The Games

Red/Blue Flag: When you're playing in a Capture the Flag event, each team is given a standard to guard. You score points by grabbing the enemy banner and carrying it back to your own base.

In addition to weapons, armor, and health bonuses, combatants will find many useful items scattered around the arena. These can be picked up by running over them. There are two types of items: power-ups and carried items.

Power-ups are items that take effect the instant you touch them. They remain in effect for a short time, which is counted down on your screen, and then expire.

Battle Suit: This golden shell protects the wearer from lava, slime, drowning, and other hostile conditions (including splash damage from weapons). Be careful. Even a Battle Suit won't protect you from the Fog of Death or the Void!

Flight: A Flight pack is a small anti-gravity generator allowing a gladiator to propel him- or herself through the air with minimal effort. Flight packs are only available in multiplayer games.

Haste: This tachyon accelerator creates a bubble of compressed time, greatly increasing the gladiator's movement speed and rate of fire.

Invisibility: This unit bends light around its user, making a gladiator very difficult to see. However, muzzle flashes and power-up glows are still fully visible.

MegaHealth: When you pick up a MegaHealth, your health is increased by 100 points (even beyond your maximum).

Quad Damage: When you scoop up a Quad Damage, your weapons are supercharged for a brief period of time.

Regeneration: When you grab the Regeneration, your health will gradually increase until it reaches 200 or the effect times out.

Some items are picked up and carried with your gladiator until you choose to activate them. It's important to remember that you can only have one item at a time. Before you can pick up another, you have to use the one you already have. Once activated, the effect is instantaneous.

Medkit: This battlefield medical kit contains a wide array of healing and pain killing chemicals. When activated, its computer brain diagnoses the user?s injuries and instantly restores the gladiator to full health (100).

Teleporter: A personal teleporter is a small unit with the ability to fold space around its user. When activated, it instantly transports the user to a random point in the arena.
