Some maps pay far more pp than their difficulty deserves. Here is what "overweighted" means, why it happens, and the maps famous for handing out nearly free pp.
By OSUMAUK Staff
Every so often a map pays out far more pp than it should for how hard it actually is to play. The community calls these overweighted or broken maps - sets where a quirk in the difficulty calculator over-values their patterns. They are the purest farm there is, and they are also the reason the pp system keeps getting reworked.
Overweighted maps move with every pp rework. A map that is broken today can be nerfed next patch, so the fastest way to find current ones is a live farm tracker that ranks maps by pp-per-difficulty, not a static list.

Farming an overweighted map is not cheating - it is a legitimate part of the ranked ladder. The only line is between honest play and assist tools; grinding a broken map with your own hands is fair game.
For the broader strategy see the main pp farm guide, and remember the biggest overweighted maps are usually the most-played ranked sets - the community finds them fast.
