With an expansive multi-tier mid and serpentine back alleys, Floodgate's home to the kind of involved long-form teamplay that makes Arena worth playing in a sea of Payloads and Dominations. Make like a bottling plant, and contaminate your enemies with fatal amounts of lead.

Floodgate promotional blurb

Floodgate is an official Four-Team Arena map with a symmetrical design, featuring exaggerated verticality, tight corners, cramped interiors, and tons of ambush routes. It is set in a fake bottling plant on an anonymous mountain ridge that conceals a mysterious intelligence apparatus.

Locations

Overview

Spawn

Each team spawns in a single room with a single exit, leading to an elevated platform with a one-way drop to the ground. The ground has a singular, wide route to center. The platform connects to a building that connects to an opposing team's equivalent building. Both buildings lead to the center through a short staircase.

Center

All the teams meet in a wide center arena surrounding a tiny, enclosed point inside a tower. The tower has pipes around it allowing for a height advantage. There are supply shacks in front of the point with medium ammo packs, and a side route behind them with shallow water and a medium ammo pack.
