Gladiators in the Arena Eternal have a wide variety of weapons available to them. At the start of every match (or after
10
they've been fragged), all combatants are armed only with a machine gun and gauntlet. Depending on the are n a
t h e y ' re battling in, other weapons may be available. Ammunition for each weapon can usually be found in the same
a rena. Collect a weapon (or its ammunition) by running through it.
G a u n t l e t: The gauntlet combines a whirling saw blade with a powerful electrical charge to create a
deadly close-combat weapon. Unlike the other weapons, the gauntlet needs no ammunition, so it's
always ready to go.
Machine Gun: Although not particularly powerful, this weapon
has a high rate of fire and can be used to blanket an area with a
s u p p ressing hail of bullets.
S h o t g u n: One of the most common weapons scattered thro u g h o u t
the arenas, the shotgun delivers an instantly impacting shower of
heavy pellets. Reloading causes a short delay between shots.
Plasma Gun: This powerful energy weapon unleashes a deadly
s t ream of plasma pulses that rapidly consume its energy supply.
G renade Launcher: The time-fused grenades fired by this weapon
a re incredibly powerful and have a wide blast radius.

Rocket Launcher: The rockets fired by this heavy weapon
have a large blast radius, enabling them to harm several
t a rgets at once. Be careful when using this weapon, since
i t 's easy to include yourself in the explosion!
Lightning Gun: The most unusual weapon in the are n a ,
the lightning gun unleashes a powerful stroke of electrici-
ty at its target. Despite its short range, nothing looks cool-
er than the lightning gun!
Rail Gun: This highly accurate weapon uses a linear accel-
erator to throw a depleted uranium slug at an incre d i b l e
rate of speed. The gun's accelerator must re c h a rg e
between shots, causing a delay before it can be fire d
a g a i n .
B F G - 1 0 K: An evolution of the plasma gun, the BFG-10K is
the dream weapon of every gladiator in the arena. It
hurls devastatingly powerful bursts of fusing plasma to
mow down enemies.
