Perks publicity blurb

Perks is a community-created Arena map. It is set in a medieval town at night.

The map takes its name from its perks system: during the setup time of 30 seconds, the teams receive different sets of three randomly selected perks, which last until the end of the match. To vote, a player has to be near the desired perk when the setup timer reaches 0. The chosen perks are then displayed in a glass case before players are sent into the main portion of the map after 7 seconds. If no players in a team vote for a perk, the game randomly selects one for that team.

Perks was contributed to the Steam Workshop.
