"Escaping from the slaughter at the London under ground, DJ Scully informed his new friends of the annual abandoned asylum party he was billed to perform at. The fact that so many unsuspecting people could fall victim to the specimen threat was enough to convince the team to move in on the location and search for survivors."
Bedlam is an abandoned asylum that once played host to the 'Disco Death March', but is now an empty hulk. The map overview displays that DJ Scully from the Outbreak character pack performed here; however, the attendance was butchered due to various specimens that now reside within. Scully's decision to join the squad, as based on his biography, may have been a reference to this.

[edit] Map layout
Bedlam is one of the most confusing official maps, so unless you know your way around, it can easily lead you to become separated and lost. The narrow corridors and overall darkness make it easy for specimens to trap you. However, a skilled player can learn safe routes through the maze, bottleneck specimens into tight corridors and take them out with a volley of well placed shots.

[edit] Defensive positions
- The least safe areas are probably the pool, the courtyard with the tree, and the multi-storey room with light-blue walls.
- Just to the left of the spawn point is an L-shaped corridor. When holding out at the corner, Sharpshooters can cover a long corridor in one direction. In the other direction, a shorter corridor leads back to the spawn room, and is ideal for Support specialists, Firebugs and Demolitions. A Field medic in the corner can easily heal players in both directions and offer extra firepower when needed.
- Any of the rectangular staircases offer a choke point that is suitable for Support specialists. At the top of each staircase is at least one weldable door. In the darker staircases, the shotgun's flashlight helps eliminate visibility problems. One of the staircases is close to the spawn point, another is connected to the courtyard balcony, and the last is left of the trader closest to the tree (when facing the trader from outside).
[edit] Tactics
- Demolitions may be at a disadvantage as the poor lighting gives little room for smoke, and the tight spaces make it harder to avoid self-inflicted damage.
- Increasing the gamma setting can improve visibility in the darker areas.
