pl_pinecrest (826 Build) - 2026 Steam Leak Maps

pl_pinecrest is a map found within the 826 build of the 2026 Steam Depot Leak, and is the earliest rendition we have of Thunder Mountain as a Payload map. Another map, "Pinecrest," exists in the leaks, but is a Payload Race map and shares few similarities with this. This version of Thunder Mountain mainly boils down to three major changes different from modern day T.M.: 1. The Spawn for BLU on Stage 1 is completely different, and most likely temporary given the cart's very awkward starting location. 2. The second stage is almost entirely different, save for the final point area. (Also it has no first point, lol) 3. The map has very different, and maybe even more fitting, lighting. There's also a bunch of changes like a random new (old?) flank route on Stage 1 that makes the main choke a little bit less meaningful.
