Sharkbay publicity blurb

Sharkbay is a community-created King of the Hill map that was added with the Summer 2023 Update. It takes place in the harbor in New York, USA, with the main control point being on a boat named Iron Inkwell from Brisbane, Australia, docked between RED and BLU's wharves. A local newspaper seen on the loading screen, as well as various in-game signs, advertise an increased abundance of shark sightings in the area. There are various seagulls flying around the map.

Sharkbay was contributed to the Steam Workshop.

Locations

  • Dock: The spawn room and the area immediately outside of it. The spawn room itself contains an aquarium with a shark swimming in circles.
  • Wharf: The building between the Dock and the Iron Inkwell.
  • Transfer: The way between the team's Wharfs and flank to the stern of the Iron Inkwell, contains a medium health kit and ammo pack.
  • Gangway: The upper doorway has a gangway for walking out on to the ship's cabin, and the lower doorway leads to a wider gangway for boarding.
  • Iron Inkwell: A freighter with the control point on its deck.
  • Harbor: Shark-infested water.

Trivia

  • Appearing on the boat docked out in the Harbor, Orca is the name of the shark hunter boat in the movie Jaws.[1]
  • Underneath a bridge in the distance, a Heavy and a Sniper can be seen scared in a rowboat surrounded by sharks.
  • This map features a unique sign warning others of shark attacks in the area, which updates with each death to the sharks.
  • There are several frogs hidden around the map.
  • The Iron Inkwell uses the Tide Turner as its steering wheel.
  • There is a bathroom in the RED Wharf, one for hat-wearing moustached men and one for Hatless Commoners. Behind the door for the hat-wearing moustached men is a wooden cutout of a cow wearing a Safe'n'Sound. Behind the other door are toilet stalls, one of which contains a frog.
