merit mention, others are extremely deadly menaces capable of quickly fragging the reckless, and a few fall somewhere
in the middle.
Acceleration Pads: Acceleration pads use a powerf u l
a rtificial gravitational field to impart lateral thrust to
anyone stepping onto them. Think of them as high tech
jump ramps.
D o o r s: Doors in the arena come in many shapes and
sizes. Most open when you move near them. Others
remain closed until a button or other trigger activates
them. A standard door will open if it's shot.
Fog of Death: These swirling crimson vapors are highly caustic and faintly radioactive.

one point in the arena to another. You can't see where a teleporter leads, however, until
you step into it.
Tr i g g e r s: Triggers often take the form of a button or pre s s u re plate. When activated, they cause
something to happen (usually nearby). Some triggers activate when touched, others must be fired on.
Vo i d s: Falling off certain platforms will cause you to plummet to your death. Other
locations contain Tubes that will teleport you to a safer place. To find out which places
