Does anyone even like swamp?
I’m just genuinely curious is there anyone who thinks this map is either fun to play or well designed?

Not at all, the fog is SIGNIFICANTLY thicker than that of any other map, hatch is impossible to find as either side and fat shaming spots everywhere. Not only that but the 2 maps have a layout that is too similar IMO.

Exactly how I feel about it

I like swamp. I don't like the map bugs they refuse to fix.

Let's pray it's next on the rework list. Or they might save it for next Mid-Chapter.

I played on swamp yesterday 8 times in a row as clown, and I honestly just shut down the game after that.

Nope. Concept-wise yes, but the gameplay is just... so weird. The outer part of the map is just awkward and I always get bad rng whenever I play on it.

I bet all those P3 blendettes love swamp, outside of those? nah noone

Mmm, I once had a 50 minute game on swamp vs 4 clauds. I literally just left, because they were down to 2, and I literally could not find them.
0 -
That's why I like Whispers.

I don't ever really run into the issue needing whispers, because generally I don't have an issue finding people, but clauds + swamp if they hide it's generally going to be impossible to find them without whispers.

I hate it as survivor because of the dead zones in the middle and how things get hidden there. I hate it as killer too, because it seems to attract the blendettes when I'm there and I personally can't see that well anyway.
0 -
I generally do not like the swamp maps but as a killer I do very well on these maps for some reason so I dont mind going to them.
0 -
I like the concept, I hate the execution. I think it could use a rework, because as it is now, it's pretty miserable as both killer and survivor. It's the one .ap I actively try to avoid if possible

I love the swamp maps. Of the outdoor maps, they are one of the best choices for my Spooky Myers.
0 -
Yup! Those cattails are great to hide in :)
0 -
I like it on killer side because it's good for keeping totems hidden. Otherwise it's hell for both sides
0 -
I like the "splosh" footsteps noises. But thats it.

It's ok. Not one of my favorites and there are certainly worse ones.

I honestly thought there was only one swamp map until someone told me otherwise...
0 -
I was told there was a Shrek Easter egg there... Completely disappointed i couldn't find it. Terrible map. 0/10.

Honestly? I like the swamp more than a few other maps and the swamp being in the game makes it less likely I'll see the maps I really don't like.

I'm gonna be brutally honest and mean it in the absolute nicest way possible, but ######### swamp!
1 -
not really, kinda boring and lame to play on as killer
0 -
The swamp is pretty neutral for me. I generally try to avoid chasing inside/on the Pantry itself if I can because its a really strong structure, but other than that they're mostly fine. The fat shaming spots are annoying but don't happen often enough to be that bad.
Edit: I will say if I am on a shorter killer like Legion or Blight, I'm not a huge fan cause I'm eating swamp grass all game.

I love the "bowl" like design most of them have but how much the map varies from survivor sides to killer sided spawns is insane.
Endless loops spanning the entire middle of the map or 75%+ of the map is a dead zone.
Also that map might as well not have a hatch given that even with the last survivor having "left behind" to try to find the hatch's aura it still took 10 mins to end while I was sparing the bill.

I love it as Killer when it's not buggy. Low amount of pallets and the gens are usually close together.
0 -
It's a terrible map, and the map tiles on it are really weird.
0 -
Nah I've always hated it
0 -
I don't mind it.
Mostly because half my Bubba games end up being on Grim Pantry. Main buildings are pretty strong, but there's a lot of dead zones and mind-gameable pallets.
My biggest complaint about the swamp maps is that they have some of the worst totem spawns in the game. Survivors always seem to find the totems on the corners of the map and both swamp maps have a particularly heinous totem spawn location next to a boulder that is literally visable across the entire map. Gods help you if your Ruin spawns there.

It is my MOST hated map even more so than haddonfield it just sucks to get as either role.
Like unless you are a blendette have you EVER said "Yes lets go! we got swamp" because i always feel dread when i get a swamp map.
0 -
I generally like the swamp maps, but I don't like that they've gotten full of fat shaming spots lately. I also just give up on finding hatch if I load into one.

It's my absolute least favourite outdoor map to play on. Maybe that's just me being a nurse main though.

Swamp is up there when it comes from hating maps for me. Hate it for both sides
Bad rng can make deadzones for survivors.
Hatch spawns on literal edges of the map.
Totems spawns are either bad or spawn on map edges.
The docks are very confusing for both sides.
Collision for certain loops can be janky, can't forget the tiny shrimp boat.

I like swamp. As killer and survivor I've always done well on both maps. Only time I hate the swamp is playing Blight. He just slides off of the trees.
1 -
As survivor I don't mind it. As killer I can tolerate Pale Rose but I don't care for Grim Pantry.

It's actually one of my favorite locations. The atmosphere as a whole brings more of a horror vibe than any of the other maps imo. Leary's is great as well with the rework they did to it, but I find myself enjoying the Swamp more on both sides.
It used to be awful for Killers because the maps were enormous, but now that they've shrunk them a bit, I find it better balanced.
Survivors also have something of a choice on them. You can scout the edges, maybe find some totems, but most of the action is in the middle.
Those cattails have given me more of a rush than any other scenery in the game. I can't count the number of times I've either "won" a chase or simply avoided a Killer's gaze by crouching in them. It's a lot easier to juke a Killer on the Swamp maps, at least for me, than any of the others, and I don't loop. I find that gameplay boring AF. I don't play this game as a NASCAR simulator.
There's also a lot of interesting mechanics on the map itself. Gates that open when you finish gens, the unique noise of those crows, the horn on the boat. Really helps to make the environment a bit more immersive. I wish they would do things like this for more maps. The Game really set the standard for interactivity, but they seem to have backed off of that in favor of more static things. Like the cage rattler on the Lab.

I don't like it, but is not my most hated map.

I love swamp. Balanced map for the most part. I know the totem spawns. I look forward to graphical updates.
0 -
One of the better maps for both sides in my opinion.
1 -
I like it.
Fog is a good thing, because i think stealth should be an option, even if lots of players dont like it. The only bad thing is the "fat shaming"-spots, they need to be reworked.
1 -
Not on either side no

i used to hate swamp when I started playing. We played mostly on 2 man swf then and my partner just used the swamp offerings all the time and it became a running gag that we pretended to like the map... until we actually liked it.
didn’t encounter those invisible walls yet though. But those are not specific only for swamp either..
also I have high hopes for the update!
0 -
the only people i know that like the swamp are P3 Claudettes, and because they're P3 Claudettes their opinion is immediately invalid

There is always 1 Gen at the edge map, 1 Gen on 2nd floor (building or boat). And if lucky, there is 1 Gen on the wooden wharf . Bad luck, there are 2 Gen on it, its pretty much 2-3 free Gen.
As Trapper main, this is the only realm that traps spawn at the edge map, waste another 10sec to pick it up.
0 -
it might sounds weird but you could report them for keeping game hostage (if they didnt tried to touch gen for over 10min)
0 -
I largely like it. It has some issues but the fact that neither side is amazing on it is a pretty good thing imo. I like the theme of it and would love to have another swamplike map honestly

The Pale Rose is fine in my opinion, but Grim Pantry is just pure evil.
0 -
Saddest map to miss hatchets at, the terrain mocks you with a funny plop sound every time.
