2v2 Faceoff. Round Two.
As the largest of the 2v2 Faceoff maps, Yukon Canyon will let you stretch your legs while you display your BR skill. This asymmetrical map takes up only about a quarter of Avalanche, but that’s still plenty of space for four people. You’ll find that communication, cooperation, and steady aim will be required to win on this map. Control the Canyon, and win the round.
There are plenty of weapons and lots of equipment on Yukon. From the rockets, to the brute shot, to the sniper rifle, to the sentinel beam, there is a lot of firepower here. But all of the weapons have been carefully balanced against the number of BRs and carbines on the map. You’ll never be far from something useful. And that’s good, because players relying on the assault rifle that they spawn with will not last long on this map.
The map itself is not much to look at, and you certainly won’t see anything special if you just look at the map in Forge mode. But the map really comes to life when you load up a custom match and start shooting. Oh, and one last thing: picking up the overshield on the map will activate a switch and cause a few extra things to spawn. For more information about the switch, read the
blog post about Yukon Canyon.
Good luck to everyone involved in the 2v2 Faceoff. Get training.
