Death Spots are areas in which a player gets Nexowned, or suddenly dies for no apparent reason. Common places are often stairs or ladders, but in reality Nexowning can occur anywhere, making Death Spots innumerable.
Possible Explanation[]
This occurrence may be due to the player's Hitbox going into an area that Nexon has covered with a death barrier. A good example is when a new map is introduced and it includes stairs or another angled surface. If the surface is sprinted over, a player's foot will slightly go through the thin map into the death barrier-covered area underneath, instantly killing him/her.
