Game Maps: (Tuesday, October 29, 2024)
This newest DLC will add to the game’s six maps, four of which are inspired by locations from the movie. The latest addition takes you to the local mall. While you're shopping for that perfect outfit the Killer Klowns are shopping for their perfect meal. This latest location adds even more twists and turns to surviving and escaping or hunting.
★ NEW - Mall Map - The Crescent Cove Mall: The invading Klowns immediately flocked to this vibrant, neon-soaked shopping mall (and set up some killer decorations of their own). Humans should utilize its maze-like features to shop and scavenge for any way to survive!
★ See the map in our assets link - flythroughs and screenshots.
★ The new map will be released with patch 1.6.0 this Tuesday, October 29, 2024.
★ Waterfront Pier: Nothing quite says Summer like taking a trip down to a Waterfront Pier! Built for fun in the sun with all the classic boardwalk thrills, this multi-level beachside destination brings joy to all who visit. Take in the breathtaking sights and smells of a Klown invasion pushed to this seaside paradise!
★ Amusement Park: First seen in the movie’s third act, this seaside Amusement Park is filled to the brim with neon lights, kiosks, and different attractions. Tight spaces and corridors are the meat and bones of this eerily familiar hunting ground for Klowns.
★ Top Of The World: A classic makeout spot favored by locals and klowns alike. A lush forest where the darker tones and vegetation heavily contrast with the city lights from Crescent Cove. Is that a Klown, a bush, or a Klown behind a bush?
★ Crescent Cove Downtown: The blooming downtown of Crescent Cove, this map contains the town’s iconic Police Station and a questionable Biker’s alley. Designed for mostly street and sharp corners gameplay, humans will need to plan different flank routes to stay out of sight in the more open areas.
★ The Suburb: The quiet neighborhood surrounding Debbie’s house and the Big Top Burger. A residential area where all that remains is the bleak scenery left behind by the Klowns hunting humans. Houses full of cotton candy, confetti, and Klown-size footprints are terribly common on this map.
★ Clown Summer Camp: A clown-focused summer camp sponsored and brought to life by Big Top Burger, located on a small island where every Crescent Cove high schooler used to learn how to juggle and tie knots. It’s funny that the place where they learned survival skills and circus tricks as kids is where they will probably die as adults at the hands of Klowns.
New Map Tips:
★ The Crescent Cove Mall is a local hot-spot for shopping, fun, and (it seems) Klown invasions. It has a movie theater, a bustling boardwalk Arcade, a large parking garage, and a quaint waterfront complete with bumper boats. Keep a sharp eye out for useful items while weaving your way through the Mall’s stores, corridors, and back rooms. Being exposed in the open areas is highly inadvisable. Utilize the more congested sightlines of the map to build your arsenal and remain undetected.
★ Most of the crossing and boat escapes are found along the coastline of the map while portal and bunker escapes have the potential to spawn in many places. The Terenzi Brothers, on the other hand, will crash their ice cream truck through somewhere within the mall itself. Some areas are less accessible to the Klown Jump ability, so positioning and teamwork are crucial for Klown teammates when guarding points of escape.
★ The Klowns have blocked access to the upper floors of the Mall, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t ways to sneak around. Players should use the maze of paths and abundance of hiding places in the map to evade Klowns and throw them for a loop. Keep a lookout for wall-mounted TVs and radios to keep the Klowns distracted.
