I don't have a link to download the testmap, but if someone could spot me one it would be appreciated...
The testmap is a great tool I think a lot of players should take advantage of. Heres the gist of what the testmap has:
1. It simulates a six man game of your selected difficulty by using stationary player bots.
2. Offers a small room with buttons to spawn stationary specimens from a clot all the way up to the patriarch. These specimens can't move or attack you (but if you get too close they can hit you). Perfect for testing general damage rates of weapons/perks.
3. Offers buttons to spawn specimens from clot all the way to patriarch perpendicular to a long hallway. Great for testing perks/tactics/weapons against free range specimens that can move and attack.
4. A pile of regenerating cash next to a trader that is always open. Perfect for testing loadouts and buying and selling tested equipment.
This map has about a bajillion uses to any player, but the most important is using the testmap to know you and your perks limitations. I think this is the best place for players to practice, learn how weapons handle, know what each perk is best suited for, test different loadouts, and just gain a general wealth of experience.
I highly suggest anyone reading this thread to download the map and start testing right away. It really opened my eyes as to what I should/shouldn't be doing with my perks and weapons.
