Design & Path

Pier Pressure takes place at a pier located in a city. The pier itself has a carnival, which contains various attractions like a Ferris wheel, drop tower, bouncing house and carousel. Multiple stores, benches, trash cans and tables can be found. There are also a few advertisements, some of which contain images showcasing other maps. At the back of the carnival, there is a large building with a parking lot, which has multiple Police vehicles, ambulances and other cars parked there. The whole carnival is blocked by a barricade, cutting off the access to the colorful city. The path begins at the entrance of the large building, which has multiple purple vines coming out of it, and ends at a yellow portal. The path itself is formed in the shape of a plus sign. It avoids various buildings placed on the pier.

Rewards

The game calculates how many Coins Coins, Gems Gem and you receive based on how many waves you survived and if you won a match. During periods of 100% more (Friday – Sunday), any earned is multiplied by 2x through the XP Boost modifier. The VIP gamepass also multiplies any earned by 1.25x through the VIP Boost modifier. These two boosts are additive. Regular boosts are multiplicative with other modifiers present on this map. Any rewards that end in a decimal point is rounded down, no matter the first figure of the leading decimal.

Strategy

Due to Pier Pressure's sharp, rigid turns, Melee towers such as the Warden, Slasher and Assassin will serve quite an effective use. Due to the 180 degree full turn this map takes in order to face the exit, towers with long range such as the Ranger, Mortar, and Sniper will be able to almost constantly keep enemies in their range, this helps for enemies that have a fast walkspeed such as the Fallen Tank, Molten Mech and Necrotic Skeleton.

Patch history

The name of this map is a pun on the term "peer pressure". The map is inspired by the Navy Pier, also known as the Chicago Pier. It is a pier on the shoreline of Lake Michigan, located in the Near North Side community area in Chicago, Illinois. The main building and the Ferris wheel on this map is also based on the pier's main building and the Navy Pier wheel. Pier Pressure contains various advertisements on the ground which are either blank or reference other maps made by Your_Adversary. The ad with the buildings references Cyber City, as that map contains various tall buildings and a pair of eyeballs watching over the map. The yellow body is Gilded Path, as the entity shown on the ad is the corpse of the Gold Titan. The lighthouse is Lighthaos, the lighthouse seen on the ad is the same as the one present on that map. The single eyed beast is an ad for Petulance Ground, an unreleased map. The object shown on the ad specifically is the various cliffs present on the map. The brown wooden bridge is Dusty Bridges, as the bridges in that map are held by red ribbons. At the time of Pier Pressure release, this was not known, as the updated map had not been teased. The last advertisement, a black realm with a single enemy that looks somewhat like the Withered is a reference to a map that has not been made public yet. One of the signs for the stores features Lord Exo on it.
