Vertigo is the Counter-Strike map set on top of a construction-site skyscraper.
Vertigo is a bomb-defusal map built around an unfinished high-rise. Players fight across exposed floors, narrow routes, and construction areas with dangerous drops surrounding the playable space.
The unusual vertical setting distinguishes Vertigo from maps based in tunnels, warehouses, or traditional ground-level compounds. Its layout has changed substantially across Counter-Strike versions, but the skyscraper construction theme remains central.
Vertigo is sometimes confused with Nuke because both maps use industrial architecture and multiple vertical levels. Nuke is centered on a nuclear facility, whereas Vertigo’s signature setting is a building under construction.
