The worst gun run map is back :(

Keep in mind I say this as a pathfinder main so I play one of the best characters for the map-  I hate estates for gun run. An open multi level center that you have to move to over and over. How about we chop off the top two levels of the structure? The map would be significantly more balanced and fun.

    There's more camping and thus requires a more tactical approach. Most are focussed on the center from their positions. It's better to just go around and suprise attack from behind. Personally, I prefer the Gardens. I've missed that map since I've played it in Arenas. I did like the Estates during Shadow Royale. The one mode where I don't give a **** about MM and deaths. Can't wait for Halloween.

    @Wolferato Tactical approach? On Apex? 🤪

    So basically use Fuse and knuckle spam or shoot people in the back. It would be a lot more fun if they just removed the top two houses. Would be more like the lava tdm map.

    Then the center would lose it's purpose, since it would be targeted from all sides and has less cover. You still have to deal with campers on the outsides of the map.

    Granted, this map is terrible for Pathfinder, little use for his tactical. Only his ult gives an advantage.

    Bangalore and her smoke is better. Or Mirage. Mirage is definitely more fun.

    @Wolferato If all buildings, including the two multi stories in the outside were single level the whole map would be flat with a bunch of single story buildings to fight around. People that want to camp a building could camp however, where ever they want.

    Paths tactical is useless? I played 3 games in this map yesterday and won all 3 as path swinging to height. So please understand, unlike most I'm not complaining out of frustration due to losing. Any character that has to run or climb to height is useless, unlike on the skulltown and frag maps where there are multiple high and low areas to play. On those I play a lot of caustic a fair amount. There's no way I'd play caustic on this map.

    Really? Seems more fun to me than the other two maps. But then again, the mode is a trashcan, so that doesn't mean much.

  • So for the map to be more fun you'd like to have more open space to fight in rather than allow hiding spots?

    Or what exactly would help in this case?

    @XHelperZ It would remove the one middle high point. The bottom center and surrounding buildings, fence barriers and other stuff would still be there.

    Again, this really is no different than the habitat map and lava map used for tdm.
  • @hayhor I would agree with you, if the Wall didn't exist as a Gun Run map, Lmao! As much as I'm not a fan of Estates, I'll actually take it over the Wall. Neither of these two are ones that I really enjoy though

    Personally, I would love to see Repulsor or Crash Site from KC as Mixtape maps. I feel like they both have a decent mix of elevation and shooting lanes and whatnot. Plenty of buildings down low, with several routes up to height for flanking enemies at Crash Site. Repulsor is one of my sleeper favorite POI's in BR, because I've had some of my most fun battles there. Repulsor height is also accessible from many angles. You can climb up any of the exterior doors on the big buildings, or go through the building itself, or use a movement ability. I feel like both locations would make good maps for Mixtape

    Here’s an idea, bring back arenas so I can actually enjoy playing apex instead of having only BR and die repeat game modes. Arenas was peak Apex, or Apex Apex if you will. Why did they get rid of the best game mode!!

    @dSKyNafinchin The wall is a rough one due to the open areas but I have more fun on it. I actually think the arenas maps are best. Thankfully the mode gave us something as it was bad.
