Ruins is one of the three possible second maps in Chapter 1. It is set in a desolate, crumbled city covered with plenty of vegetation. Access to this map in initially blocked and has to be unlocked with the Ruins Key from Oasis. To clear this map, the player has to reach the ending and beat the boss. Alternatively, the player can choose to go through the secret exit without beating a boss.

Subareas

The map can roughly be divided into 8 subareas:

• the entry area where the player spawns
• the first half of the map where the main combat happens
• the Old Sewers secret area with the door to Scrapyard
• the break area with the deployable bots
• the second half of the map where the main combat happens
• the corrupted challenge area in the second half
• the break area before the boss with a small selection of deployable bots
• the boss

Old Sewers

The Old Sewers is the secret area in this map. It is not locked per se, but rather blocked by an entry hazard of four laser grids making it technically possible to reach without interacting with the intended mechanics albeit at a high health cost. To disable the laser grids, the player has to interact with four hidden buttons in the orange area. Each button will permanently disable one laser grid. The Old Sewers is where the Tech Room Key is located as well as a BadBot Body which contains a Data Log upon first inspection and an Upgrade upon further inspections. Additionally, a chest with a guaranteed purple weapon can be found here. The door at the end leads to Scrapyard.

Next Maps

There are two potential next maps available from Ruins: going through the map and beating the boss leads to Fields, while going through the Old Sewers leads to Scrapyard. And while the entry to Scrapyard does not require beating a boss, finishing it does require beating the Elite Gang.
