Gullywash is a map created by Arnold. The map was first posted to the TF2Maps.Net forums on April 9, 2009 and was promptly included in ETF2L 6v6 Season 6 later that year. The map has been a staple in the competitive 6v6 scene since then, and was officially added to the game on October 13 2011.

Gullywash is well-known for its more closed design; featuring only two entrances (choke and big door) to its middle point as opposed to the more popular three entrances. This can often lead to more stalemates and slower play around the second point. In contrast, Gullywash is notorious for its relatively fast-capping last point featuring a flank route underneath the point known as "water".

History

Gullywash has been a staple in the competitive community since its debut in 2009; being very popular in organized tournaments as well as pickup games. It is one of very few maps to have only been dropped from the map pool once (in Oceania for OWL 5). In 2020, the Refresh.tf project began working on Gullywash and released versions of the map with many minor fixes that made it more suited for competitive play. These fixed versions have since been adopted by the community in preference to the official version.

Map information

Gullywash has one of the shortest last point capture times in the competitive map pool, at 3.8 seconds with x1 multiplier. This, combined with the flank routes below and beside the point (water and secret), make Gullywash prone to round-winning backcaps.

Trivia

• The callout "water" was named due to the area being filled with water in previous versions of the map
• The callout "river" was named due to a river being outside the windows in the area in previous versions of the map. Additionally, it "leads to water".
• The original name for Gullywash was cp_worselands.
