PvP Maps

**PvP Maps** are the primary map type within versions of the Flash-based and HTML5-based Bonk.io's. By definition, these maps involve gameplay where players are encouraged to collide with each other directly, to thrown each other off the map itself, into a deadly shape, or to fight over a Capture Zone.

## History

#### **Former Flash-based Bonk.io**

Being originally the only maps available during Gish Command Map Era briefly after the Flash-based Bonk.io was first launched, PvP maps have always been the dominant map type present within versions of Bonk.io, being at the time the only option. At the time, players were only able to push each other off the map, rather than being able to fall into a deadly shape or fill a Capture Zone likewise to today. Although there was also maps that were loosely Weapon Maps at the time, such as Overhead by Official, they were still primarily PvP based.

However, other map types such as Race / Parkour Maps emerged and types of Weapon Maps grew away from being PvP based. During the following months, the addition of the deadly shape and later the Capture Zone were added within the Flash-based Bonk.io, allowing for new forms of PvP maps to be created, and collision options, as well as allowing for other map types to grow as well.
A few months later, the map listing known as Chaz's Picks was first launched in late August 2016 and was built upon for the following months, where every map that was ever featured within it was primarily a PvP Map. Maps that were featured within the listing quickly shot up in popularity as a result, in large part causing for the Top Rated list to be dominated by them.

Replaced by the Community Picks at the same time, the majority of maps within Chaz's Picks were brought over into the new listing, with all but one map, being Hurdles Easy by MuadDib were all primarily PvP Maps, continuing this effect.

#### **HTML5-based Bonk.io**

During the course of development of the HTML5-based Bonk.io, PvP maps have in large part remained an important part within the new version. However, with a heavier focus within Race / Parkour Maps, such as Parkour Floors 2, along with Weapon Maps, such as the Deathball Copy Trend and Death Arrow Arenas, PvP maps have been in large part been put as generally equivalent to other map types within the game. Even with this, all Quick Play rotations within the HTML5-based Bonk.io are composed of either mostly or completely composed of PvP based maps at this time. The addition of the Arrow Modes as a whole has also taken an impact on the PvP map type, allowing for weapons to be shot within an otherwise PvP based map, leading to it oftentimes becoming a combination of the two.
