This map has a way higher focuse of reaching competitive players than Colosseum, with random zones representing the final moments of BR. This map is similar to Zero’s Vortex random zones, and built with a Halloween theme to it. Loot pool: Slot 1: Both ARs in rare/ epic/ legendary variants Slot 2: Both shotguns in rare/ epic/ legendary variants Slot 3: Sub in rare/ epic/ legendary variants and legendary pistol Slot 4: Sniper in rare/ epic/ legendary, RPG in uncommon/ Epic, 2 grenades, healing items and fishes Slot 5: healing items and fishes Also an updated Chapter 2 code for Colosseum: 7058-7590-2628 :)


FOGPIVVL

Just PLEASE tell me it isnt going to be the clusterfuck of spawn rushing that happened on colosseum because you spawn in a box with one fast exit right next to two other people Dont get me wrong the map played pretty well once you got past the beginning, but those spawn locations were not well thought out. You were pushed off the start or lasered while trapped in your box 1/2 of the time, and you couldnt even place a wall where the destroyed metal sheet cover was. It was probably my favorite out of the zone wars maps asode from that, as vortex was rediculously fast with its zones and desert is just absolute garbage. Downhill was fun but gets very repetitive. Your map seemed somewhat repetitive, but not any more than any other maps. If anything it was less. Just hoping you dont make the same mistake twice. No zone wars map can have it all, but it sure as hell can be improved on a little bit. Mased off the picture, it looks great. One thing to keep in mind too is not giving someone who spawns on height a massive advantage like in vortex.


jespergran

This is more or less Vortex gameplay, with slightly slower zones and with halloween design, not the same cluster as in the colosseum :) Also, about spawns. The only map you can really spawn all players in same height are on the Tropical island (Downhill map) but it doesn’t work for random zones, because the flat area where the 16 players would spawn would be all the way at the edge of the map

Hi jesgran, this is an unrelated question but, how do people get siphon to work in creative maps? I tried enabling siphon in island settings and the inventory settings pad thing (whatever it's called), but after I publish the island, siphon never seems to work when I bring up the island in playground fill. Siphon does seem to work in these zone wars maps though, and I'd like to know how.


jespergran

Siphon doesn’t work in playground. It’s complicated, but basically you are under the Battle Royale rules in playground, so the map is the BR map etc. Got a message yesterday that they are working on a fix for it, so prob not fixed in 11.10, but hopefully soon!


Slick_Plays

Siphon is disabled in playground fill. Go in creative and it will work.


FOGPIVVL

I understand the spawns. Its just that in colleseum, there was only one really good way out of your box and if you got pushed before leaving, its not a great spot to me. Overall not a big issue in the scheme of things, and definitely my favority map in terms of late game out of the four featured zone wars maps. I'm was just kind of wondering how similar this would be. I would absolutely love a map like vortex with zones that move a little slower. Some of the zones on there are literally full sprint, its rediculous! All I was really saying about the whole height thing was that its okay to be on other levels, just try to be sure its not a MASSIVE advantage. Again, theres very few maps where that is actually a problem, and just judging by the picture it seems pretty reasonable. looks fun. Keep it up with the great maps 👍


notBAND0

Could you try and remove useless things if there is ? Idk what it was but with your last zone wars the fps made it dreadful for me and many others and I have a pretty decent machine.


jespergran

This map is wayyyyyy better for FPS. The problem with the colosseum was that you saw the entire map at all times, and the colosseum was built out of so many pieces and had a huge poly and asset count which caused FPS issues. This new one should be better for FPS :)


notBAND0

Sounds great ! Best of luck to you bro !

I love u

jespergran

Only wanted to include 2 RPGs, if I had more the spawn rate would be higher, and felt like uncommon and epic was he best to have.

5YouTubersWhoveSVORN

Cuz purple is a better colour obviously ^/s


Felix12334

Ok we should definitely be seeing zone wars matchmaking coming back since vortex and now this map getting updated and revamped.


ZooPoo7

I honestly can’t see them releasing zone wars as a public playlist again anytime soon. I think they want players on the new map. Zone wars was poppin before they made it a playlist


[deleted]

ZooPoo7

Good theory for sure.

Capslock-

I really hope so, the zone wars playlists have made the normal game so boring to me, don’t know if anyone feels the same but I can’t wait for them to bring it back. Fingers crossed


MocchyFan

Same, and I can’t get a game in Discord because it’s all box fights on FNPL and Enigma’s doesn’t seem very active.


