With the trademark and copyright business out of the way, I can now say that I do not personally claim to have any affiliation or involvement with the development of this game or the people responsible for making this game possible.


All of the information in this document is either of my own accord, or information given to me by other Twisted Metal fans who wish to have a compiled list of information for this game.


This document is a work in progress and a lot of numbers are rough averages or estimates. All information is subject to change at any given moment. Players should not blame me if they fail to win a match because my document said X weapon does 37 damage, but it really only does 36 damage. I apologize if this happens to you, but please know we all make mistakes.


I also do not care if other people use any information in this document and post it to their own wikis, documents, or what have you. This document is for the public and was created to solely help new and veteran players alike. HOWEVER, I DO NOT want to find this whole document completely ripped and pasted somewhere else and someone claim they did all of it.


I would finally like to personally thank everyone who has contributed/is contributing/will contribute information to this document. There is a lot of information in this document and contributors have substantially reduced the time it would have taken me to collect all of it, so THANK YOU!


FINAL NOTE (for real)!
The majority of information in this document is intended for multiplayer. Players who wish to learn about any of the single player aspects (namely Story Mode) should seek another website or strategy guide. HOWEVER, things like Health Pickups and Mega Gun locations under Map Tips will help everyone, so at least look at the Table of Contents before heading elsewhere - you might find something useful!

First things first: the [Default] Controls
Square = Gas (double tap square for turbo)
X = Handbrake
Circle = Brake (double tap to go in reverse, see Right Thumb Stick)
Triangle = Alternate firing mode (works for Special weapons)
Left D-pad = Drops a Mine
Down D-pad = Fires main weapons behind you (not all weapons can be fired backwards)
Right D-pad = Shields your vehicle from all damage (shields Nuke when flying a nuke)
Up D-pad = Freeze missile
R2 = Fires main weapons (Specials, Missiles, Napalm, etc)
L2 = Fires mounted weapons (Machine Guns, Mega Guns, etc)
R1 = Cycle through main weapons to the right
L1 = Cycle through main weapons to the left
L1 + R1 = Will cause your vehicle to “bunny hop”. Good for jumping walls and avoiding imminent
                  head on collisions
R3 = Pushing in the right thumb stick will cycle through targets if you are firing target tracking
         weaponry
L3 (flight mode) = Turbo
L1 + Triangle = Headlights
Left Thumb Stick (vehicle) = Steers vehicle
Right Thumb Stick (vehicle) = Hold up to look up, hold down to reverse (push in to use turbo
                                                     while in reverse)
Left Thumb Stick (Talon) = Moves forward/backwards and strafes left/right
Right Thumb Stick (Talon) = Hold up to ascend, hold down to descend; rotates left and right
Left Thumb Stick (Nuke/Specials) = Moves left/right/up/down
Right Thumb Stick (Nuke/Specials) = Hold up to increase speed, hold down to decrease
Select = Changes camera angles (the farthest camera will zoom in when you go indoors)
Start = Pause the game and shit
Sixaxis Movement = Jerk the controller up to perform a “Sixaxis Boost”. This is not sustained
                                     and will drain your turbo considerably, so use sparingly




IMPORTANT NOTE
Sixaxis Boost is only available in multiplayer after you have unlocked it in Tier 2.






Game Modes


Single Player
Story - Self explanatory. Go through the story arcs of the three main characters.


Training - Self explanatory. Teaches you all the basics of each mode. Live training is good for learning your car of choice.


Challenge - Pits you against a set number of randomly chosen AI opponents who will all target you, hence “challenge” mode. Go here before you head online; if you can beat Challenge mode, you will be better than 90% of the online demo population.


Multiplayer
Team/Death Match - Self explanatory game mode. Get the most kills in the time allotted.


Team/Hunted - One player is randomly chosen as The Hunted and all other players must kill him. Whoever makes the killing blow on The Hunted becomes The Hunted. Note: In Team Hunted, one player from each side is chosen as The Hunted and will transfer to another random player on that team if The Hunted dies.


Team/Last Man Standing - Players have a set number of lives and will be forced to spectate if they die after their lives run out. Note: In Team Last Man Standing, each team shares a pool of lives, so don’t let your team down by dying the most!


