Overview[]

Oil Rig is a Simple map created by V_eeer. It appears to take place on a Oil Rig in the middle of a vast ocean. This map that consists of a long path with many curves that eventually leads into a helipad. It is a Simple difficulty map, meaning that the player receives 5% less rewards playing this map. As a result, it is not recommended to play this map, unless playing on higher difficulties Expert Mode or Endless Mode.

Design[]

As the name suggests, Oil Rig takes place on an large Oil Rig, specifically an Offshore Oil Platform. There are several buildings, pallets, and tanks around the map. There is a green walkway that covers the perimeter of the map, connecting to several stairways that lead underneath the surface. In the middle of the map, there is a large oil drill with a burning methane torch at the top. A large number of red, blue, and green shipping crates cover the map, forming ground and blocking a green walkway. The path begins at a building disconnected from the main structure, follows the green walkway around the perimeter of the map, and ends at a helicopter at a far corner of the map.

The map is surrounded by a vast ocean which can only support Warships. It is currently the biggest body of water in the game, as it can hold the up to 32 Warships.

Tips[]

  • Due to the map having a lot of curves, it is recommended to bring high range towers.
    • When placing Laser Gunners, it is best to get the top path, as it has a lot of range and high DPSDPS.
  • Placing Warship in this map is a good idea, as if done correctly there can be 32 Warships and their base range will encompass the entire rig itself.
    • This is recommended on Endless Difficulty, as it's long and difficult nature means the player can take advantage of the vast amount of water provided to get a large number of Warships.
    • Placing a 2-5 Warship under the helipad allows for top path Farms to take advantage of the "1% cash of nearby towers per crate" bonus with little to no assistance to max out.
    • Due to having much less range, bottom path warships should be prioritized closer to the map, with top path warships placed near the outskirts of the map.
      • Top path Warships should be rotated so that the full ship is parallel to the rig to ensure that all of it's weapons are attacking.

Trivia[]

  • Oil Rig was the first map to show stealth zombies as seen in this video.
  • Oil Rig was one of the 4 maps playable during the April Fools release of 2023.
  • The helicopter located on the helipad does not have a tail rotor.
  • The map has many pieces of machinery that consist of digging for oil, hence the name Oil Rig.
  • Oil Rig is the most popular and selected map for Expert Mode because of the Warship commonly used in this map.
    • This is possibly the reason why the difficulty for this map changed from Easy to Simple.
    • It is also very popular in Endless Mode for the same reason.
  • Oil Rig's icon and thumbnail shows an older version of the map.
