Ring of Fire is an official map for the Hot Zone event.

Layout

The map's center lane has large bush clusters stretching across 2/3 of the map. A trio of cacti are found as well as L-shaped lakes. The map is open but has favorable locations.

Tips

• Brawlers will contest over the confined single-zone. Have a support sharpshooter handle enemies as they come in from the bush tips.
• Heavyweights have little or no protection on this map. The team bushes do not connect and can only be used defensively. Instead, use medium-ranged Brawlers which are far better in combat situations and are viable in a variety of scenarios.
• Brawlers playing aggressively should use the launch pads while enemies respawn. Once launched, Brawlers should stay locked in the zone until defeated or swapped with a more capable Brawler.
• Long-ranged Brawlers should use the right lane to catch Brawlers across the cacti. This leaves them more vulnerable to ambushes which their teammates should take care of however.
• Short to medium-ranged Brawlers should plan on entering enemy bushes as quickly as they can to protect fragile teammates capturing the zone.
• Pam is a good option for this map. Pam’s high HP makes her ideal for a variety of combat situations, and she can use her long range to fend off incoming enemies from a distance. If her Super is placed in the centre of the map, it can provide vital healing to allies inside the Hot Zone.
• Bo and Tara are great picks on this map entirely due to the large array of bushes presented on this map. Due to the one zone in this map, Bo and Tara's supers are especially great at zoning.
• Rico is another good option for this map. He can hide inside the bushes on the enemies' side and bounce his shots off the sides of the map to damage and hinder the enemies as they respawn, especially by chaining his Super.
• Tick can be useful as his bullets cover most of the centre part.
• Lou can be used as his super can cover most of the centre part.
