Bazaar
Brosos was one of the first cities, built in the shadow of an old terraforming hub. The facility broke down shortly after the Hawken virus outbreak, and the companies packed up and left.
All that remains of the terraforming operation are the communication pillars, buried in the sand. However, the discovery of vitrolium has made Brosos a hub of activity again, as both Prosk and Sentium installed bases from which mercenary mech pilots can deploy to search for valuable vitrolium deposits.
Mountain Ridge
The settlement of Brosos was built in the shadow of the Brosian mountain range. These ridges used to be the bane of corporate supply pilots, as numerous choke points provided ample ambush points along the supply routes. After the outbreak of the Hawken virus, the range provided natural cover for scavengers.
Partial Cover
Vitrolium raiders use any remaining structures for cover, so most civilians have left. Constant mech combat riddles the settlement's buildings with bullet holes and scorch marks. Only the foolhardy or the insane continue to live in the ruins.
Pillars of Rock
At the edge of the settlement, the mountain ridge begins to break up into pillars that form pathways. These routes are highly contested and constantly change hands between rival clans. They also allow for ideal supporting fire and sniping locations.

Strategy
Surviving the Bazaar
A mix of terraforming ruins and natural rock formations litter the landscape, providing significant cover for mechs engaged in close quarter combat, while several taller structures make excellent sniper positions.
To survive the Bazaar, avoid getting drawn into engagements that lead you down into the narrow choke points formed by the rock formations. Getting over eager and chasing your prey down one of these corridors may just get you killed.
Exercise caution when navigating the ruins as well. Enemy mechs can be lurking around any corner, and the layout provides plenty of opportunities for attacks from the rear or flank.
Team Deathmatch
Taking the central silo can be one of the best strategies on Bazaar. Holding it can prove difficult, but a well coordinated team can be nearly unbreakable in this position. To drive a team out of the central silo, launch a multi-prong attack along the numerous paths leading to the center.
Missile Assault
It can be difficult to hold the silos on Bazaar due to the large number of attack paths that exist. Taking S2 should be your first priority. After that, your team can decide which silo to capture next. Never leave S2 undefended for long, though. Holding it is the most important goal on this map.
Deathmatch
Players have several options for achieving victory in Deathmatch on Bazaar. If you prefer to hunt from long range, find a vantage point in the ruins and use the open spaces to attack enemies from a distance. If you like to get up close and personal, stay in cover at all times and use the ruined buildings to mask your movements until the time to strike is right.
