Murderthon West Park Guide

West Park is one of Murderthon’s signature trial arenas—an outdoor Westcord Inc. grounds layout that mixes garage blocks, stair alcoves, dense vent lines, and open sight corridors. If you main Classes or Masks in the Roblox alpha, learning this map early pays off: Pierce, Jammed, and Lens all have strong debut lore and kit fantasies that lean into West Park’s teleports, cuff stalls, and camera information. This guide covers layout instincts, pallet scarcity, generator routing, chase tiles, where Lens cameras hurt, and how Handyman or Recon swing the park in your favor.

Pair it with looping fundamentals, getting started, and the killer guide so map knowledge sits on top of shared chase rules. Roster kits live on Masks; strength snapshots sit on the masks tier list. After the Mask of Slasher update, re-walk your favorite tiles once—alpha collision and vent fixes can quietly rewrite a “safe” corner.

Layout instincts: think in zones, not props

West Park reads cleaner when you stop memorizing every bush and start naming zones:

1. Garage / service blocks — Short walls, parked sight blockers, and stair alcoves. Great for breaking camera after a hit, terrible if you burn the only pallet and get pinned against a wall.
2. Park paths / open lawns — Transition ground. Scratch marks light up if you panic-sprint; crouch resets matter more here than on indoor maps.
3. Stair alcoves and overlooks — Vertical mind games. Masks with height advantage or ranged tools (Sheol cards, Lens cams) punish survivors who spam the same stair twice.
4. Vent spines — West Park is vent-dense compared with tighter indoor trials. That is a gift for survivors against M1 Masks and a nightmare when Divide Isolates or Lingers the pipe you wanted.
5. Generator islands — Repair nodes often sit near partial cover rather than god loops. Pierce loves incomplete gens here because teleport arrivals cut the long park crossings survivors use to “feel safe.”

Walk one custom or casual match as a tourist: no ego loops, just mark where you would drop a pallet, where you would vent, and where you would never stand still for a skill check.

How To Play West Park — Murderthon

Garage and stair alcoves

Garages and stair pockets are West Park’s identity. Use them to break line of sight, not to live forever.

• Enter a garage when the Mask is mid-swing or committed to a rush line, then exit a different doorway so scratch marks do not paint a U-turn.
• Stair alcoves buy one vault or one crouch reset. They are not infinite gyms. If the pallet is already gone, marathon toward the next structure instead of dancing on the landing.
• Against Sin, do not bait Mi Dolor on a stair that dumps you into open lawn—whiff punishment still hurts, but a connected rush through a short hallway can delete you before a teammate reacts.
• Against Fate, check floors near garage doorways; trap densest on the routes people take after a loud vault.

Handyman players should treat broken garage pallets as high priority rebuilds because those tiles are often the only soft cover between two generator islands.

Vent density and how to use it

West Park’s vent network is a primary chase breaker. That cuts both ways.

Survivor rules

• Vent after you already broke LOS or forced an ability, not as the first panic button in open park.
• Exit toward a secondary loop or a gen that still needs work—never into a courtyard Lens is watching.
• Crouch-scrub scratch marks on exit when the Mask is still nearby.
• Against Divide, fake the vent approach, hold the tile, and force Isolate early. If Lingering is already on your preferred pipe, take the long path; hindered fog mid-park is how free downs happen.

Mask rules

• Divide should seed Lingering on the vents that connect garage clusters to mid-park gens.
• Sin can rush-vent—do not assume a pipe is safety.
• Pierce should note which vents survivors use to flee a teleport arrival, then cut the exit tile on the next pass.

Deep chase technique still lives on the looping guide; West Park simply gives you more pipes to mismanage.

Pallet scarcity

Murderthon already tells you pallets are limited. West Park feels that rule harder because many strong tiles are one-pallet deep. Burning the garage plank in the first minute for a healthy first hit is a team throw.

Priorities:

• Save god pallets near contested generators and common chair save lines.
• Pre-drop only when you need a guaranteed vault reset or when Sin/Sheol refuse to respect standing wood.
• Call Handyman to fragile or broken planks behind the Mask—not in their face.
• If you are not Handyman, rotate after a break instead of ego-looping a dead alcove.

Scarce pallets also mean Masks who delete wood (Sin rushes, some Sheol talent lines) snowball faster on West Park than on maps with thicker jungle gyms. Plan your first drop like shared inventory.

Generator routing

Survivors still need five of seven generators. On West Park, routing is about which islands you open first and how you cross lawns without donating free information.

