Moonbase is one of the several maps in War Brokers and was added during the 50th Moon Landing Anniversary update.

War Brokers - Fly Through - Moonbase
Moonbase is a small section of the moon, with a return rocket launch staging area near the middle, surrounded by small mountains and craters. On each side's base, there is a small Lunar Module, radar dish, and habitat. Moonbase is comparatively small as an open map, but its defining special feature is its modified jump gravity. This reduced gravity does not affect bullet mechanics or thrown objects (grenades). It only affects the player models when deceased players are in rag-doll mode, and the speed and height of the player's jumps, with the player rising higher and falling much slower than normal.
Strategies[]
Moonbase is a diverse map, which can be dominated by a skilled sniper. The slow gravity gives them extra time to hit players mid-air, meaning jumping in Moonbase should be kept to a minimum. Unnecessary jumping may lead to getting killed by a sniper. The mountains flanking the space station are the perfect cover for snipers, offering high ground and great field of view across the map. Other positions include the tall towers at the center of the map. Players may also hide in the pit found in the middle of the map. Past the mountains are wide open areas dotted with craters and dunes, which can be useful for both snipers and flankers, because of the large open space and isolated location.
When spawning, a player is allowed 10 seconds of spawn protection immunity, which means that the players cannot be damaged during this time. All players should beware of this, camping the enemy base can be dangerous while there is spawn protection on the enemy players.

Trivia[]
- This is the only map with a special effect that alters gravity.
- There are 2 Easter Eggs on this map: the first is a black monolith in the excavation in the center, a reference to Space Odyssey, and the second is a visible 'flat earth' when viewing the sky.
- This is one of a few maps without any vehicles that include the use of BGMs and Airstrikes.
