Portal Orbs
The map also features glowing orbs suspended in mid-air which act as teleportation devices. They can be found in 7 different locations, although only one or two orbs is active at any given time. Upon touching the orb, it will disappear and the player will be instantaneously brought to a new location, which is specific for each orb. After approximately 3 seconds, a new orb will appear randomly in one of the 7 given locations. The orbs fulfill an important purpose in allowing BLU players to quickly escape Saxton's reach.
