Every week the EFG staff will be defining a gaming term that is either confusing or ill-defined. Please leave a comment with any terms you are confused by and we will try to include them in future editions!
Spawn Location
The areas where players, threats, or resources return to play after being either defeated or collected. Spawn Locations are sometimes marked if they are commonly used during play.
Spawn Camping
Spawn Camping is the behavior, sometimes unintended but often malicious, of staying near or directly on a Spawn Location in an attempt to gain an advantage, either in defeating players or collecting resources.
Spawn Camping in multiplayer games is often considered bad sportsmanship by players.
Example:
There are dedicated spawn locations on Overwatch maps that change as objectives are completed.
