Escape is a dark and gloomy map that released in v128 (March 5, 2018). It stands out to other maps by being a rare nighttime map, and for being one of the first maps added to War Brokers. It is roughly based on the movie "Escape From New York".
Layout[]
Escape is a small outdoor map. A recent update to the atmosphere made it foggy and dark, giving an apocalyptic vibe to the already destroyed city. There are two large walls, each one separating its respective base from the center part of the map. In each corner of the map there is a tall watchtower that provides a perch for snipers. Inside the left base, there is a rundown city block with smashed and bordered up buildings. On the right base, you will find an old motel and a small section of city. The center features tall buildings and a hospital, as well as some smaller buildings.
Strategies[]
Escape, much like City Point, is both a CQC and sniping map. On the ground, intense CQC battles rage and players run from one end of the map to the other. There is always a large and heated battle on the rooftop of the hospital. The team who controls the hospital roof, has the ultimate sniping advantage, but they have to defend it with their lives. The tall buildings around the hospital usually hide a sniper who is eliminating the enemy from the hospital rooftop, while others parachute onto it to engage in CQC fights. On the ground, players try to invade the enemy base to spawn kill.
Trivia[]
- This map used to have vehicles, but they were later removed, probably because the map was too cramped.
- There are blank mannequins inside of the towers, which snipers often confuse for the enemy due to their silhouette and the map's low visibility.
