Suijin

Suijin
Basic Information
Developer(s):	Unknown
Map Info
Environment:	Japanese cliffside

Suijin is an arena community-created map set on a Japanese cliffside shinto shrine to Suijin, the god of water in Japanese mythology.

The map focuses heavily on rooftop combat and clipping is very lenient. One of the mottos when making this map was "clip only if you have to," so areas like the far off islands, the roof tops, hiding spots are free game.

Suijin was the first map made with the Japan Content Pack.

A portion of the money made from sales of Campaign Passes during the Gun Mettle update went to the authors of this map. (The King of the Hill version was featured, however. Not the Arena version.)
