Sky Scratcher

**Sky Scratcher** is a map in Shell Shockers. When the map was first added in Version 0.26.4, it was in the private map pool. It was moved to the public map pool in Version 0.27.3 but was added back once again to the private map pool in April 2021 in Version 0.39.5. It was added back to the public map pool in Version 0.40.0 in June 2021. The map was the tallest map in the game at the time when released, but it has lost its title over time. Still, the map is one of the tallest map in the game. The map is for around 18 players to battle in. The map is kind of symmetrical, but inverted but not quite.

## Features

The map is quite complex with multiple layers, but has four main layers that are not connected by a ladder nor a staircase. There is a outer ring around the map with staircases going up and into the middle tower. The middle tower is a big tower with a ladder connecting the top floor with the ground floor and that ladder is the tallest ladder in the game! When you are on the ladder, do not just blindly climb up it. You have a decent chance of getting sniped and if there is an RPEGG looking at you, you *must* jump down or else there is almost a 100% chance that you are going to die. Instead, look for nearby eggs on other floors and try to kill them.

### Outer Ring

The four outer rings are identical to each other and all connect the middle tower with a bridge. The top of the stairs is a good place to camp as it offers protection and you can sneakily snipe players at the tower. There is a very sneaky spot on the middle of the stairs which is a spawn point and offers decent protection. If you are camping on the outer ring, just make sure you son’s get backstabbed and be careful of players jumping off or higher floors. This area supports close-range weapons as well since you can sneak up to campers and kill. They connect to the main tower.

### Ground Floor

The ground floor is where most battles happen and you can access the middle tower and the outer ring. The ground floor is also a good place to camp if you know the right place to camp. Around the stairs has a sneaky spot. Lots of ammo are here. Watch out for sniper players above you. If there are big battles, you can drop grenades when they are distracted. At the bottom of the latter has a curve though. You grenade will not move to where you want it to be if you drop it at the foot of the ladder.

### Second and Third Floor

The second and third floors are just platforms that overhang and sometimes a spawn point. Some players will choose to snipe here as sneak-ups are hard to do here because the area is small.

### Top of Middle Tower (Fourth Floor)

The top of the middle tower (fourth floor), is a good place to camp as you get a view of the whole map and snipe from. If you are playing in teams or Capture The Spatula, (Mostly apply for Capture The Spatula) you can camp here as a team since if done correctly no one will be able to get up here if you use long-range weapons. It’s useful for all classes because the snipers and RPEGG players can shoot from there and the other four classes can jump down and attack. On the top there are also flags for team spawn points. Check that if you are spawn camping. This area is also a great choice if you are playing on Capture The Spatula mode and you have the spatula.
