    I just tried making a personal canvas map for each of the Noble Maps (haha, probably something to do with my pride in seeing my name next to the canvas map everytime I want to forge a map) and I almost deleted all the objects on Breakpoint except for two: a sniper (human) and a spartan laser. I deleted the spartan laser in back of the first invasion phase generator and I deleted two of the three snipers: one right below a bridge and the other in the subway tunnel. I just can't seem to find the second spartan laser and the third sniper on that map. Does anyone know where the default spawn for these weapons are and if I need to be forging on a certain gametype?

    Can't you just spawn the objects, hit b, then hit delete all? I haven't purchased Noble Map Pack, so I can't say I'm sure this still works.

    The sniper is down on a ledge near the center in phase 2. or one of them is...
    Use Partick's method either way.

    I tried doing this for Tempest and for some objects, weapons specifically, it wouldn't work.

    You would have to find one of the same kind of object defaultly on the map and do the "Delete All" from that item. It was weird, almost like OLN objects from Sandbox.

    The problem is something to do with gametype labels. It was a ***** when I made canvases for myself, but a boon when looking for items with debug gametype labels (things like "TELEPORTER", "CINEMA_TEST", and "INVASION_SLAYER"*).

    * The right label is "INV_SLAYER". "INVASION_SLAYER" items do not correspond to any usable/known gametype and hence are only visible in Basic Editing -- but still take up object counts and budget. "INVASION_SLAYER" weapons can be found on Boneyard and Spire.

    EDIT: Speaking of which, make your canvas in Basic Editing. They probably left some items with debug labels in when they were making the Noble maps, and you'll only be able to find such items in Basic Editing.

    Ha you found those 2 hidden dmr's, but NOT the laser and one of the snipers?

    Thats kind of funny to me considering how much more difficult it was to find a couple of dmr's compared to the laser and the snipers. I can't remember where they were located, but I remember I didn't have trouble locating those.

    It took me like an hour to find 3 dmrs and 1 assault rifle lmao!

    Two of the dmrs are placed in the craziest places ever where I know no players will hardly ever find them. I mean one is shoved back into a corner where no traffic will go through and its invisible since its in a black shadowy corner... and the other dmr is shoved way back in that icy area away from the rest of the map...

    The weapon placements on Breakpoint and Tempest as well were kinda sketchy..
