Ice Research Facility
Last checked 2026-10-28.
Ice Research Facility, according to one community layout page, is an open frozen platform tied to narrow indoor corridors. The platform has sightlines and no cover. The corridors are where the wiki says the cow can wait. Security is stronger on the pad and has to clear corners in the halls. Fandom’s page is basically one easter egg: a frozen spinning cat named Maxwell.
Areas from the wiki
Risks are qualitative. Nobody published a death heatmap.
| Area | Wiki note | Risk |
|---|---|---|
| Central ice pad | Open sightlines | You are visible |
| Indoor corridors | Narrow, cow ambush | Security must check corners |
| Outer walkway | Loop around the pad | Easy to lose a chase |
The cat
Fandom mentions a frozen spinning cat, Maxwell, as an easter egg. It does not say the cat reveals the cow, pays Cash, or spawns a chest. The note establishes an easter egg claim, not a reward or collectible objective.
What I checked
The layout comes from one community wiki. Fandom mentions the map and a frozen spinning cat, Maxwell, but does not independently describe the same floor plan. Map existence, current rotation, tactics and collectible locations are separate claims; the last three remain unconfirmed.
Questions
Is the ice map still in rotation?
The name is on Fandom and on one wiki. Current rotation is not published.
What does the cat do?
Fandom calls it an easter egg. No reward is attached in that note.
Where should Security stand?
The wiki prefers the open pad and warns about the corridors. That is one source.
