MAP: Twilight Gap

Layout

Sitting along the battered edge of the massive wall that rings the Tower and the City, the Traveler is visible hanging in the sky not far from the battlegrounds of Twilight Gap.

Twilight Gap is a fortified defensive structure and the site of a major battle against forces seeking to penetrate the City’s defensive line and devastate the Guardians’ last stronghold. Twilight Gap is a multi-level complex, built into a mountaintop. Parts of the level are outside the complex amongst the boulders and snow.

The structure itself consists of a “front” side business end with multiple cannons aimed into the distance. Behind the cannons, a series of loading arms and service catwalks makes up the multi-level support facility. There is also a small radar facility at the “back” of the map, which is connected to a cable car that leads back down to the City. The overall shape of the map is roughly rectangular, running end to end behind the cannons. The catwalks and the second floor of the facility add multiple levels of elevation from the front cannons to the rear radar building.

Tactics

Twilight Gap heavily rewards team play and severely punishes lone wolf assaults.

Because there are multiple routes (and multiple elevations) connecting almost any part of the map center, it is very easy to finish a fight and get ambushed from the flank or rear.

If you fight near teammates, even though you are still likely to draw attention, sometimes from an awkward angle, you have much better odds of coming out on top.

If you insist on running alone, stick to the edges of the map. The two outer areas in the rocks and trees and the radar room can all give you lines of sight and clean Motion Tracker reads on nearby foes.

When moving through the interior of the facility, don’t linger in any place that has multiple routes in and out. You want to get to an objective area or dislodge an enemy position and move on before reinforcements can arrive.

Motion Tracker

Motion Tracker reads can be rough on Twilight Gap. If you are anywhere in the middle of the map, your Motion Tracker can light up in a confused mass of red.

To dull the confusion, stick to the outer edges of the map, and when pushing through the middle, focus on the presence and rough direction of your opponents. Keep your eyes on the screen, not on the Motion Tracker.

With practice, determining enemy positions gets easier, but the multi-level nature of the center and the multiple routes never make it 100% against evasive and mobile adversaries. Learn to use the Motion Tracker to narrow down the likely options, rather than assuming that any are fully eliminated.
