But the main reason behind its inclusion is Ringmaster Scarr's medallion which grants players and teams infinite ammo as one of its perks. This medallion brings a powerful perk in a vehicle-heavy map where you get infinite shots of crossbows and Assault rifles. Weapons buffed with the medallion can take down the heaviest of vehicles, even with the meanest vehicle mods.

Another bonus of landing in Nitrodrome is the Mythic Nitro car that belongs to Ringmaster Scarr. This Mythic car has infinite Nitro boosts, bulletproof tires, spiked bumpers, and a Machine Gun bot mounted to the roof. This is one of the most powerful cars on the map and a game-changer if captured early in the match.


3) Orchard Station
