The Water Pit or Waterpit is a Single Player and Multiplayer level in Aftershock for Quake. There are no differences between the Single Player and Deathmatch versions of this map.
This level was inspired by The Lava Pit, meaning both levels share a lot of similarities. The level focuses entirely upon traversing a series of Moving Platforms that connect the areas surrounding a central structure. Instead of having Lava that kills the player at the bottom, the level has Water. There are also some small bridges connecting the platforms, allowing for another floor for combat to occur on.
It is relatively easy to exit the confines of the Water arena, but doing such will just drop the player into a much larger pit of Slime fully surrounding the intended combative area.
This level does not exist in the Aftershock for Quake level selection menu for DOS, meaning the file must be transferred to the level folder for the Add-on to be accessed.