Nuke – 7 vs 7 team based combat. Each team takes a turn on Offense or Defense. Offense's objective is to capture an enemy Faction Leader and sacrifice them at a Missile Carrier, which will in turn launch a nuke used to destroy the Defender's statue. Defense's objective is to prevent the Offense from launching a nuke/destroying the statue. Team with the most points at the end of 3 rounds wins.














Foreword on Testing Vehicle, Weapon, and Ability Statistics
Ram Damages: Ram damages were tested on a stationary Outlaw on Diablo Pass (XL) using the bridge as a straightaway to build up speed since it was a flat surface.


Fall Damages: Fall damages were tested just by jumping off the bridge on Diablo Pass (XL).
1. SPECIAL NOTES: The amount of fall damage taken depends on the size of the map. Larger maps will inflict more fall damage while smaller maps are less.


Recharge/Respawn Times: Tested by timing the length it took for weapons to become active again, such as gaining a new Special Weapon or for charge weapons to cool off (like the Laser Pistol sidearm).


Weapon Durations: Tested by timing the duration a weapon was active, such as Kamikaze’s Flame Thrower.


Time Traveled Before Termination: Tested by timing the duration a projectile was active before it self terminated.
1. SPECIAL NOTES: Some weapons do not self terminate and can reach very, very long distances. Even though a weapon may not lock onto a target, it still may be able to reach them if you have good aim.


Maximum Turbo: Tested by using Turbo and spinning in a circle until Turbo depleted.


Time to Fully Charge: The amount of time it took for a weapon to become fully charged and deal maximum damage, as well as the total [minimum] time it took to go through multiple Stages of charging, such as Death Warrant and Roadkill’s alternate Special.


Maximum Health: Tested by shooting regular Mounted Guns at a target until it died.


Maximum Damage: Tested just by firing weapons at a target. For specific weapons, multiple trials were recorded until the [hopefully] possible highest damage was achieved.


Tracking: The invisible “cone” in front of or behind vehicles that a weapon will track targets. Some weapons have smaller cones or can only track on vertical/horizontal axis.


Delay Between Shots/Return to Vehicle: The time it took between firing the first projectile and firing the second one. For Special Weapons such as Vermin’s alternate Special, “Return to Vehicle” means the delay between the loss of control of your Special and the time it takes to return control of your vehicle.


Energy Recharge Time: Determined by completely depleting the vehicle’s energy bar and timing how long it takes to fill back up.
Vehicles
Death Warrant
Speed: 3
Armor: 3
Special Weapons: 2
Special Weapons Recharge Time: 19.5 seconds
Energy Recharge Time: 90 seconds

1. Maximum Damage (Tap): 33
1. Special Weapon Duration: 5 seconds
1. Maximum Damage (Charge): N/A
2. Tracking: Wide frontal cone
3. Rear Fire: Yes
4. SPECIAL NOTES: The default Special Weapon is undesirable in the majority of situations and should ONLY be used when you are 100% sure that you can kill the enemy with one Chain Gun. In all other cases, you should be using Zoomy Rockets. Press D-pad down while firing to aim Chain Gun backwards.


Alternate Special Attack: “Zoomy Rockets”
1. Maximum Damage (Stage 1 - Tap): 1
1. Special Weapon Duration: 0.5 seconds
1. Maximum Damage (Stage 1 - Charge): 19
1. Special Weapon Duration: 6 seconds
2. Time to Fully Charge: ~0.9 seconds
3. Special Will Overheat After: 5 seconds

1. Special Weapon Duration: ~0.5 seconds
1. Maximum Damage (Stage 2 - Charge): 73
1. Special Weapon Duration: 6 seconds
2. Time to Fully Charge: 7.5 seconds
3. Special Will Overheat After: 5 seconds
1. Tracking: Wide frontal cone
2. Rear Fire: Yes
3. SPECIAL NOTES: Rear firing the alternate Special will ONLY point the Chain Gun backwards while the Zoomy Rockets will continue to shoot forwards. To perform Stage 2, release R2 when the charge bar is in the red, then immediately hold R2 again; you will see the Zoomy Rocket pod raise on the roof of the vehicle. You will know when Zoomy Rockets are fully charged when the charge bar blinks red. It does not matter how far you charge into the red zone in Stage 1, as long as you release in the red zone.