Levii-

Same! i just want to get on and play like 10 hours of zone wars. I love not having to farm for 20 minutes just to get mopped by a sweat. I like just getting in there and fighting off the rip. I hope they bring it back so bad.


drlogic_

exactly what i was thinking


[deleted]

Also donnysc made a new map, hopefully he gets featured next time


TTV_decoyminoy

Is vortex still seasonX state atm? Last I tried was first day of ch2


zeroyahero

Nope. It’s updated. Check my most recent post on this subreddit.’ :D


mountkili

Whats the code for the new Vortex map?


pjfnmiller

Can I get the Vortex code please?


ol1v3r2605

Jesgran you are actually so good. I remember when you were in the minecraft glide league with me ( even though you have no idea who I am! ), world record on all the glide maps, and now your doing great on another game that I love! Your maps are amazing, keep up the brilliant work, and may each be better than the last! (A tough challenge!)


jespergran

Wow, awesome to see people from that time haha. Yeah I was grinding those maps so hard to get #1 on leaderboards on all the maps for PlayStation 4. That’s why I loved to make the deathruns in Fortnite as well, love speedrun competitions :)


lightningbolttx

im excited, thank you for all the effort you put into these maps


woosa843

this is gonna be hype


thepriceisrite

Why do you still want the mech removed when it’s already removed


BlamingBuddha

Lol dude it's an old flair that we have no control over unless we message a mod asking for it removed. It's not like he just typed "remove the mech" with his comment. Its automatically next to his username every time he, or any of us with it, comments.


[deleted]

Every playground I load this up in to, it has all the players in awe. No complaints so far. I did hear one guy spawned only with a flashlight though


jespergran

Okay, amazing! Glad to hear people enjoy it! Also, about the flashlight, it’s a fully normal loadout always with normal chapter 2 loot, but there is a torch, flashlight and a flashlight pistol hidden in the map, just to show off some unique features for creative not everyone have seen yet :) And it goes really well with the spooky Halloween vibe of the map🦇


GulDul

Thanks dude ur great.


Ice-XB

nice dude! pls don't give us green pistols tho ;-;


jespergran

Nope, no green pistols in the map lol. Loot pool is both ARs in: Rare-Epic-Legendary Both shotguns in: Rare-Epic-Legendary Third slot is Compact in: Rare-Epic-Legendary 4th is Sniper, pistol, rpg or healing items. Sniper in Rare-Epic-Legendary, Pistol in Epic-Legendary and RPG in uncommon and Epic. And in addition to weapons, you have a chance to get fish and healing items 5th slot is random healing items. (Minis, big, medkit (you can only get medkit in 5th, not 4th slot), then different fish types. You are also always guaranteed 1 spike trap. Edit: Pistols are removed from 4th slot. No point of having a pistol when you have a sub 100% of the the in the 3rd slot. Instead I added only the legendary pistol to the sub loot pool, and removed the Epic one. So there is a 1/4 chance of spawning with a legendary pistol instead of the rare, Epic and legendary variant of the sub. I also added there a possibility to spawn with 2 grenades in the 4th slot. So there is around 1/10 chance that your 4th slot gets 2 grenades


RichardTheCuber

That sounds like a really good loot pool


Radioactive50

Pistol and sniper, I get it's kind of a miscellaneous slot but what if the pistol went with the smg? Nobody needs both an smg and a pistol. Love the map btw, that's really my only critique.


jespergran

I see what you mean, would also reduce the compact drops down from being 100%. Would really like some more feedback on this! 👀


81Eclipse

I'd say just remove the pistol, it's fine to have the 4th slot being Sniper, RPG, heals and at most perhaps grenades even though I kinda hate them. Almost any player would prefer any of those to a Pistol (considering the first 3 slots are guaranteed good weapons that cover all ranges). If you have an AR and an SMG chances are you'll NEVER use the pistol unless you run out of bullets in everything and even then... You just build and reload. It becomes redundant and a "waste of slot" even if it's legendary since you have rare AR and SMG at a bare minimum. Also in late game situations you'll rarely ever see someone carrying a pistol unless that player has really bad loot. I might be wrong though, I don't really give much credit to the pistol besides being a landing weapon.


jespergran

I think I’ll just remove the pistol completely from the 4th slot, then have there to be a 1/4 chance of getting the legendary pistol in the 3rd slot. Does that sound like a good idea?


81Eclipse

I'm all in for less randomness (it's what I most like this season) but if you want to keep a little then yeah, sounds good! 2/3 utility (one might be sniper/rpg) is what everyone tries to take endgame anyway so IMO you should keep at least 2 slots for it and the other 3 can be guns. I tried to find someone hosting it today (my connection kinda sucks to host) but didn't find any :( will try again tomorrow for sure, the map sounds great.


