Rift takes place on a volcano, inside of a futuristic military complex. Some of the maps are bright and even a little cartoonish, but this is definitely not that.
There are a lot of wallrun locations and options to let you get around the map using the new movement mechanics. You'll want to watch out because the floor is literally lava in many places. If you fall through, you will die.
This is a map where you will not avoid your enemy. Sure, you can try to flank, but the map designers call these "soft flanks" that will still push you into battles that force you to win to flank or die in place.
In the middle you should expect a very head on battle that continues the push to fight, fight fight. There are a lot of catwalks, but it is not clear how much you will use them. The latest image shows a lava pit that you might fall in during heated battle.
The video above walks through a hardpoint game on Rift and like many of the YouTubers with early access we learn that this is not the best map in the Eclipse DLC according to these players.
Expect to use a new wallrun option that allows you to be clever when you want to surprise the enemies, but it won't be easy.
