Bends

Bends is an asymmetrical map that is great for all gametypes. It is essentially an "L" shape, but with a small hallway acting as a shortcut through the middle. Beware of this hallway though, as a well placed grenade always interacts violently with fusion cores.

The Attackers start out in a small, custom-made base with a Bubble Shield and a Brute Shot facing out towards the middle where there is a Rocket Launcher and a Needler waiting to aid them in their killing. To the left of the Attacking base is the deadly hall, but next to the hall's entrance is a set of stairs leading up to a catwalk where players will find, not only, yet another path to the Defenders base, but also a Battle Rifle and more fusion cores.

The Defenders start out in one of the pre-fabricated Foundry bases. But the first thing they will notice is that this base has been drastically changed. In the base they will find a Sniper Rifle and a Power Drainer, as well as plenty of places to safely spy on any Defenders that choose to traverse the semi-open middle ground.

One of the Entrances to Defenders Base​

Although the middle of Bends is fairly open, it does contain a large structure. Players can choose to stay on the ground floor of this structure, where a shotgun and a small room with Shield Doors can be found. But, as they climb the structure, they may find a hidden Needler, or, even higher up, is the hard to reach Rocket Launcher. But a small warning to anyone looking for the Rockets, again, there are plenty of fusion cores, and if an enemy picked up the portable Grav Lift that spawns below the Rocket Launcher, you might come face to face with opposition.

I made this map before I fully understood interlocking pieces. But I assure you it plays great.

As far as weapon holders, I only used them where I thought it was benificial to display the weapon, such as making sure it is obvious where the Rocket Launcher is. Altough I did use about three Weapons Holders, the majority of weapons have a traditional on the floor or leaning against a wall placement. And, frankly, since only one of the pics shows a Weapon Holder, I'm not sure where you got the impression that I used a lot.

 

I guess I kinda made the mistake of trying to get action in all of the pictures instead of just showing off the map.

But, to be honest, the map pretty much is just an Attackers Base, a Middle Structure, and a Defenders Base, all of which are pictured.