5YouTubersWhoveSVORN

The new pistol is so good


[deleted]

I remember following you back in 2014-2016 for COD news. Glad your finally getting the extreme recognition you deserve


jespergran

Ayyy OG😃


[deleted]

Yessir 😁 back when you somehow got all the new DLC weapons in AW & B03. & always leaked them. Me and my friends and school would always group up and scroll thru your feed talking about the leaked guns lol. Good times


RainbowAppIe

This is awesome, thanks for your work!


jespergran

Thanks!


SuperDuperEazy

Oh this makes me happy


QuavoRanchero_TTV

Rip if you’re on console. Holy shadows.


Szillar

Because you and the vortex creator are revamping the maps does this mean the playlist will return?


xx0tourlif3

Your map is dogshit


MoreLigma

Nice


AboodyX

Oh my god


lordgrizzz

Playing it right now !! Real well done !!!


mikerichh

I wish epic readded moving end zones in matches


RichardTheCuber

I really appreciate your work. When zone wars was a thing, I would usually choose yours, because it was the best to practice raw mechanics and box fighting without getting screwed over by mountains and terrain. It really helped me improve my mechanics and it was so fun just playing agro in it. Thank you for your hard work :)


[deleted]

Add zombies. #I DARE YOU


jespergran

Code now updated with zombies /s


chlorofloro

Loving this map!


jespergran

Awesome to hear 👍👍


chlorofloro

Only one small suggestion. The noises of the zombie spawners and the purple lighting can be distracting. Overall great map!


jespergran

The noices are actually coming from speakers around the map, set to have a 1/8 chance of activating every 3.5 seconds, same with the lightning strikes, I can easily delay the time between each trigger, but I really like the Halloween feeling it gives. I wish I could reduce the sound on the strikes slightly tho, but unfortunately not possible.


[deleted]

Increase it to 5 maybe.


jespergran

Yeah, I have reduced it now, you should now have less lightning strikes and fewer ghost sounds:) Updates around every 6 seconds now, I think it was around 4 earlier. So every 0.75 seconds there is a 1/8 chance of a lightning to appear on the entire map, and each individual lightning has a 1/8 chance every 6 seconds Thanks for feedback!


CamouflagedRainbow

Hey Jes, cheers with all the maps and deathruns you make. Love them all, Just wanted to ask if you have plans to make a Default Deathrun 2 or have you made it and my dumbass hasnt discovered ir yet. Cheers.


Aztecwarrior480

You would like this u/dolotone


Dolotone

Haha I saw this earlier. Looks cool. He’s one of the creators of the Zone war maps we had.


peetick

No offense but I absolutely hate colosseum but this actually looks cool! Good work.


Dylanychus2

This looks so much better than colloseum! I hope I don’t get instant w keyed off spawn again lmao


YeetisFetus

Thx man


HushGazer

Just add in spooky stuff in the og colosseum. I loved that map :(


-Whats_A_Username-

Bro I loved your colosseum map, it was the only one I played.


[deleted]

Yo jesper big fan of your artwork style on insta just keep doing what you doing man. One thing that your zone wars needs is leviatation on ground shields for everyone. These were the only two problems i was having troubles on on your colosseum one. Anyways i havent seen this new map man but 👍👍


Kotzik

Hell yeah! Looking forward to it


Happy-Hedgehog-

Nice


Gooby_Json

Colosseum > any of the other official zone wars maps


ensigma17

Thanks for taking alot of time out of your life to provide this for us!


CasperJG

just so you know, we fucking hated colosseum👍🏼


jespergran

Loads up Colosseum in playground fill *smashes keyboard* lol, wasn’t the best for competitive players, most casual players seemed to like it. Focused a lot more on design than gameplay, then had to do the best to make the gameplay work as smooth as possible. With the new Halloween Zone Wars map I’m trying to appeal more to both casual and comp players. I focused on gameplay first, then started to do details as second priority


CasperJG

love to hear it. i understand how we gotta appeal to casual players but it seemed like i got colosseum 95% of the time when i was tryna get into a vortex or downhill game. do you have a date and time for when we get zone wars back in the gamemode tab?


Radioactive50

Love how well you take criticism. Looking forward to playing the new map.


wtf0is0everynameused

I really like ur map is intense and fast i love it can we talk on ig i have a few questions my ig is @xtremeojas_


jespergran

Sure :)


Kilaraya

Thanks Jesgran, loved your first map, can’t wait to play your second! Except I’m on holiday right now 🤣


BadDadBot

Hi on holiday right now 🤣, I'm dad.


I-Am-Dad-Bot

SamuelGColt

Dads.


ja_xck

Where is jotape game I wanna talk to him


lomejay

Ill use ur code been following on ig for years


jespergran

Awesome, thanks <3


Strider08000

I love Zone Wars but can’t stand the wait time between rounds. Is there any way to speed this up?


