Rats — shellshockers

Rats is a map that was released as part of the Breakfast Event. The objects in the map are larger than the eggs making the map look very very big. The map is inside a cube shaped dome. There are paths on the outsides of the cube allowing players to get from one side to the other without having to walk through many battles. Across there are multiple 'Pablo Flakes' cereal boxes, salt n' pepper shakers, spatulas and even electric stoves to cook your morning eggs. This map is an "inside-map" just like Lunar Module. It is one of the largest maps in-game (by size), along with Chicken Itza, Ruins.

Rats is used a lot as a hide and seek map as it is a very large map and has many small rooms allowing people to camouflage and hide themselves. The small hiding spots on the outskirts also help players as they can also use the grey or white color to blend in with the blocks on the outside. After the low gravity update, you are able to hide at the top of the map and in places that no one will suspect. This map was designed by Vozzy.

Features

Overview

The map Rats is in the shape of a kitchen. It is the first "inside" map in the game.

Ground

The ground is made out of black and white tiles. It is flat and very large (surface area of the entire map). Close range weapons come in handy when on the floor.

Fridge

The fridge is a huge camping tower for Crackshot and RPEGG players. It is located on the blue team side, and has a long ladder on the side, leading to the top of it. Inside the fridge contains a spiral staircase and tiny ice cubes in the corner. There is a small passageway on the side of the fridge, that leads to a secret tunnel (heads to red team base).

Oven & Stove

The oven and stove are iconic spots on the map, also located on blue team side. The oven is blue and on has ladders leading to the top of it, fairly small. The stove is a flat base for blue team. It is located between the fridge and oven.

Door

The door is a major spawn camping feature. It is perfect for long range weapons, allowing the person at the top to spawn kill many players. It is between blue and red spawning location(s).

Cupboard

The cupboard is a long and high landmark in the map. It is in red-spawning territory. Inside of it, have stairs and ladders leading to the middle level, and top level. At the top of the cupboard is a small passageway that allows you to walk through the outskirts of the map. When low-gravity is activated you can use this opening to hop onto the roof of the map.

Tactics

As this is the largest map in the game you must be able to kill people on the other side of the map. Using a Crackshot or Free Ranger on this map is the best option as this is a quick release weapon that allows you to reach further distances. People often try to use RPEGG on this map but this isn't really good as the RPEGG is a slow release weapon and takes time before it reaches the opponent giving them enough time to move away from the destination of the shot.
