Whats your opinion of Gideon pallet factory?

*PALLET PACKING PLANT*

depends which role you play, very different answers 😂 I dont even think theres a debate to be had here lol

It is great map for Nemmy. All i need to make him tier 2, that's all. And plus there is not so much vaults or high walls, so it is easy to hit them with whip.

Awesome map for Pallet-Freddy 🥰

Quite balanced in terms of kills/escapes, horribly balanced around fun/enjoyment.

The biggest downfall for killers who lose on the map, is that they have learned from other maps that quite a lot of pallets are mindgamable.

But a lot of people forget that survivors have access to a lot of windows on other maps. Windows you cant break, windows you cant really mindgame. Windows that you have to force the survivor to use 3 times in a short timespan so it gets blocked and you can get a hit in. The game only has 5 windows that have some use: The T&L in the corner of the map(often a last ditch effort for survivors), the dropchute(an annoying window, but once the pallet downstairs is gone, its almost always a free hit), the window in the icebox, which is the most used window of them all, and quite easy to chase in, and finally the jungle gym next to the basement, but oddly isnt used that much. Then you have 2 windows that people often forget exist: one next to an exitgate, and one in the double pallet room upstairs. If you can get away from a chase without being hit using those windows, you've deserved it.

So this is basically how you play on The Game: Push survivors as close to basement as possible, force pallet drops, dont try to mindgame them, bruteforce them. Its fine to get stunned and break them as long as you get rid of it, if they refuse to drop, its a free hit. Once you're happy with the amount of pallets dropped, even if they dont get injured, approach from the opposite side of the map and push the next survivor in. This one will definitely get injured and get rid of the remaining pallets that are still in the area. If they try to greed, bam, you down them close to the basement.

Since you've been in that area a lot, generators surrounding the basement will have little to no progress, and since all usable pallets are gone, they cannot enter the basement without trading hooks.

Once you realize you WANT those pallets down asap, and see a possibility of 2 pallets nearby being dropped quickly, you greed for the pallet being dropped again. Survivors might tbag, but they dont know what they have just done to themselves. You would need a genrush build with BNP's to compensate for the massive deadzone that gets created. Since you get frustrated less because you want the drops, you're also going to make less mistakes that happen due to frustration.

And sure, you're gonna dislike the first 1-5 games on The Game playing like this, because you probably never really cared for the layout, but once you eat those pallets for breakfast, know which areas to avoid(the T&L is opposite from the basement, utterly useless for your interests, no pallets that can be dropped) and odds are that your winrates improve.

Not that this is the solution to The Game, normally I do enjoy maps having specific oddities that you can use in your favor, like Midwich and Trapper, sounds like a horrible combo untill you've realized the bathroom is a death trap for survivors. But untill they either add a second form of pallet. Personally, I like the idea of one that bounces back up and gets blocked for 3 minutes, so you can only use it to stun the killer, but it wont block the killer for another 3 minutes, the best part would be that Spirit Fury would still break these pallets. Survivors would get 2 seconds of haste if they succeed, and 2 seconds of hindrance if they fail.

Strong

like many maps this one needs rework. I mean I get it, theres very few windows, and the ones that exist are terrible (im looking at u Freezer loop) so they compensate with pallets.

But its a lot. Just trade some pallets for some decent jungle gyms and it’ll be ok
