LORE
Still worshipped by the first settlers of New Japan on planet Reach, this ancient gold infused water treatment facility has been said to hold the key to eternal youth.

With dwindling reserve and a non-functioning facility the settlers turned to ONI for help, thinking only they had the resources for such a task. ONI had different plans.

They immediately began retrofitting the installation with human technology to try and harness its secrets...

GAMEPLAY
Works with ALL Arena gametypes (including assault). Gilded Sanctum is a horseshoe shaped map with three elevations, two lifts on either end shorten theoretical distance to combat and teleporting between bottom and top add tons of options for the players.
The spawns have each team begin at the end of the hallway, you have the option of running forward toward the center where you will find the shotgun and Overshield or you can take the immediate stairs and find a Battle Rifle in each corner.
The third (and most exciting) option is the teleporter directly behind the initial spawn which brings you to the "basement" level of the treatment facility where you will find the other teams portal directly in front of you and more importantly the Beam Rifle. From the basement you can lift back up to the second level "yard" bridge or portal back to either base.

This map is focused on Arena Slayer, Strongholds, and Oddball for 2v2-6v6 combat.

AUTHENTICITY
金 - is The Japanese symbol for Gold and since the name of the map is Gilded Sanctum I placed this symbol at the top of the atrium right in the middle of the map.
