    I remember start of season 7 when creative first released. Making a giant ring in the sky with loot on it, and just playing this exact thing. But without all the flashy lights, like you could build and shoot on the ring, but we would have a truce. Was made out of the same like building pieces as well. The idea was super basic but fun. I miss that.

    Idk if you will see this but I loved the Pit first started playing it in 2021 I think? When season 7 of chapter 2 launched I really enjoyed it I did jot build in it at all and did well had fun found loopholes in the map was able to get the Legendary rpg before it was officially added to it years went by and I moved to its zero build version I like that one do don't play it as often but it's fun one of the better maps for sure.
