THIS IS IT PEOPLE!!!A few more hours and we'll have an entirely new map to learn.....and that got me thinking, how much quicker would it be if we all pooled our collective big brains and shared every helpful bit of information regarding the map into one tidy convenient spot right?So I ask you all this, share your knowledge and I'll condense it into one tidy digestible post, and maybe just maybe....we can get ahead of the game. 😉Stay frosty legends!

S11 BR Map StormpointStormpoint is a tropical themed battle royale map that is around 15% bigger (playable area) than World's Edge. Lol just added that for the new players.I. TridentsTridents (vehicles from Olympus) are coming back but this time they can hover on water. Even in deep water. I've already seen videos where people are rotating almost at the border of the map.II. WildlifeThe wildlife in this map should be considered as another source of loot rather than another enemy. When killed, each creature will drop ammo and smart loot (like Lifeline) where it will give you attachments that will upgrade your gun. It won't give you armor nor a bag, it's just gun attachments AFAIK. The wildlife will only have a finite number of respawns. They have a red icon on the mini map. Firing at wildlife will of course attract the attention of other squads and PETA. Spiders (Is this their official name?)Most of the spiders are in eggs around the map and will hatch once hit by a bullet. They also spit out web. In real life, spiders have 8 legs, in Stormpoint in the planet Gaea, they only have 6. LOL.ProwlersProwlers are in enclosed areas and cannot go beyond that. They're not as sensitive as one would assume. You would need to be pretty close for them to notice you. They would spawn from nests inside the enclosures. Once cleared, no prowlers will spawn in that enclosure anymore.FlyersNothing has changed from Kings Canyon. They will still drop a deathbox.III. Gravity CannonsGravity Cannons is the hippest new way of traversing Stormpoint. You will be launched from one cannon to another so you can generally expect where you will land. Be careful since enemies can wait at the other end of the cannon. Abilities can change your trajectory though like Wraith's tactical, Path's grappling hook and etc. There's only one jump tower in the whole map.

There as yet does not seem to be Fragment/SkullTown/Estates spot. The closest two are that big hole in the tallest mountain (which is more than dumb to land in as there is plenty ot loot but hardly any cover so it's just luck if you are the last squad out of there) and those buildings on a raised platform (Checkpoint?) that is very hard to get back up to once you've fallen off.The internal geography of some of the smaller buildings is a bit annoying as it can be hard to find the stairs if there's a second floor or even an exit.Ignore that big crashed ship as a landing point as there's hardly any decent loot and if you're not the first squad there you're going to be killed. if you are kitted up though it can be a good place to visit as you can zipline up to a spot and pick off enemies.Don't engage the prowlers in Forbidden Zone/Jurassic Park unless you absolutely have to. They are easy to down but your gunfire will attract others for easy kills. I've lost count of the number of times I've dumped the Motherload on a Players v Prowlers fight in there and then picked off enemies from long range with the prowlers helping.I'm actually doing okay for a first week. I usually start slow for a new season (S9-10 was a baaad transtition for me as I'd fallen back in love with the Spitty) but my KDr is already up to 1.25 (I think it was 0.5 this time last season) and yesterday I had something like 60 kills in 20 or so games (and I only ever play with randoms). Wins seem harder to come by, though. Think I only have 7, and one of those was just me and Crypto looting and then watching a final fight at Antenna (the ring was our third squad member lol).

@MandatoryIDtag This is what I was kinda making a point of in my post Todays the Day, Welcome Season 11Great Idea lets make it happen.

@MandatoryIDtagThe insert image goes to Narnia , but desktop site option fixes it

@hayhor assuming it'll be locked in as the new map for a week or so though right?

S11 BR Map Stormpoint
Stormpoint is a tropical themed battle royale map that is around 15% bigger (playable area) than World's Edge. Lol just added that for the new players.
I. Tridents
Tridents (vehicles from Olympus) are coming back but this time they can hover on water. Even in deep water. I've already seen videos where people are rotating almost at the border of the map.
II. Wildlife
The wildlife in this map should be considered as another source of loot rather than another enemy. When killed, each creature will drop ammo and smart loot (like Lifeline) where it will give you attachments that will upgrade your gun. It won't give you armor nor a bag, it's just gun attachments AFAIK. The wildlife will only have a finite number of respawns. They have a red icon on the mini map.

Prowlers are in enclosed areas and cannot go beyond that. They're not as sensitive as one would assume. You would need to be pretty close for them to notice you. They would spawn from nests inside the enclosures. Once cleared, no prowlers will spawn in that enclosure anymore.
Flyers
Nothing has changed from Kings Canyon. They will still drop a deathbox.

@MandatoryIDtag The lack of jump towers annoys me. There is only one but it is huge. The rest looks great from vids I have seen.

No problem brother. We will just use yours.
Champion trumps Guide.
Pluss the Big Cheese already added the Map. Kudos to him.

Will we get a limited time rotation of exploring the map with no fighting like we did when Olympus first released?