GENERAL NOTES: Death Warrant is one of three starter vehicles in online multiplayer.
Outlaw
Speed: 2
Armor: 3
Special Weapons: 3
Special Weapons Recharge Time: 31 seconds
Energy Recharge Time: 90 seconds
Maximum Health: 240
Fall Damage Taken: 72
Maximum Turbo: 58 seconds
Ram Damage (no Turbo): 26
Ram Damage (Turbo): 35
Ram Damage (Sixaxis Boost): 45


Default Special Attack: “Turret and Grenades”
1. Maximum Damage (No Tap): 25 damage
1. Special Weapon Duration: 5 seconds
1. Maximum Damage (Tap): 45
1. Special Weapon Duration: 5 seconds
1. Tracking: 360 degrees
2. Rear Fire: No
3. SPECIAL NOTES: Tap R2 repeatedly to fire grenades. Turrets and Grenades has a small knockback to it (if you tap R2 for grenades). This Special Weapon is undesirable in most situations and +High Capacity Mag’s takes priority, UNLESS you are unsure of your ability to keep targets in front of or behind you (in which case, GO PRACTICE).


Alternate Special Attack: “+High Capacity Mag’s”
1. Maximum Damage (No Tap): 19
1. Special Weapon Duration: 5 seconds
1. Maximum Damage (Tap): 85
1. Special Weapon Duration: 5 seconds
1. Tracking: Wide frontal and rear cone
2. Rear Fire: Yes
3. SPECIAL NOTES: Tap R2 repeatedly to fire blood missiles. This Special Weapon has no knockback, but it takes priority over Turrets and Grenades due to its high damage output. Press D-pad down while firing to aim the turret backwards.


GENERAL NOTES: Outlaw is one of three starting vehicles in online multiplayer. He is the most well rounded out of all three starter vehicles and is my recommended pick for new players.
Meat Wagon
Speed: 2
Armor: 3
Special Weapons: 3
Special Weapons Recharge Time: 31 seconds
Energy Recharge Time: 90 seconds
Maximum Health: 210
Fall Damage Taken: 63
Maximum Turbo: 58 seconds
Ram Damage (no Turbo): 34
Ram Damage (Turbo): 35
Ram Damage (Sixaxis Boost): 45


Default Special Attack: “Gurney Bomber”
1. Maximum Damage: 40
1. Travel Time Before Termination: 12 seconds
2. Delay Between Specials (if more than one in stock): 1.9 ~ 2 seconds
1. Tracking: Wide frontal cone
2. Rear Fire: Yes
3. SPECIAL NOTES: The Gurney Bomber can track, and sometimes hit, very low flying air targets, but otherwise it is only effective against ground targets. The explosion from this Special can hurt you, too.


Alternate Special Attack: “Piloted Gurney Bomber”
1. Maximum Damage: 90
1. Travel Time Before Termination: 12 seconds
2. Delay Before Returning to Vehicle: Instant
1. Tracking: No
2. Rear Fire: No
3. SPECIAL NOTES: Piloted Gurney Bomber can be manually detonated by pressing R2; however, 90 damage can be achieved by directly piloting it into an opponent’s vehicle. Use the right thumb stick to control speed and left thumb stick to steer. Handbrake can be used to make tighter turns as well. The explosion from this Special can hurt you, too.


