Pauper's Drop is a retooled environment for BioShock 2 Multiplayer of Pauper's Drop from BioShock 2, and features a mix between the Town Square and the Fishbowl Diner area. Pauper's Drop is an area originally part of the Atlantic Express servicing areas. This map is the highest map available for the Fall of Rapture. It is part of the Rapture Metro Pack.

History[]

Main article: Pauper's Drop

The area was originally created as Maintenance Junction 17 for the Atlantic Express' first-class railway line, and became a place construction workers lived temporarily. This area sometime later became a residence for some of the poorer citizens of Rapture. Pauper's Drop was redeveloped with residential accommodations, businesses and a market, and has been decorated with a big city-like appearance. It was judged by some as worse than Apollo Square, even years before the Civil War. "The Drop", of the Multiplayer map, occupies a large open space with small buildings mostly around the edges in the area, such as The Sinclair Deluxe, The Hamilton, and the Fishbowl Diner.

Market[]

The Market is the central area of the map, with the four buildings on each of its corners, separated by alleys and connected by catwalks. There are few covered areas in the alleys and in the center, and an RPG Turret sweeps the area from between the Limbo Room and the upper office. Explosive barrels can be found scattered around. Team matches will always start with both teams facing each other in the longest alleys. The Atlantic Express rail structure hanged above the market and going to the Rapture Metro station can be reached by use of Leg Up or Geyser Trap.
