Kill Switch update: We have temporarily Kill Switched the Forgotten Ruins Map due to an issue that causes players to become stuck in place. The Map will remain out of rotation until this is resolved.

Ormond Mine

Hey all,

I wondered if anyone knows what kind of rotation they have set for the Ormond Mine map. I ask because I have only gone to the map twice in the last three to four weeks of playing DBD, while all the other maps seem to be in regular rotation.

Is anyone else experiencing never going there?

    Have you been seeing alot of map offerings? I've been using sac ward about every game just because map offerings are being used in around half my lobbies.

    It depends if the Map Selection Logic goes Realm → Map → Variation or if all of the variations are treated as separate maps to choose from.

    If it's the latter, then you'd only have a 1/4 chance to go to Ormond Mine if you got Ormond as a realm, which would suck.

    Oh I'll tell you why.

    Because SOMEONE decided it was a great idea to make variants for each map in the game I guess, and gave Ormond 3 variants of the same map EVEN though the Lake Mine was in the works. (You can't tell me that they didn't know about adding it when they made the variants, it was not that long ago.)

    So even if you go to Ormond with an offering, you don't get the map.

    Last time I got it was the Christmas event. I always get Lodge instead. I get there's a lot of maps but I could get both sides of RPD in the same day. Ormond mines is a cool map but I mean even when people brought the offering still was Lodge so no idea if it's a bug or just dbd not wanting you to play the map

    1 in 100 games I get Ormond Mine and if it's Ormond I get the original 99% of the time

    I stopped using map offerings because I got sent to Ormand more often than the Lake Mine.

    I wish they had a queue that only sent you to Lake Mine for a weekend. There is a part on the map where you can strategically fall down, and I've been really wanting to practice what I've seen other streamers do on the map. So much potential for good pathing.

    I was just thinking this last night when I was playing. I know Ormond Lake Mine’s spawn logic was adjusted when it first came out because players didn’t like the boosted map frequencies of the new maps. But it is a map I would love to play on more often. I used three ormond offerings last night and of the two that went through both maps spawned lodge.

    It’s been extremely rare for me as well. I’m fine with that though - I really don’t like the map much on either killer or survivor side. Although I’ll take it 1000x over RPD or Hawkins

    It's because they gave Ormond resort the additional variants, so even using a map offering only gives you a 1/4 chance of getting the minesite. I've very rarely seen it either, see plenty of the resort though. And I'm pretty sure I didn't imagine it but they also changed the repeat map prevention to a repeat realm prevention, so your chances of seeing it dropped even more.
