5. Level Map
Guardian is a map of
constant movement, the
common path aims to go
through the central area,
grav lift room and the
sniper tower, utilizing the
top and bottom floors of
each space. The green
area is less active, and is
only really used as a
shortcut to the grav lift
room

6. Level Section 1 - Main Floor
The first section contains the central
area of the map, most of the combat
of the game happens here as all
pathways either lead to, or through
this location. However, there are no
unique weapons other than the
mauler in area diagonally from the
grav lift room. To make up for this,
an Active Camo is placed in room
next to grav lift and some explosives
are placed next to mauler.
It also worth noting the grav
lift/yellow room. This is one of the
connections between the main and
bottom floor of the map. Due to a
player’s vulnerability while going up
the lift, this is also a common
camping location.

7. Level Section 2 - Lower Area
While there isn’t as much combat,
the lower area of the map is where
the more powerful weapons are
located. The brute shot in the green
area, the shotgun at the blue dead
end, and, most importantly, the
gravity hammer underneath the
central area are all located in lower
section of the map.
The lower area also comes with a
boost pad to the other areas. They
land you on the sides of each
section, mostly made to catch other
players off guards.

8. Level Section 3 - Sniper Tower
The 3rd and perhaps most advantageous section of the map
is the Sniper Tower. Its a smaller section of the map but
offers the highest elevation of anywhere else on the map,
point, giving players a line of sight to just about any section
of the map. On top of that, it also highly defendable as the all
the paths to the base leave you vulnerable to anyone already
inside. To balance this, an explosive spawns near the top of
the tower for players to shoot, and a jump pad in the lower
section allows faster, safer entry
