East Warehouse

East Warehouse is a map featured in SFD, added in Pre-Alpha 1.4.0.

Visual Characteristics
East Warehouse is a large map, and features a mainly blue background, with a purple background in the top-right section of the map, and an orange background in the bottom-left section. The map uses a metallic and concrete tileset for most of the solid tiles. The skyline of Sunny City can be seen in the background and the map appears to be next to a lake or river.

Many metal bars, pipes, and machines can be seen in the background of the map, with the background base being comprised of bricks.

The map also features three lifts, multiple bamboo scaffolding platforms, and tin roofs.

Gameplay
East Warehouse is a very open map, and good cover can be hard to come by in many parts of the map. The best-covered part of the map is the section in the top-right (with the purple background); you will only be exposed from one or two places if you take good cover here, as opposed to being exposed from most angles on other parts of the map. As the map is open, obtaining a gun is a good start, especially with the amount of tiles that can be shot through on the map (tin roofs, thin metal platforms, etc.), but don't be afraid to remain in a well-covered area and use melee to your advantage. If you plan to take cover on the top of the room to the top-right, then destroying the tall bamboo scaffolding can be hugely useful, as it removes an angle that you have to worry about, and only leaves you with one angle to be attacked from. A large structure of wooden crates often spawns at the bottom of the part, and can be a good for temporary cover.

The small room in the bottom left of the map often spawns around 4-5 explosive barrels at the start of the game, so going there is extremely dangerous. Once these barrels are set off, the force of the explosion can propel them to most parts of the map.

East Warehouse also features two stationary hooks and one moving hook (the same as the hook in Chemical Plant). These hooks are poorly covered and will often put you at a large disadvantage, but they can be a good escape route if you get caught out, and can also be used to ledge grab onto to cancel fall damage if you happen to fall off of the top part of the map.

As per most open maps, power weapons like the Sniper Rifle and M60 can wreak havoc when used efficiently, especially the M60, as its extremely high ammo capacity and automatic fire can make quick work of someone standing on a metal platform or tin roof.

Tips

 * By getting enough momentum on the swinging hook, you can make it do a full circle and can damage players standing on the platform above it.
 * By standing on the metal part on top of the hook, you can jump attack players standing on the platform above you.

Lore & Trivia

 * This map is an industrial/factory-themed map, with Sunny City in the background, this map contributes to the suggestion that Sunny City is heavily industrialised.
 * The warehouse itself seems to be owned by Milton Industries.
