Woodshed Bend

Woodshed Bend is a “Medium” map—smaller than Chapel Hill, bigger than Bloody Creek.

Inspired by the classic CoD2 map Beltot, this farm village packs a creek that floods through the middle and sheds that’ll slow your step when the water rises.

Add in rolling hills and groves, and you’ve got the perfect recipe for long-range firefights. Bring the suppression, bring the teamwork, and fight for every inch.

Zoop and Friends

Big thanks to Zoop and his community for jumping into the Woodshed Bend playtest. I met Zoop through a colleague. He himself used to dominate in Fortnite, and his gamer community includes competitive players and a few streamers. They joined our regular crew, pushed the map to its limits, and gave us some excellent feedback along the way.

Watching everyone tear it up and have fun was exactly what we hoped for. Thanks, Zoop and squad, for helping us out!

You can see more of the playtest on our Twitch, and be sure to check out Zoop and his friends Mythakel, MeowMein, and louiielouiee, for streaming content.
