Microwave
Previous map: YB Factory
Next map: Bunker Party
Background[]
Microwave is a small map in PvP, being released in the 2.40 update. It has a few ramps, two floors, and a central tower. The map appears to be a cross between the mazes of Kill House and the ramps of Reactor. It features circuitry design that could indicate it is a large microwave, with a door on one side of the map. The central tower has a couple of walls providing cover from long ranged fire and sports rotating mechanical elements on the ceiling above.
The map has a lot of bugs and glitches. This makes it very tricky to climb on the platforms and may result in players falling through corners.
Spawn Locations[]
(Using the picture as a reference) The pink team spawns in the trench to the right of the platform where the character is standing.
The blue team spawns at the far opposite trench.
Recommended Weapons[]
Sniper Rifles- Useful for shooting people own in the trenches from the central tower and firing across the entire area from the map corners.
Laser Guns- Highly recommended since they can provide immediate damage and cover fire in the trenches and up on the second floor.
Light Bows- They should be used in the trenches since the trenches are small and great areas for ambushes.
Black Disk- Also useful for the tight corners in the trenches.
Grenade Launchers + Plasma- Useful for drawing players out of cover, while they are hiding in the tower or in the trenches. Grenades can be shot up over the trenches and barricades or down into the trenches from the central tower.
General Strategy[]
The general strategy whether in Team Deathmatch or All For One is to get your opponents down on the lower levels of the map and keep them down there. In the Star Warfare series, like in many other shooter games, the advantage of height is significant. Very often, just dropping onto someone from above in the Microwave map spells death for that player.
