All Blast in Paradise outfits come with a tropical Crater’s Edge character stand and a character customization screen background unique to the event.
Lagoon of Doom
LAGOON OF DOOM, home to bottomless waterfalls, is forever swathed in fog. They say that SEA SERPENTS ply its depths, ready to snag anyone foolhardy enough to cross the Lagoon. Surely, it’s nonsense -- but just in case, let’s stick to the beach, and avoid the water!
Grand Harbor
GRAND HARBOR is home to several noteworthy sights. Among them is a pair of wrecked PIRATE SHIPS, which settled in the shallow waters, positioned as they were during their final naval battle. There could be treasure stored below their decks, but there are definitely piles of unstable rockets down there. So stay clear!
Note: After the Event finishes, maps will stay in Matchmaking!
What to Expect at the Start of the Event:
- Beach Ball Added to Social Playlist - Blast away at a giant beach ball.
- Beach ball added to Social Playlist During Blast in Paradise Event on Grand Harbor and Lagoon of Doom
- Knockout Doubles in Paradise - The Knockout Playlist heads to Crater’s Edge for 2v2 Action

- Bots in Paradise - Cooperative - The Rocketbot Attack on Crater’s Edge

Get the lay of the land before you hit the beach! Here are a few key features and landmarks to look out for on Crater’s Edge.
Jolly Boats!
Rocket-propelled boats slowly drift about Grand Harbor. Jolly Boats may be used for recovery, and landing on them can help you get around the Harbor.
Some Jolly Boats are even beached in Lagoon of Doom, but are still active!
Shoot the clockwork birds to activate their cannons to blast opposing players.
RocketJump on Water
Danger lurks in these waters!, avoid splashing into the drink and save yourself from a KO with a well-timed RocketJump.
Grand Harbor Soundtrack
An island-themed soundtrack written by Jack Wall accompanies the maps with new in-game music.
Bodum’s Grotto
A beachcomber’s favorite haunt, long rumored to be the last place Blastbeard was seen before losing his trophy.
Watch out for Splinters!
Wooden Jump pads to blast across the Harbour or from ship to ship.
The Venture
Its days must be numbered, it’s the last sea-worthy ship on Crater’s Edge. Find it loading rocket-cargo in Lagoon of Doom.
