Trivia

  • It is possible to enter the inside of the "Rock Seastack" object on Erosion. This is not possible on other maps.
  • Erosion's pallet has a drastic difference in texture from its fellow Forge Maps. Rather than being a clean white in color, Erosion's objects have a rusted and dirty texture, which is in context with the map.
  • Erosion is often criticized for its uneven and sloped terrain that makes it difficult to Forge on.
