Grim Pantry Hate Thread
I despise this map with every fiber of my being, it's just so boring, dull, bland, and with the most boring loops you've ever seen in your life. The Swamp realm is by far my least favorite, and grim pantry is the main reason. All of my favorite killers are just boring/suck-to-play on this map, as survivor I love holding w to the next boat loop, so much fun! And don't even get me STARTED on the actual grim pantry, first of all, it's the most boring building to look at visually, second of all, it's MISERABLE if your playing killer. It's like house of pain but requires more skill at the benefit of being much more predictable for survivors. I loath this map, a total waste of resources from the devs. If the devs were trying to make the map scary, I guess they succeeded, because every time I look at this map, it makes me feel the deepest of despair.

The RNG on Swamp structures is all over the place. You have no idea what to expect walking beneath dock or pantry. And on the pantry's upper floor, getting a window on the front (or back) instead of the sides is crazily strong. Hooks, hatch, totems, gens - they're all over the place with no rhyme or reason. God have mercy on you if you're playing Plague, or playing against Pig, because those spawns are going to be flat against the walls. And the lighting combined with the tall reeds everywhere makes it so hard to see.
Swamp is just brutally unpleasant no matter what side you're playing. At least we have bouncy envelopes there.

You didn’t even mention the most fun parts! Two dedicated totem spawns and gens wide out in the open with no nearby resources. Both swamp maps are practically gen locks before any generators are even repaired.
I wish the swamp maps were disabled until they were reworked for the better.

I hate the swamp maps. I’ve been getting them a lot lately

I love the Swamp maps. Always have, even when they were huge. The atmosphere is fantastic. I even love the reeds. Can't count how many times they've saved me because Killers will lose you in them if they aren't paying attention. Not to mention the laughs when I see that Claudette crouched in between them and give them a good slap.
Too much fun! Also home of the Hag, who is the most beautiful creature in the game.

The totems are pure ridiculousness. You always have those two herp derp right next to the trees in the center of the map, and then you'll have others that are squirreled away in the corners of the map that no sane player would ever tread. Whether it's a hex or a boon, dealing with those ones is a nightmare.
And I'd forgotten about the gens smacked straight in the middle of no-man's-land. There's also almost always a tight 3-gen around shack on Grim Pantry. Swamp's the only map where I've seen a gen in the actual corner of the map. It's just insane. I'm desperately hoping its rework is more than a graphical one.

I hate both of the Swamp maps and can't go without getting it at least once in all of my matches. Grim Pantry is the worst of the two because the huge dead zone and gens that spawn in the middle of the map. Not to mention the pantry itself is one big infinite loop with a lot of pallets (The Pale Rose boat has the same issue too).

It's also a swamp, so it's brown. And it's full of reeds, so it's low visibility brown! Slightly less annoying than Coldwind is about the visibility and monotonous view, but it's something.
If I wanted to stare at mud, I'd be sitting outside.

I don't like none of the Swamp maps, they aged bad.
Fortunately they are going to be reworked this year maybe. The next is Haddonfield and after Haddonfield the only two remaining realms are Swamp and Red Forest.

I used to think the Swamp was just barely acceptable.
Then I became a Blight main.

So... I'm not going to claim that Swamp is a good realm... But at least I can tell where I am, can see where I'm going, and don't have trouble getting there. That's a lot more than I can say about RPD.

I can't see where I am going on that map, personally. I can see where I am going on RPD, but I have the other 2 problems. Rofl.

"I can see where I'm going" Oh boy, if only you played hag on that map, you'll feel like a bug crawling through grass.

Feels like any time I play on Swamp is the first time I'm playing on Swamp again. The vault spawn RNG is what really messes with me. Grim Pantry sucks too. Why does the open entrance and the vault entrance feel randomized??
Still, at least I can ######### see on it. That's more than can be said for Dead Dawg.
