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.
The map was initially created as an arena map, but it was the King of the Hill version which ended up being featured in the game.
A portion of the money made from the sales of the Gun Mettle Campaign Pass goes to the authors of the map.
Contents
Locations
- Temple Tower: At the center of the map is a large tower that houses the control point inside. The tower is open on three ends on ground level, and has a second level that can only be accessed from the rooftops.
- Calligraphy Temples: On the mountainside by the waterfalls are two team oriented temples. Both temples contain a medium Health and Ammo kit, as well as a small Health kit between them. Also between them is a bridge to the control point.
- Rooftops: All of the rooftops of the temples are accessible and can serve as a shortcut, or a tactical advantage. Access to the rooftops can be achieved by: Climbing from the plank ramp near each team's calligraphy temple, from the cliffside temple's second floor, or by Rocket jumping/Sticky jumping.
- Cliffside Temple: At the edge of the cliff is a temple with two medium Health kits in it. There are three ways to the temple: From a bridge at the side of the CP tower over the cliff, or from the team's side jumping across some precarious rocks. The temple has a second floor that can be used as a shortcut to the CP tower.
- Far islands: Past the edge of the cliff are two small rock islands. Jumping classes can reach them, but engineers can't build on them.

- Players are blocked from leaving spawn until round start.
- More detailing.

Update history
July 2, 2015 Patch #1 (Gun Mettle Update)
- Added Suijin to the game.
Bugs
- This map has multiple spots where Engineers can either create Teleporter traps and trap their teammates, or teleport them to locations that are otherwise unreachable without sentry jumping.
- There is a spot near the RED spawn, to the left of the main entrance to the point, in between the right-arrow sign and bamboo sticks, where Engineers can create a teleporter trap. Anyone who takes it will be stuck between the bamboo sticks and the sign, and the only way to escape is to kill oneself.
- If flown by either an enemy Demoman's stickybombs or via sentry jumping, Engineers can reach a ledge far to the right of their spawn. Anyone teleported there can only escape via killing themselves.
- If wrangled from the right spot, Engineers can be flown to one of two rock pillars that are a distance away from the main map. As with all Teleporters that lead to these type of locations, the only way to escape is to kill oneself by either falling off the pillars or manually killing oneself.
Trivia
- Suijin (水神) means "water god" in Japanese.
- A Samur-Eye, a Half-Zatoichi, and Conniver's Kunais can be found in the supply locker. Additionally, a banner of Concheror can be seen on the table in respawn room.
- Inside both teams' spawns are big signs that spell their team's color in Japanese; '赤', meaning red, and '青', meaning blue.
- If a player shoots or hits the gong in their spawn, it will make a loud sound (the unusued "Prayer Bowl" Noise Maker sounds from the Japan Charity Bundle). However, the gongs around the rest of the map do nothing when attacked.
- The two sounds heard at the beginning of a round and when the capture point becomes available are used by the Koto Noise Maker.
