    Map Description

    How the game is played

    This map is basically a chaotic mini game. This map supports only 4 players and each player is equipped with a Gravity Hammer that does no damage, but is a great tool for knocking opposing players into the pit (crater).

    The game consist of 3 rounds with each character only having 1 live so it is elmination and every time you knock a player into the pit you score 1 point. The player with the most points wins.

    Map Layout:

    The map is basically a ring with 4 bridges leading up to a platform in the center that has a Custom powerup on it. If you decide to go out on the bridges I wish you luck because the shrapnel from the fusion coial and propane tanks CAN hurt you but it is sometimes worth it to get that powerup!

    Equipment on Map:

    The map also has some equipment and powerups to help you in the match. in each corner there is a powerup,these spawn 30 seconds into the game. These include,

    x2 Deployable Cover (great for blocking players paths.
    x1 Bubble Sheild
    x1 Flare

    On top of that there is one custom power up in the center of the map that spawns after 45 seconds. The powerup lasts for 30 seconds and makes you move 50% faster and the ability to do damage (25%) Once the powerup is picked up the player turns gold and it is suggested that players team up on this character so that they don't die.

    Tips

    1. In the unlikely event that you get propelled out of the arena, go find a teleporter to knock you back in.
    2. Take advantage of the opposing players and use there swings to propell you to where you want to go. (ex. Behind the player for a quick assasination or the other side of the ring)
    3. Use the deployable covers to block players paths.
    4. Use flare to blind opposing players while you run away or force them into the pit.
    5. Make sure that you team up with other players to kill the person who picks up the power up because remember, they are faster and they can do damage!
    6. Time your attacks.
    7. Remember you can use the Gravity hammer to make yourself Jump Higher so hit the floor and jump to propell yourself to the other side of your opponent.
    8. Do not just run in blind, have a strategy and never just button mash.
    9. Try forcing other players onto the bridge while you remain safe behind a Sheild door or a bubble sheild.
    10. Have fun!

    Simply, put 4 players work best. If you dont have 4 it wont be as much fun. I tried having more players but it was just Assasination again, and again. This way it is just as chaotic and adrenaline rushing and you can comfortably watch your back instead of having almost no chance at all.
