Grinder

grinder is a map in item asylum. It was added in the v0.4.0 update. By default, its game mode is set to FFA.
==Overview ==
The map is comprised of two rooms. The central room, and a small hallway that leads from one end of the central room to the other. Both are made up of concrete walls with a single green stripe near the floor. Both maps contain green metal shelves seen in front of the walls. Each room is lit with fluorescent lighting on the walls.
In the V7.0 Christmas update, it was temporarily renovated and was given Christmas decorations, with the green lining changed to red and much of the pipes and bar handles being tinted green. All shelves are filled with Christmas presents and the door on the left is colored green with red borders. Christmas wreaths can also be seen in each entrance/exit.
===Central Room===
The central room is comprised of the main floor, and a higher up area which can reached by the stairs or by jumping on the shelves. On the player's top view will they see a large pipe connected to both ends.
The higher up area consists of little to no props, aside from a metal fence near the edge, except for the stairs and a single broken fence in between. There is also an inaccessible door at the player's left
=== Hallway===
The small hallway consists of the only props being shelves. The hallway is accessed by one of the two empty passages leading to the central room, creating a loop from one to another.
==Environmental Hazards==
In the center of the room is a grinder. Most of the grinder is covered by a metal grate, but one end has metal fences surrounding it, and the other has the metal grate broken.
Jumping into the hole made by the broken grate will cause the player to ragdoll and go down a stream of water into the grinder, where they're shredded up into pieces and die instantly.
==Strategy ==
The grinder is set as the main mechanic for the map, and therefore, can effect the player's experience depending on their goals. As an opponent, the player should avoid the grinder to prevent themselves from getting killed, this can be done by moving to areas that are typically out of reach from the grinder, such as the hallways. Otherwise, the grinder can also be a useful tool when gaining kills, especially in out of reach areas of the mechanic. The most preferred weapons are ones that can cause knockback and ones with large range.
The shelves can also be used for additional cover and to avoid conflict.
==Trivia==
*Juggernauts can still be ragdolled in the grinder’s water despite having ragdoll immunity.
