Actually the mapper placed an Unreal razor ammo (above the shock rifle) which UT replaces with its own.
