Description

Backyard Beginnings, internally referred to as Map1Adidas, was a map located in a city soccer court. It was the event map for the first mission of the Backyard Legends Event. Like other event maps, this map had a specialized wave structure with special enemies. Players started with a varying amount of cash, based on the player count. It has no unique rewards.

You only got cash if an enemy is killed, or in some cases, damaged by a specific amount of health. Additionally, the amount gained was a set amount of cash, which was not always equal to the enemy's health. Enemies split their cash between players, regardless of how much damage the player dealt to it. If, in a duo, one player did all the damage to an enemy, both players will received 50% of the cash the enemy would normally give in solo. This means that in solo, you receive 100% of the cash when an enemy is killed, or it was damaged enough. With each additional player, this is reduced to 50% in duo, 33% in trio and 25% in quad. If it was a decimal number, it got rounded up or down depending on the decimal value. If it was at least 0.5, it gets rounded up. If it was less than 0.5, it got rounded down.

All difficulties had health scaling of 10% in trio matches and 20% in quad matches. In the Hard difficulty, Mutation is applied, which increases the health of an enemy by 10% every wave after its first appearance, also boosting rewards by 20%. In both difficulties, players cannot use their Skills or consumables.

Design & Path

Backyard Beginnings was a soccer court placed in the middle of a city. The court had a black floor with white lines and is surrounded by short metal fences on the sides and taller ones on the front and back. Behind the fences there was random trash left on the floor, multiple spotlights and bystanders watching the court. On the front and back there were stairs leading out of the court. Next to them are a few cars. These stairs lead to the city itself, which contained multiple grey buildings with billboards on them which display Roblox ads.

The path started at one goal to the other. The path went through one half circle and enters a loop, then another loop and then the last half circle.

Rewards

The game calculated how many CoinCoins and Experience EXP you received based on how many waves you survived and if you won a match. During periods of 100% more Experience EXP (Friday – Sunday), any Experience EXP earned was multiplied by 2x through the XP Boost modifier. The VIP gamepass also multiplied any Experience EXP earned by 1.25x through the VIP Boost modifier. These two boosts were additive.

Rewards are calculated as:

Coins Reward EXP Reward
Easy Rewards
(Coin25 ÷ (1 + [(10 ÷ Current Wave) - 1]^1.3) + Coin10 (Triumph Bonus)) × 1.2 (Waves Completed × Experience1.2 EXP) × 1.2
Hard Rewards
(Coin60 ÷ (1 + [(10 ÷ Current Wave) - 1]^1.3) + Coin20 (Triumph Bonus)) × 1.4 (Waves Completed × Experience2 EXP) × 1.4

Triumphing Backyard Beginnings could give out an additional reward, which can be a crate, consumable or ticket. The reward given was based on difficulty selected. They were meant to be guaranteed, though due to a bug this does not always happen. Additionally, items are sometimes not given out. These items were:

Wave Structure

The formula for calculating wave bonus on each wave is:

(Cash$750 + ([Waves Completed - 1] × Cash$250)^1.13) × (1 - [Players - 1] * 0.03)

The wave clear bonus appeared when every enemy from that wave was killed. It was 35% of the wave bonus in solo matches and 20% of the wave bonus in duo or higher matches.

The waves in Backyard Beginnings followed these timings:
