Now, moving onto business, we’re announcing our second mapping contest! There will be a follow up news post this Monday with a far more in-depth explanation about the contest and the theme. For now, a topline detail is we’ll be bringing to bare a 6,000$ prize pool for three lucky mappers or teams of mappers.
Keeping up the tone for the letter, here’s a look at recent maps produced by some of the most talented mappers that our community can bring to the table. All three that we’ll be featuring here are produced by mappers with a venerable histories as RoN Modders.
As usual, the mods are not presented in any particular meaningful order, they’re simply numbered for the sake of organization and conversation.
1. Office Offensive by DecoyMoth
Playing to their strengths, DecoyMoth has made yet another beautifully constructed map that forces players into incredibly tight spaces, challenging either the communication of even the most experienced team or the most veteran lone operative. A prime example of a simple concept done exceptionally, it stands out among much more complex layouts and projects.

2. Hell comes to the Hills by Delta
Coming from a modder whose diligence has helped many a mapper break in or take their modding to the next level, Delta delivers a map that they documented the construction on their YouTube channel. You can check it out to learn everything you could want to know about the map or give you an excellent starting point for your own mapping journey!
Provenance aside, the excellent atmosphere combined with the immaculate presentation features an open layout that’s both what one would expect in a realistic high-end home and one that presents danger to teams that linger in one space for too long.

3. A Florida Man – A Trailer In Darkness by StentheAwesome
Taking the notorious reputation of the infamous ‘Florida Man’ and turning it up to 11, StentheAwesome flexes his technical expertise by including features not often seen to this degree in modded maps, such as the ability to move members of your team to the opposite side of the map for double-entry, the ability to enter through windows, making excellent use of the games sound system. and much more.
The map layout itself is also nothing to shake a stick at, presenting a dangerously open approach with cramped, cluttered quarters and a dangerously cluttered back yard if any of the suspects manage to retreat.

Going forward, we can’t wait to see what else the community brings to the table as we update the game to give modders more functionality to play with and as they improve their own work.
