Hideout (originally Groundhog Burrow) is an official map for the Bounty and Wipeout events.

Layout[]

The map features 2 clumps of fences, one with grass on each side. There is also more grass after the fences, along with 4-by-5 walls with grasses at the middle of the map. The side lanes are mostly barren. The map is diagonally symmetrical.

Tips[]

  • Throwers can use the walls to handle enemies hiding in the nearby bushes. Sprout might have an advantage in this map due to its unique projectiles provided that the rest of the team can force the enemy into the walls. However, do consider that because of the walls, Sprout's projectiles will bounce, so crucial aim is necessary. Tick may be a viable alternative.
  • Penny and her mortar can be great for enemies who are standing still waiting for an opportunity. Bushes should be destroyed whenever possible, where her Pocket Detonator Gadget can help.
  • The right lane of the map can be used by sharpshooters and other long-ranged Brawlers to pressure enemies hiding near the large wall.
  • The left lane is more fit for short to medium-ranged Brawlers. Short-ranged Brawlers have to gamble with the fact that they'll lose their protection once the cacti are destroyed.
    • If your team is not negatively impacted from the loss of the cacti, take priority in destroying them.
  • An excellent Brawler is Spike as his attack can spread out spikes and check the bushes. With his Curveball Star Power, the spikes provide more area denial. Note that having a Spike in your team means that you should also have a Brawler to supplement Spike, such as Dynamike or Tick, because Spike's low health makes him vulnerable.
  • Barley is also a great choice because his attack, Super, and Sticky Syrup Mixer Gadget can all keep enemies away. If possible, Barley should be kept behind cover at all times.
  • Sharpshooters, such as Belle, Brock, or Piper, can take control on the side lines, since they are mostly open.
