POWERHOUSE
Note: Weapon locations are bound to change throughout the Beta and there are variations based on the game you are playing (for instance, in Juggernaut, the Gravity Hammer does not appear). Each map features location names that you can read in the lower left of the screen, under the radar. We've used these convenient titles to identify important locations below.
Every multiplayer beta needs a classic all-purpose map, and this is it. Powerhouse is a ton of fun, and it'll probably end up being a fan favorite. It's based on a hydroelectric plant, and there's something for everyone here: lofty heights, tight corridors, sneaky spillways, deadly inclines and more. Jet Packers will have a blast on Powerhouse because the sight lines are tricky, and it's easy to get the jump on people fighting below you, clueless. Like all the Reach beta maps, it's a real looker, and the water effects are a nice touch. Speaking of water, make sure you poke around at the bottom of the dam. There's a rocket launcher down there that's perfect for swatting people out of the sky.
The weapon everyone will be sprinting (or jetpacking) for on the Powerhouse map is the Rocket Launcher. Propped up against a wall in the narrow spillway (right under the bridge leading out of the Powerhouse) is the uber weapon -- toss a few grenades down here at the start of a match for some easy kills.
Health Stations can be found near doors in the Office, Powerhouse (1st floor), Dormitory and in the sniping nook of the Shed.
Between the Dormitory and the Powerhouse is the Yard. Here you can find the Focus Rifle, another super powerful weapon. The Locker area has a shower that's a favorite spot for Skull-holding players to hide out. On the floor here you can find a Grenade Launcher.

Hanging around the ramps by the large gate in the Cliffside area is a shotgun. In the Shack, between the Cliffside and the central Spillway you can find a Gravity Hammer.
