The First Room

Every game of Kowloon begins on the spawn roof, under the rain, among wooden planks, chain-link fences and the neon signs of the city. The players appear there with the M1911. The way into the rest of the map is a jump across to the building of the sewing room, where the first power switch and Quick Revive stand; Chole and Kunjora both place the first power switch right after that jump.
The roof has an upper part, where the game starts, and a lower part covered by a large green tarp. It holds the Pack-a-Punch Machine, a part of the Sliquifier, one of the soul lanterns of the main quest, a red phone, a red record of the song ADVIL, and the dragon statue that ends the main quest. The right zipline of the upper roof also lands here.

Pack-a-Punch Machine
Behind a low wall of the spawn roof, by the fence. It stands in the First Room; the six power switches of the map are all outside it.

The dragon statue
High above the zombie barrier of the roof. At the end of the main quest, the orb flies into its mouth, and the Satisfaction Trial fills it with the souls of the zombies killed on the roof.

The zipline
The right zipline of the upper roof, past PhD Flopper, ends on the spawn roof. It is the quick way back to the Pack-a-Punch during the main quest.
The Sliquifier part
The Magazine, the first part of the Sliquifier, lies on a table right in front of the players at the start. The other three parts and the bench are outside the First Room.
The soul lantern
One of the three paper lanterns of the soul challenge, next to the ammo crate. It only lights up once the challenge has been started at the terminal of the meteor room.
RK5
The Cold War pistol in the hands of Rychka in round 1 of the world record, next to the M1911.
A chalk drawing in the record
The world record footage shows the chalk drawing of a light machine gun on a wall of the spawn roof. From round 6 of that record, Rychka plays with the Stoner 63. No guide read for this book names a wall weapon of the spawn roof.
Side quests on the roof
The red phone on a box next to the ammo crate, which rings from round 10; the red record by the zombie barrier; a pink gong behind the half-wall, to shoot with the Sliquifier; and, on the lower part, a neon pink dragon over the pedestal of the Wunderwaffe DG-2.
Vigor Rush
The Kowloon Easter Egg Guide says that Vigor Rush, like the Pack-a-Punch, can be used during the Satisfaction Trial, which keeps the players on the spawn roof. It is the only source that places it here.
Enemies
Zombies. Godzilla, the boss of the main quest, also comes to the spawn roof during its fight, where the players take shelter behind the green tarp.
The Kowloon leaderboard keeps a single category, with a board for solo and one for co-op. Kowloon is listed with the Black Ops III custom maps and stays outside the rankings: its records earn no ranking points, but its difficulty coefficient, 6.2 in solo and 6.6 in two players, weighs its rounds in the ZFRR rating of the players who hold them. The rules of the board:
Doors closed
“Reach the highest round you can without opening any doors or barriers.”
Full rounds
“Every round must be played in full.”
No glitch
“Glitches or Exploits are NOT ALLOWED.”
Video
“Full gameplay is required.”
