"Fridges and chillers hum with anticipation as you enter the butchers, packed with ice and assorted cuts of meat gleaming under the bright lights. The large attendant behind the counter nods curtly at you before returning to his tool, gritting his teeth as he seems to be working out some personal issues with his blunt blade.

You eye the large racks of flesh stabbed into hooks behind the counter, glistening and gleaming with fresh streaks of blood running down the ribs. The bounty of meat seemed almost comical in a city where people would fight over a malnourished cat.

As you weave through the shop floor, you can't help but notice the tags only have prices on them as you're left to guess what slabs of product you are getting. As you check out the kibble machines to see what's still in stock, a thin and bony member of staff pushes through the plastic flaps to toss more meat on the counter behind the large attendant. As the slim man shoulders back through, you catch the sounds of squealing from the back area. You might have dismissed it as the sounds of animals being slaughtered or machinery whirring into action, but the large attendant seems to be watching you very closely and holding his blade very tightly."

Hi guys,

Here is the first map drop of the month. It's coming in a little late as I've had some administrative things to take care of. But nonetheless, here we go - The Butcher Shop!

As a primer, I realize that with many Cyberpunk settings, real meat is hard to come by and it is reserved for the social upper-class elites, the wealthy. They get to eat the real thing while the average Joe citizen would get by with kibble (dog food-like biscuits) to obtain their protein needs, maybe supplement after with vitamins or something.

Then there are other Cyberpunk settings where meat, especially red meat, is not talked about and left to the imagination. The Ghost in the Shell universe is one example. If anyone else knows more about the GITS setting, please feel free to comment below.

With this Butcher Shop battle map, the inspiration came directly from the Cyberpunk 2077 game. A shop like this would serve as the middle man, packaging the meat and selling direct to restaurants. High-end ones.

Pro tip: Chain this map with the Chinese Restaurant Kitchen map I did a few months back. It has a "Delivery Day" variant which will tie in very nicely with the butcher shop's services.

If you're after a high-end restaurant, check out this oldie of a map that I did way back - The High-Class Restaurant. It also has a large industrial-style kitchen that would receive meat (and other ingredients) deliveries in a similar way.

I hope you guys like the map! Let me know if you do.

Map Variants

Hang Man

A near-lifeless body hangs besides the animal carcasses. Based on the wounds sustained and blood splatters on the floor, it is clear that this individual was interrogated. But why?

All Sold Out

"Business has been unusually good this week. We're all sold out. Sorry buddy, but come back next week", the butcher says while scratching at his blood-stained stubble. "It was just all one customer too. A new one. Never seen 'em here before".

Illicit Carcasses

The animal carcasses found in the cold room have been used to traffic various forms of street drugs. The butcher shop is just a front. The real business here? - "distribution".
