The layout
Sites A, B and C sit across the map, with B in the center. Paths between them are short, so rotations are faster than on Haven, but the doors make them noisy.
What makes it different
The rotating doors open and close when a player triggers them, and the sound tells the other team someone is moving. A destructible wall can be broken to open a new path into a site.
Lotus in pro play
Fast rotations and loud doors make Lotus a map of quick reactions. Teams often use the door sounds to fake a rotation or to hear when the enemy commits.
