2K and Gearbox has announced three new maps will be coming to their MOBA/Hero shooter Battleborn for Free during the game’s next big update set to be released on Thursday. These three maps will offer a new spin on the the game’s Incursion, Meltdown, and Capture modes with special points of interest.
Starting with Incursion, we have the Monument Map. Set on Ekkunar, the last large green planet in the universe, the goal of the map is said to hold multiple advantages for each play style, with hidden pathways and skill jumps that will allow players quick access to the opposing team’s sentries. 2K listed some of the major features of the map.
- There is a Skill Jump path over the middle of the map leads to your first sentry, and you’re going to want to defend this point aggressively. If left unguarded, agile enemy players can sneak in easily at this spot and get access to your sentry.
- A high ledge overlooks the Minion lane entering your first sentry, and is a perfect place for a long-rage character to dominate. As a bonus, there’s a nearby Shard that can be farmed when your sniper isn’t raining pain down from this perch.
- You’ll want to keep your Logistics nodes built and maintained to keep your Minion waves running at top speed.
- Keep an eye out for a back route to sneak into your enemy’s Boss Sentry area.
For Meltdown, we have Outskirts set on Jennerit planet, Tempest. The map seems to have a three layer approach to the level, with sniper spots for the long range characters, multiple paths for Brawlers and brute characters to stand guard and hidden pathways for stealth. Players will have to work together to help bring their minions to the refining facilities and please the Robot overlord Minrec. Once again, 2K was kind enough to highlight some more points on the map.
- Key turrets in the backfield of the map become increasingly important during the second half of the match. Outskirts has very strong sightlines for these backfield buildables, so you’re going to want to keep them up and running.
- You’ll want to build your Super Minions before the enemy grinders move. Getting Super Minions all the way to the back grinders will be difficult.
- Make it a point to claim the second floor of the Mausoleum in the center of the Slums lane. It’s an easy point to defend, and gives you control over the lane if you own it.
Finally we have Snowblind for Capture mode, set in The Peacekeeper Ocoban Mining Facility, the map focuses on holding down several key points, with tight corridors and sniper positions making it great for brawler heroes with Long-range backup.
- On Snowblind, Point C is the most remote capture point but also the most important. It offers some of the strongest defense and longest sightlines into the rest of the map.
- For long-range characters, hanging out at Point C will give you a clear view of nearly half the map.
- If the enemy team owns Point C, use the bridge in the center map to pick them off with some long-range and careful shooting.
