Armor

With a moderate stock of armaments this map is well designed for FFA games. This level is large enough that you should be able to easily hide from a Quad empowered player but keep in mind that its dominance is always key to controlling a map, the Quad is located at the end of the gargoyle statues near the Railgun. The open area near the Quad makes it slightly harder to camp, hang around too often and you may become Railgun bait. In the pit of lava below the Quad and the Railgun you?ll find a passage to a warp gate, the Mega Health is behind this gate. Armor is also in abundance here; there are three units of Armor, one at the base of the lava pit, another near the Rocket Launcher away from the bridge, and the final one at the top of the bounce pad near the Rocket Launcher by the bridge. This combined with the Heavy Armor in the pit by the Rocket Launcher at the bridge makes it impossible to hoard armor here. To get in this pit press the button at the top of the bridge, once down there you can score a lot of health and ammo! There are two Rocket Launchers here as well, the first is at the top of the bridge and the second is in the area near the exit of the Heavy Armor pit. The Railgun is before the bounce pad leading the Quad. The Plasma Gun can be found after you pop through the warp gate, hang on to this bad boy and get slaughter happy with it once you nab the Quad. The Shotgun is with the Armor on top of the bounce pad near the bridge. All in all this is a well-equipped map with tons of defense and offense generating items.

In the single player game you?ll fight a collection of fierce bots, Daemia, Wrack, Grunt, and Slash compose the bot horde. Typically the ladies will dominate but Grunt does climb up there as well. Against the bots you have one strong advantage, they lack the brains to open the pit that leads to the Heavy Armor, so you should be able to keep the Heavy Armor on your side perpetually. The bots tend to swarm near the Quad and near the Rocket Launcher at the Heavy Armor pit exit. Blanket these areas with rockets and plasma to beat this posse down.

Human opponents will get the Heavy Armor and any other item they can put their paws on, do your utmost to keep the armor flowing with you. Despite its visibility human players tend to overlook the Mega Health behind the warp, keep this in mind and frequent this area. Typically human players will flock to the Rocket Launchers and armor items throughout the level, keep this in mind and centralize yourself at the Quad as often as possible. Any level with the Quad present requires its application for control of the level.
