Features
Overview
This has a width of 26 tiles, a depth of 19 tiles, and a maximum height of 14 tiles and uses the night skybox. It has a fog density of 0.02 with a light red color. It featured many new tiles including graves, spiders, nailed boards, spooky trees and trapdoors. This map is similar in a few ways to Haunted as they use very similar blocks and have roofs that players can get up onto.
Tower 1
Tower 1 is a very iconic feature on the map. Its a huge tower with a long spiral staircase on the interior. The staircase can be accessible from the bunker or from the hallways. This tower is made out of gray bricks, and halloween objects are scattered along the walls; (such as: spiderwebs, spooky paintings, ghosts, etc). The top floor of this building is the highest point on the map. Players can see the whole map from this spot. Also on this floor, is a pumpkin. There's a glitch where players can consistently jump on the pumpkin and end up on the roof of the tower. This technique is mainly used in Hide n Seek gamemodes. The location of tower 1 is on the blue-spawning area, near the graveyard.
Tower 2
Tower 2 is right across from tower 1. The interior of tower 2 is much larger than tower 1. Tower 2 has floors and levels, unlike the latter. The bottom floor of this tower connects to the main hallway of Jinx, as well as a trapdoor opening to the underground bunker. In this tower players can peek through walls, and take shelter on a ledge-room that is blocked by a window. (Bullets don't go through windows). The roof of tower 2, doesn't involve a glitch of any sort. Players can easily walk up the roof tiles and camp there. The location of tower 1 is on the blue-spawning area, near another opening to the bunker.
Tower 3
Tower 3 is fairly close to tower 1. Tower 3 is a one-way-ladder type of structure. There are three ledges for players to camp the ladder, and stop enemies from reaching the top. The roof of tower 3, connects to the outdoor stairs to tower 1. Allowing players to easily travel to the other building.
House & Graveyard
The House & Graveyard are also iconic features of Jinx. The graveyard is made out of dark grass, with tombstones all over the land. In the middle of the graveyard is a house that has a door. The door leads to stairs that lead to the underground bunker. The graveyard is only a couple of feet from Tower 1 and Tower 3.
Underground Bunker
The Underground Bunker is a narrow location beneath all the buildings. It is red (symbolize blood and horror). There are cobwebs scattered in the bunker, to give it that "underground vibe". Close range weapons come in handy when down here.
Tactics
In this map, the Crackshot and RPEGG are both very good weapons to build up kills. Due to the many passages and high mobility of the map, Crackshot and RPEGG users can easily navigate to the top, and medium floors, and spy on opposing eggs, as well as camp in many places. Here, players can easily target unsuspecting eggs.
Trivia
