Volcano 4k

The Volcano (Formerly Wailing Woods) was an Unnamed Landmark in Battle Royale added in Season 8, located inside the coordinate H3 and H4, west of Tomato Temple, southeast of Sunny Steps, southwest of Lazy Lagoon, north of Retail Row, northwest of Lonely Lodge and northeast of Dusty Divot. It was added in Season 8, destroying the Container Yard, hence the containers strewn about the outside of the Volcano, as well as a part of Wailing Woods. It contained The Prisoner's lair and a lot of lava, the inside also included the eggs previously found in Polar Peak. It seemed to be the biggest climbable area on the map. It was a large part of the map and seemed to rival Polar Peak.

Volcano Vents[]

Volcano Vents are spread all across the map. In Season 9, most of them stopped working except the ones near the Pressure Plant. In Season 10, the rest of them stopped working. There are no Volcano Vents, or any signs of them ever existing on the new map in Chapter 2 Season 1.

V9.00[]

  • The Volcano has been taken over by the government and updated and was renamed to Pressure Plant. It has also collapsed partially, probably because of the eruption.

Trivia[]

  • The Volcano Vents are close to the cracks from Season 7, however this may be a coincidence.
  • The Volcano is surrounded by dense jungle that provide bananas and coconuts.
  • The Volcano is the second location that replaced a location that was removed. It replaced Wailing Woods in Season 8 and was later replaced by Pressure Plant in Season 9.
  • During TheGrefg's Floor is Lava, a Volcano can be seen in the background erupting very often. Though it is not the same volcano, it is likely a nod to the season 8 Volcano.
  • Volcano can be found in Creative as an Island.
