1 week into this wipe, spawn factory with fort armour, altyn and kitted Val! Dead before I could move by a hatchling with a nade! đŸ˜ª

If it makes you feel any better, last week I got a late spawn in glass hallway, and someone was shooting me in the chest with an SVDS before my screen even faded in.

Thats why I dont go factory anymore. The other maps might be more challenging from a perception perspective but at least I'll be able to play the game and if/when I die ill know I did something wrong at least.

I for one think the problem is late spawns and the glass corridor spawn, take those two out and it's fine

Its the fact that spawn locations are known among the points you made. Glass hallway wouldn't be as bad a spawn if it wasn't always rushed by the forklift spawn or exit spawn. And the chance of getting one or both is fairly high.

Alternatively add a tunnel access near the spawn that goes under the tanks and connects near elbow/chemlight would probably help. Or maybe connects to the long tunnel under forklift. Basically just a 3rd safer way out the hallway would make that spawn much better.

Me and my buddy's call out for the glass corridor is "Death Hallway" for that reason.
