This level is yet other Railgun paradise well suited for players skilled at railing on the go. The Quad Damage can be reach from the bounce can facing out into space or by Rocket Jumping on to the accelerator pad from the upper levels. The Mega Health is reached from the bounce pad in the center of the bounce pads, reaching out for this item is a tad risky, you?re serious rail bait up there. The Heavy Armor is in the middle of the bridge, all the warps on this level lead here, but keep in mind that this zone in an easy target for Railgunners camping on the Railgun platform. The Armor can be reached from the accelerator pads on the upper level; Railgun campers tend to spend more time covering the Heavy Armor so you may be able to score the Armor safely. The Railgun is tucked away on a Platform you can reach via the accelerator pad, it is pretty easy to camp this spot and snipe players from a distance, but if a player with the Shotgun makes out there with you you?re pretty much dead meat. There are two Rocket Launchers here, both on the mid level near the warps. There are two Shotguns here; both on the upper levels near the accelerator pads. Major, Sorlag, and Doom is the bot horde here, over them Major?s skills tend to shine through on the harder settings.
If you make you way out to the Railgun platform you shouldn?t have any trouble with the bots here; they are usually so busy fighting each other that they fall victim to a skilled Railgunner.
Humans will also fall victim to a skilled Railgunner, but they will certainly find ways to knock you off the platform so you need to stay moving at all times. If your aim isn?t good enough to rail on the go then stick to the Rocket Launcher and do your utmost to hold the Quad and the Heavy Armor. Even though this map is fairly open there are areas that the Railgun cannot hit from the Railgun platform, know these areas well.
