The map focuses heavily on rooftop combat and clipping is very lenient. One of the mottos when making this map was "clip only if you have to," so areas like the far off islands, the roof tops, hiding spots are free game.

Suijin is a community-created King of the Hill map released with the Gun Mettle Update. It is set on the site of a Shinto shrine, built atop a Japanese cliffside with cascading waterfalls and sakura trees in full bloom.

Suijin was the first map made with the Japan Content Pack.

A portion of the money made from the sales of the Gun Mettle Campaign Pass goes to the authors of the map.

Suijin was contributed to the Steam Workshop.

Locations

Note: If you are having trouble with finding the locations listed here, see the Helpful overview section to see their exact position marked on the map.

  • Temple Tower: At the center of the map is a large tower that houses the control point inside. The tower is open on three ends on ground level, and has a second level that can only be accessed via the rooftops. Two Byōbus are aligned along the control point as cover from the doors.
  • Calligraphy Temples: By the waterfalls on the mountainside are two team oriented temples. Both temples contain a medium Health and Ammo kit. Both temples are connected at the center with a platform, holding a small Health kit, and bridge to the control point.
  • Rooftops: All of the rooftops of the temples are accessible, providing high ground to shoot down on opponents and shortcuts to further parts of the map. Rooftops can be accessed by climbing the plank ramp near each team's calligraphy temple, from the Cliffside Temple's second floor, or by Rocket and Sticky jumping.
  • Bamboo Buildings: Small enclosed buildings accessible by walking forward out of each spawn. Walking further forward past a torii gate leads to a bridge connecting to Temple Tower.
  • Cliffside Temple: At the edge of the cliff is a temple containing two medium Health kits. The temple can be reached from a bridge at the side of Temple Tower over the cliff, or from each team's side by exiting the Bamboo Building from the left and following the rock path, which involves jumping across several cliff drops. The second floor of the temple can be used as a shortcut to reach Temple Tower.
  • Far islands: Past the edge of the cliff are two small rock islands. Jumping classes can reach them, but Engineers cannot build on them.

  • Made the platform out the back of the cliffside building a little bigger.
  • More caustics.
  • Brightened the cliffside building.
  • Brightened the area under the waterfall.

さくら

  • Unclipped the far stone pillar, I see no reason why it should be clipped as getting out there is putting you at a disadvantage and consistency is better than clipping.

a7:

  • Swapped the small health in the cliff building with the medium health.
  • Nobuilded rooves due to popular opinion.
  • Players are blocked from leaving spawn until round start.
  • More detailing.
  • Remade the cliffside building.

a6:

  • Modelled bridges.

  • Added small health to the cliff building.
  • Welcome camera and a spectator point.

a4:

  • Removed the fence that blocked the sightline down the back of the map, replaced it with some rocks that block the route instead.
  • Prettied up some bridges.
  • Added areaportals to all the buildings.
  • Repositioned the rocks near the inland ramp to the rooves so that the ramp is far more visible.

a3:

  • Some more ammo.
  • Switched the medium health and medium ammo below, hopefully indirectly nerfing the height of the map.
  • Added another waterfall, because waterfalls are cool.
  • Modelled Torii's.

a2:

  • Changed the rock near the back of the map so it doesn't hide the ramp up to the roof as much.
  • Removed force from kill trigger.
  • Stairs are clipped!
  • Fixed the place where you could get stuck.
  • Blocked a sight gap.
  • Added a fence to block one of the longest sightlines.
