Kings Canyon
The original: tight POIs, zip spam, and third parties that arrive in ten seconds.
Kings Canyon is smaller-feeling fights and faster third parties. Slums, skull town-era energy even when the POI names change. You loot less, you fight sooner, you reset or you die. Support legends and smokes earn more here than on a desert ridge. Do not chase a knock 80 meters from your team — you are now the knock.
- Pace
- Fast third parties
- Drop
- Edge or mid — the whole map is 'contest' if you land center
- Reset
- Buildings and zips, not an open field batts
Key spots
Named hot POIs
Contest. Ping a different building if two teams land.
Zips
Rotate and escape. Cut zips if you are holding.
Canyons / low ground
A beam from above. Do not reset in a ditch vs height.
Survey beacons
Recon job. Ring knowledge is KP you did not shoot for.
Craft
Banners. Do not 1v3 the team that just killed your mate.
Play notes
- Popping a Phoenix Kit in the open. Battery behind cover, then kit in a building.
- Scan, smoke, or dome should enable a push, not replace shooting.
- Mixtape guns transfer. KC just asks you to use them faster.
