Maps can feature either shallow water or deep water. Shallow water does not affect movement, but will have subtle gameplay effects, such as preventing fall damage, allowing the [[Shock Therapy]] to [[mini-crit]], and revealing the splashing footsteps of cloaked [[Spy|Spies]]. It will not allow users to swim, extinguish their afterburn, or affect their weapon properties. Shallow water can be deceivingly deep, which will frustrate those who are rapidly burning to death. | ||
Deep water allows a character to swim around and fully submerge themselves, reducing their speed, removing their ability to taunt, and allowing themselves to swim upwards and downwards. This has the obvious effect of extinguishing afterburn, but with the less obvious effect of preventing fire-spewing weapons from being fired at all, such as the [[Flame Thrower]] and [[Flare Gun]]. It also provides complete immunity from the Flame Thrower's flames, but not the Flare Gun's projectile, if fired above water. Most mechanics, like zooming in with the [[Sniper Rifle]] or spinning up the [[Minigun]], will still work as normal. However, many projectiles will have their velocity affected by the water, and will become significantly slower. | Deep water allows a character to swim around and fully submerge themselves, reducing their speed, removing their ability to taunt, and allowing themselves to swim upwards and downwards.
