Beyond the seven base maps, Catto Pew Pew expands through the Coolest Catto DLC pack, free promotional maps like Sky Isle, and community creations from talented map makers. Understanding DLC host-share mechanics saves money for friend groups, and community maps add fresh geometry that keeps the game exciting months after launch.
Coolest Catto DLC Map Pack
The Coolest Catto DLC includes five premium maps plus access to future map additions. Purchase once and receive all current and upcoming DLC arenas — a better value than individual map purchases.
Host-share is the standout feature: if the lobby host owns Coolest Catto DLC, every player in that lobby can play on DLC maps regardless of their own purchase status. One friend buying DLC serves the entire group.
CLASSIC players who purchased the original Coolest Catto DLC can claim a thank-you bonus in the new game by providing SupportID and proof of purchase through the official Discord.
Sky Isle — Free CTF Map
Sky Isle is available free to all players specifically for Capture the Flag. Floating platforms connected by bridges create dramatic flag routes where knockback launches carriers into open sky.
Sky Isle flag runs benefit enormously from VR Monke Mode escorts who launch carriers across gaps. Flatscreen escorts use precise knockback shots to propel runners between platforms.
Learn Sky Isle callouts with your CTF group — "bridge," "lower platform," and "spawn side" communication accelerates coordination. This is the most important CTF map for free players.
Aethereal Heights by o7Moon
Aethereal Heights is a community-created map by o7Moon featuring ethereal floating architecture and complex vertical geometry. It represents the best of Catto Pew Pew's community map pipeline.
The map excels in Scramble, Race, and FFA with extensive Monke Mode routes. Multiple vertical layers create flanking opportunities invisible from ground level. Community map quality rivals official DLC arenas.
Aethereal Heights demonstrates Oakley Blade Games' commitment to featuring community creators. Watch for additional o7Moon maps in future updates promised in CLASSIC patch notes.
Remote Island and Community Pipeline
Remote Island by 07Moon is another community map carried forward from CLASSIC development. Tropical island geometry with varied elevation provides fresh visual identity distinct from industrial and urban base maps.
Community maps enter the game through developer curation rather than a public map editor at launch. Submit creations through official channels and Discord for consideration in future updates.
Map editor improvements are planned for future development cycles according to CLASSIC roadmap notes. Until then, curated community additions like Aethereal Heights and Remote Island expand the roster.
DLC Value and Purchase Decision
If your friend group plays regularly, one Coolest Catto purchase covers everyone through host-share. Coordinate who buys based on who hosts most often.
Solo players who primarily queue public matchmaking can enjoy seven base maps indefinitely without DLC. Purchase when you want variety or when your regular group lacks a DLC owner.
The DLC also signals support for ongoing development. Oakley Blade Games is a small indie studio — DLC purchases fund continued map and gamemode development.
