The Science Lab was a medium-sized multiplayer map in Pixel Gun 3D. It was added in the 5.4.0 update.
Appearance[]
The map takes place in a lab. It has 2 sides that are identical, with a main "courtyard" connecting the two. There are smaller sub-rooms (appearing as cages) within the 2 main rooms.
There are a series of red lasers (which kills players upon contact) and jump pads found throughout the map, allowing for a much more fast-paced battle.
Strategy[]
- Use the trampolines so that it would be harder for the opponent to attack you.
- Be careful when you're using the trampolines as well because it's possible that you can land on the lasers or the lava pool.
- Do not jump through the lasers or fall in the lava.
- You can alternatively rocket jump with a weapon with rocket jump and no self-damage, like the Anti-Gravity Blaster.
Mechanics[]
- This map includes trampolines, which allow the player to jump higher (or bounce).
- SECTOR-1 contains portals that are linked to other portals scattered around the room.
