"The lunar Big Rock Mining Facility specializes in processing of heavy metal ores, and the slightly-lower-than-Earth gravity is ideal for the handling of large orders and high volume, but does physically wear on the human body over time; to compensate, zones of normal Earth gravity have been established in the facility's interior spaces."

Author notes[]

"It's an asymmetrical map that is meant to be a bit easier to pick up than say CrashSite while still trying to explore some different unique gameplay hooks. The outdoor areas of the map are at half gravity while indoor is at the regular of 1. Indoor/outdoor are separated by a new TeamDeco BP type (WeaponShield) that acts as a barrier to all types of weapon fire while allowing players to pass through, which allows for some (hopefully) fun cat and mouse/baiting gameplay. The outdoor part being half gravity really allows the wall dodge to shine and you have to make an interesting tradeoff between being able to travel at very high speeds but being exposed in the air vs sticking to the ground and having more cover but crossing at regular speed. The translocator also gets a ton of distance potential.

There are naturally more thoughts that went into how the bases are laid out and stocked but I don't want to impart bias on how people perceive them and their usefulness."