Survivor routing habits

• Split early: two and two, or three on gens and one chest/scout, so Pierce cannot freeze the whole triangle after one chair.
• Finish a nearly done gen before rotating across open park—leaving 90% progress for a vanity loop is how Lens and Pierce feast.
• Prefer repair angles with at least one vault or vent escape. Open lawn gens are “finish when the Mask is busy,” not “AFK skill-check forever.”
• When three gens remain, stop greed-chesting mid-map; commit to the two safest completions that open gate paths.

Mask patrol habits

• Pierce: teleport to the highest progress incomplete gen, force a hit or drop, leave, and reappear where the next bar is climbing.
• Fate: seed traps on the lawn crossings between garage gens.
• Lens: plant info on the gen cluster survivors keep returning to after a chase, then teleport or path into the reveal.
• Jammed: cuff the Mechanic or Saboteur walking between islands—West Park’s long transitions make uncuff walks expensive.

Macro escape math is expanded on the generators and escape guide.

Chase tiles that actually burn time

Strong West Park chase tiles share three traits: a vault angle you can enter at sprint speed, a backup vent or second doorway, and an exit toward unfinished work. Weak tiles are single-door garages with no plank and lawn corners that only look safe until Bloodlust stacks.

Drill plan:

1. Practice fast vault entries on one garage window until the angle is muscle memory.
2. Forbid yourself from dropping more than one pallet per chase.
3. Force one vent slide per chase, then crouch-scrub.
4. Against Bloodlust, trade tiles early—do not marry the first alcove.

If you main Handyman, practice rebuild timing after the Mask leaves the tile so you are not hammering in terror radius.

Where Lens cams hurt

Lens is an information and teleport Mask. On West Park, cameras and surveillance tricks punish predictable habits:

• Repairing the same open gen after every chase
• Standing still on stair landings to watch the Mask
• Locker or tight alcove commits when you think you are “hidden”
• Crossing lawns on the same three paths every trial

Assume aura or cam info is compromised once Lens has had thirty seconds to set up. Play gens like they are watched—because they often are. Recon pings help the lobby track Lens rotations so three people do not walk into the same prepared space. Full kit context sits on Masks; ranking context is on the masks tier list.

Counter habits: split gen progress, clear obvious trap or cam angles when safe, and leave a gen early if Lens arrives with info rather than donating a free down that fuels the next teleport cycle.

How Handyman and Recon help on West Park

Handyman

Handyman is the map’s stabilizer. Scarce pallets mean every rebuild restores a chase answer the Mask thought was dead. Prioritize garage and stair planks that gate generator islands. Do not waste hammer charges on irrelevant filler tiles while the contested mid-park loop sits broken. After rebuilds, leave—Handyman who hammers in front of Sin or Pierce becomes the next chair.

Recon

Recon does not invent stronger loops; Recon makes West Park’s long sightlines honest. Ping before you cross lawns, ping when Lens goes quiet, and ping when Pierce disappears toward an incomplete gen. Information turns “I think the Mask is east” into “three teammates finish the west cluster safely.”

Together, Handyman plus Recon is the classic West Park survivor pair: restored tiles plus tracked rotations. Layer Medic heals or Enforcer blinds when the Mask is a rush or stealth kit.

Mask-specific West Park notes

Mask	West Park angle
Pierce	Debut-map energy: teleport cuts park crossings; block after chairs
Jammed	Cuffs tax long uncuff walks between islands
Lens	Cams and info punish open gens and repeated lawn paths
Divide	Vent density is both your playground and the lobby’s habit
Sin	Short hall rushes; punish stair ego
Fate	Trap garage doorways and gen approaches
Ripe	Madness plus stealth returns around alcove corners
Sheol	Overlook and lawn sightlines favor cards
Plague	Infection / area-denial pressure—re-test contaminated zones after patches

Do not invent exact cooldown numbers from memory; confirm tooltips in your client after the Mask of Slasher window and later hotfixes.

Common West Park mistakes

• Burning the only garage pallet in minute one
• Autopilot vents into Divide Lingering
• Triple-stacking one gen while Pierce teleports freely
• Looping a dead stair alcove instead of transitioning
• Ignoring Lens info and repairing like the Mask is blind
• Handyman rebuilding in the Mask’s face
• Crossing open lawn on sprint scratch marks every single time

Practice checklist

1. Tour the map once naming garage, lawn, stair, vent spine, and gen island.
2. Play two survivor matches focused only on pallet patience.
3. Play one match as Recon practicing lawn-crossing pings.
4. Play one Mask match as Pierce or Fate focusing on gen patrol, not ego chases.
5. Re-read looping if vault angles still feel random.

West Park rewards players who treat vents as conditional, pallets as shared inventory, and generators as a routing puzzle. Learn the garage-to-island transitions, respect Lens information, and bring Handyman or Recon when the lobby needs structure—and the park stops feeling like a coin flip.
