Description

Visuals

Meadows is set in a lush wildflower meadow surrounded by a mountain range. The only man-made structures visible outside the map's boundaries are a dirt path, a few wooden signs, and a metal drawbridge far out in the distance.

Layout

Meadows is a tiny, open map, with its boundaries marked by a square wood fence; the fence can actually be jumped over, but attempting to leave the map will result in rapidly taking damage. There is a large, steep hill in the center of the map with a tunnel cutting through the middle and two curved inclines on either side leading to the top. The rest of the map is mostly flat, aside from a few rocks, trees, and tree stumps. There are also destructible crates scattered around the outskirts of the map and near the trees.

Pickups

There are several armor pickups placed on most of the boulders, as well as a health pickup at the base of both of the inclines leading to the top of the hill. The tallest boulder in the map has an ammo pickup perched on top. There is a super weapon pickup in the tunnel, and two normal weapon pickups in two opposite corners of the map.

The CTF flags are placed in opposite corners of the map; more specifically, the two corners marked with metal poles.

Trivia

• Meadows is a returning map from GMod Tower. The layout is identical to the original, although the grass was more desaturated and there were much more flowers, which were also pure white, referencing the location of the final boss battle in Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater. The area surrounding the hill was emptier, lacking the wooden crates found in the Tower Unite version, and there were invisible walls surrounding the fences.
• A screenshot of Meadows shared in the Weekly Dev Log for August 23, 2023 shows a couple fireplaces placed in the outer edges of the playable area, each one surrounded by a red ring. These are not present in the current version of the map.
• Meadows' playable area is approximately the same size as a Canvas Cube set to 130x130 scale.