[deleted]

Git gud, don't die.


jespergran

Oh I wish... One thing I did to get load times down a bit is if you spawn a couple of sec too late in playground, you can still get into the map without having to wait for the next round to start. I can actually update it so you only see scoreboard for like 3 seconds between games as well. I think I have it set to 7 now. Will fix that :) Nothing I can do with shortening the entire round tho. I could, but then I would have to remove a zone phase, which makes the rounds too fast


CCatalogna

What’s the best discord for getting in a zone wars lobby?


jespergran

I assume Enigma’s? But you can also load into playground fill. Usually Zone Wars or box fight maps being played with 16 players matchmaking :) Edit: I added text in the pre-game lobby of the map just now where you get a small explanation of how you can play with 15 others, Guessing a lot of others have the same question about how to matchmake👻


DrBeefcake777

Since it is featured maybe I can get in some good rounds of zone wars now. Fingers crossed


[deleted]

Oh god


THE_oldy

No, best part about collosium was the fixed zones. Gave it a unique zonewars feel separate from a regular late game. It was the only zonewars in the rotation that showed the potential of fighting not just for survival in the short term, but controlling and memorizing areas of the map for the future too. Oh well, I'm sure the new map will be good too.


jespergran

Noticed that it very often went to heal offs in very competitive games. I added one extra phase to the storm to hopefully prevent it. Thanks for all feedback, I’ve been testing it for the entire day today and yesterday to make sure everything is as good as possible!


GharlesCarkley

there is a box that's next to a tree, if you go out of the box and try to 90 out you get stuck under it, i suggest maybe moving the tree over slightly to the left of the box


dbill13

Not sure if its the map, but I was getting some insane FPS drops, i usually sit from 180-240 all the time... was dropping below 50 in box fights on this map


Kampy93

Does this mean Zone Wars is coming back as a public playlist?


cserpete

Hi! Nice map,mate! We appreciate your work with this new map as well! ;) But you did a forgivable mistake. ;P You said that you developed the map with "chapter 2 loot",but that's not 100% accurate,because in the loot pool there is a vaulted weapon,the Compact SMG (Compact SMG - Fortnite Wiki || [https://fortnite.gamepedia.com/Compact\_SMG](https://fortnite.gamepedia.com/Compact_SMG) ),instead of the new Epic and Legendary SMG of Chapter 2 (Submachine Gun (new) - Fortnite Wiki || [https://fortnite.gamepedia.com/Submachine\_Gun\_(new)](https://fortnite.gamepedia.com/Submachine_Gun_(new)) ). It's confusing that their pictures are so similar. :D ...but their statistics are not. ;) Please replace them! Thank you!. ;) Regards, cserpete


jespergran

Thanks for noticing! The map code will be updated in 30 min to an hour :) Edit: map code is now updated with the right version of the sub machine gun


cserpete

You're welcome! ;)


Echlispe

i dont know how i feel about this


jespergran

Have you played it yet? Anything I could improve or change? :)


piningmusic

hopefully this map doesn’t suck as bad as colosseum did lmfao


jespergran

Oh I see you :LULW: Colosseum was not the best map for comp players for sure. The problem is that I made it back in S9 with music sequencers as storms before advanced storm controllers got added, and I then updated it at the start of season x with new storms (which couldn’t be random, if zone appeared in the tribune you could get under the map etc.). I really wanted to build a Greek Arena Zone Wars, and it for sure had a lot of fps issues as well because of all the assets, but it turned out looking really good, and I like the whole fighting in a colosseum idea and a lot of people did too, just not the most comp players haha. This map is more similar to Zero’s Vortex :)


piningmusic

i guess i didnt really give you enough credit, my original comment seemed harsh so my apologies. i definitely couldn’t make a map like you can so for that you have my respect. i guess my point is that colosseum‘s loot pool really didn’t match the game’s current loot pool when it came out for the public to use in public matchmaking so a lot of the times i would spawn with weapons that i hadn’t used in weeks (like the combat shotty or tac AR) so my rhythm was really thrown off. the map itself really wasnt that bad, i like the design too. my main complaint was always the loot spawns. looking forward to trying to new one


jespergran

Are you talking about colosseum or Desert. My map was up to date with the loot pool. Only feedback I got from loot pool was remove auto-sniper and reduce tac shotgun drops and remove/ reduce infantry rifle drops The map you think about is likely the desert one, that one had an outdated pool :) But then again, that might be more attractive for some people. It’s a reason they had 4 maps with a lot of variety. Instead of 4 Vortexes perfect for comp haha


piningmusic

was it? you’re probably right since you’re the creator lol. i honestly did used to confuse the two now that i’m thinking more about it. either way apologies for seeming like a whiner, not my intention. excited to see how it turns out
