He never thought that this would be his last snow.

Leo's Memory is a map currently available in Identity V. It takes place in Leo Beck's factory during Christmas. The prominent colour palette of this map is white. There are 8 chests that spawn on this map, and 46 Pallets.

Background[]

Little to nothing is known about the background of the Minerva Arms Factory during Christmas time.

Notable Places[]

Factory[]

The factory is located in the center of the map. Unlike the factory in the Arms Factory map, it has two floors which can be accessed from staircases inside and outside the building.

Abandoned Shack[]

The abandoned shack is located not far from the factory. It is empty and is a common location for survivors to use the looping strategy in.

Christmas Tree[]

There is a large Christmas tree between one of the ruined walls and the shack. In the Dawn version, more smaller Christmas trees were added, but this one remains the largest.

Ruins[]

There are clusters of ruined walls in 4 separate clusters found at each corner of the square map. Each cluster can spawn 1 cipher each.

Shipping Containers[]

There are multiple shipping containers scattered across the map, but two are particularly large. The biggest is white and near the northern edge of the map, while second biggest is yellow and right next to the factory.

Exit Gates[]

There are two exit gates in the North-East and South-West part of the map.

Snowball[]

When the button is tapped, players will throw the snowball opposite to the camera's direction. When holding the button, players can select the throwing direction by panning the camera.

Upon hitting other players, a line of text marked as "Dread" at the left corner of the screen (in-line with in-game Match Achievements and point earning) will read: "Hit character with snowballs __ time(s)", no points will be earned and no effects will be applied to the hit player. Upon hitting other players from the front, the text will read: "Hit character in the face with snowballs __ time(s)", no points will be earned and the hit player's screen will be partially obstructed by snow.

Number of uses: Unlimited

Character Spawn Locations[]

There are 9 possible character spawn location groups on this map.

Note: The actual spawn points of Survivors will be refreshed at random within 15m of the marked positions on the map.

Area Selection[]

There are 9 possible area selections on this map.

Basement Locations[]

As with most maps, there are two Hunter's basement locations.

  1. In the abandoned shack
  2. In the Factory

Dungeon Locations[]

There are 5 possible locations for the dungeon hatch to spawn in.

  • Just outside the Factory towards the largest shipping container, in between a triangle of obstacles.
  • Far corner of the map near an exit gate, in between ruined walls.
  • Other far corner of the map, furthest away from exit gates.
  • Next to the Christmas tree.
  • Behind the shack.

Dawn[]

During the 2020 and 2021 Christmas and New Year's Day Event, a variant of this map was released and accessible in Quick Matches and Custom Mode. The map's features remain unchanged, but as the variant name suggests, the map is set at the time of dawn, during sunrise. The colors of the map become brighter.

"Added "Dawn Atmosphere" to the map, Leo's Memory. Players can try out this map for a limited time in Quick Match and Custom Mode. Numerous Christmas Hats "magically" appeared in Leo's Memory - rumor has it that they were left behind by someone in a leaky old car. If you happen to get your hands on one, treat it as Leo's Christmas blessing to you."

—— December 24th Maintenance Patch notes

Christmas Hats[]

Scattered across the variant map are a number of Christmas Hats. Survivors may interact with these, picking them up with the interact button or 'Q' for PC players. Upon interaction, a large Christmas hat will appear briefly on the head of the survivor before fading away. Hunters cannot interact with the hats. A hat will appear on the survivor and hunter's heads if they within the animation of throwing a snowball.

Gameplay Tips[]

  • Leo's Memory is the only map with 9 spawn patterns, so it is advised that players (especially hunters) learn to orient themselves and have a general idea of where the other faction spawns in relation to themselves.
  • The factory can be a strong kiting spot, as well as the ruins nearby and the ruins by the gate with the moon or by the Christmas tree.
  • As Leo's Memory is a relatively dark map, Peepers can be used to highlight survivors if hunter players have difficulty seeing them.
  • This map has many pallets, so bringing Destructiveness is a fair choice.
  • A common trick hunters use is Blinking through the wall of the factory onto the stairs outside, landing a hit on unaware survivors without inducing attack recovery.
  • Survivors commonly hold down the snowball button when running on the ledge inside the factory, as it will induce collision and the survivor will not fall onto the ground floor despite running off the edge.
  • Toy Merchant's catapults can launch survivors onto the staircase outside.
  • Patient has many jump spots due to the fact that the factory has 2 stories, and that the map is littered with trees.
  • Naiad's abysses can be slightly harder to see on this map, for both factions. Hunters who struggle to see the water lines can bring the accessory Deepsea Artifact to increase visibility.

Map Changes[]

The following changes refer only to adjustments that affect gameplay. Cosmetic effects and other easter eggs can be found under the trivia section.

  • The stairs in the factory used to be much longer, wrapping around almost the entire inside of the factory.
  • A pallet was found at the top of the stairs on the outside of the factory.
  • Another pallet was found at the top of the stairs at the end of the platform before it turned along the wall.
  • There were 2 windows upstairs: 1 had to be vaulted, but the other could be bypassed through a gap on the side of the wall.
  • Map adjustments in Season 8:
    • The 2 windows upstairs were changed to 1 window and an open doorway.
    • The pallet at the top of the stairs inside the factory was removed.
  • Several map adjustments were made during Season 11:
    • The length of the stairs was reduced.
    • A pallet was added in the doorway of the side entrance of the factory at the bottom of the stairs.
  • The factory doorway with a pallet was previously a window, and was changed to an open doorway at some point. The pallet was added when the stairs were reduced as part of the Season 11 changes.
  • A rocket chair was added near the Christmas tree during Season 22.
  • More changes from Season 23:
    • The window under the open gap of the platform ledge was moved closer to the doorway.
    • The low-walled area with 2 pallets was moved to stand alone instead of hugging the factory corner, and a pallet was removed.

Trivia[]

  • The factory in this map is based on the earliest version of the factory in Arms Factory, which was as big as the Leo's Memory's one and had similar features to it, featuring a ramp, a second floor and similar windows. It is unknown if it had the same interior design as this revision of the factory.
  • Leo's Memory is based on what the Minerva Arms Factory looked like before it was destroyed.
  • This map, despite being Christmas-themed, can be accessed outside of winter season.
  • The Chests on this map are rectangle wrapped presents.
  • This map's special feature are snowballs that can be thrown by both factions, but seem to serve no use other than to mess around with teammates or (partially) obscure other's visions.
