Sinkhole

Overview
Sinkhole is one of the new maps added in the 5/3/22 update. It is used in TDM and DM games.

Sinkhole is one of the first maps to have water, which will affect everything that it touches. It will drastically reduce your movement speed, and affect the weapons you shoot. The Flamer, being fire-based, is completely useless in water, as it will be put out before any damage can be done almost instantly, doing only very low damage at extremely close range. The Link Gun, however, is affected the least, and works very well underwater.

Aside from that, the upper and side zones that are not submerged feature soft wooden structures and an upper metal area which you can stand on.

Strategies

 * Sinkhole is a very hard map to work with, and the water only makes it worse. It is very hard to camp here, and even Barrett fire is reduced to basically nothing underwater. Basically avoid the water if you can.
 * If you must play underwater, using a Link Gun is recommended because they are completely unaffected by water.

Trivia

 * Balls are not buoyant and will go underwater, despite being theoretically filled with air. This was later fixed.
 * Oddly enough, Laserguns are also useless underwater for an unknown reason. The rest of the energy-based firearms (X75, Pulse Gun, etc.) are still affected, but are also still playable.