GENERAL NOTES: Meat Wagon is a tier 1 multiplayer unlock. If you are having trouble hitting an opponent with your Piloted Gurney Bomber, try freezing the opponent first and directly facing them before launching the attack.
Talon
Speed: 4
Armor: 1
Special Weapons: 4
Special Weapons Recharge Time: 39 seconds
Energy Recharge Time: 32 seconds
Maximum Health: 120
Fall Damage Taken: 36
Maximum Turbo: 32 seconds
Ram Damage (No Turbo): 28
Ram Damage (Turbo): 30
Ram Damage (Sixaxis Boost): N/A (cannot Sixaxis Boost)


Default Special Attack: “Tri-Gunner”
1. Maximum Damage: 450 (150 per Special)
1. Special Weapon Duration: N/A (lasts as long as you don’t run out of bullets or get frozen)
2. Delay Before Returning to Vehicle: N/A (you can still move around during Tri-Gunner)
1. Tracking: Auto-snaps to closest target near reticle
2. Rear Fire: No
3. SPECIAL NOTES: Using Tri-Gunner puts player on first person turret that deploys on right side of Talon; turning the turret far enough left or right will rotate Talon. Press Triangle at any time to exit the turret before all bullets are shot. You ascend/descend by holding L2 and using right thumb stick. Each Special contains 100 bullets and it is possible to shoot up to 300 bullets (3 Specials in stock) continuously.


Alternate Special Attack: “Drop Magnet”
1. Maximum Damage: 60
1. Special Weapon Duration: 110 ~ 112 seconds
1. Tracking: None
2. Rear Fire: No
3. SPECIAL NOTES: Drop Magnet can be used to pick up teammates as well as opponents. Press Triangle + D-pad down to deactivate magnet or drop your “cargo” at any time. The higher an opponent is dropped, the more damage it does. You can shoot other weapons while Drop Magnet is active. Drop Magnet CANNOT pick up Juggernaut and will bounce off him; while Drop Magnet is active, Talon will bounce off the ground at a certain height due to the magnetic waves from the magnet.


GENERAL NOTES: Talon is a tier 2 unlock in online multiplayer. While Talon is in motion, his cone of fire for all weapons will follow the nose of the helicopter; to elaborate, if you are moving forward, you must be more on top of opponents to target them with projectiles, whereas if you are moving backwards, you must descend closer to the ground (in some cases they need to be above you). Hold in the left thumbstick to use turbo.


Vermin
Speed: 2
Armor: 3
Special Weapons: 3
Special Weapons Recharge Time: 24 seconds
Energy Regeneration Time: 90 seconds
Maximum Health: 205
Fall Damage Taken: 61
Maximum Turbo (in seconds): 58 seconds
Ram Damage (no Turbo): 32
Ram Damage (Turbo): 35
Ram Damage (Sixaxis Boost): 45


Default Special Attack: “Rat Rocket”
1. Maximum Damage: 30
1. Travel Time Before Termination: 4.5 seconds
2. Delay Between Specials (if more than one in stock): ~1.10 seconds
1. Tracking: Wide frontal cone
2. Rear Fire: No


Alternate Special Attack: “Piloted Rat Rocket”
1. Maximum Damage: 100
1. Travel Time Before Termination: 15 seconds
2. Delay Before Returning to Vehicle: 3 seconds
1. Tracking: None
2. Rear Fire: No
3. SPECIAL NOTES: Left thumb stick to steer, right thumb stick to adjust speed. Piloted Rat Rocket can hover in air, but still consumes fuel. The rocket can be manually detonated, or if you have an enemy inside the reticle and press R2, the rocket will zoom in towards its target; however, this method only deals 50 maximum damage. For the maximum 100 damage, it must be manually flown into the target. During the delay of returning to your vehicle, you can still use energy abilities, but cannot move.


GENERAL NOTES: Vermin is a tier 1 unlock in online multiplayer. Vermin’s Piloted Rat Rocket will “force” all opponent’s targeting systems to target the Rat Rocket. This makes it really good for Nuke mode while on Offense in that you can essentially escort your team’s nuke when it’s fired and take some of the heat. Vermin also makes a great Defense player in Nuke due to his short Special Weapons recharge time and being able to manually attack enemy nukes.
Crimson Fury
Speed: 5
Armor: 1
Special Weapons: 5
Special Weapons Recharge Time: 39 seconds
Energy Regeneration Time: 90 seconds
Maximum Health: 110
Fall Damage Taken: 33
Maximum Turbo (in seconds): 32 seconds
Ram Damage (no Turbo): 9
Ram Damage (Turbo): 10
Ram Damage (Sixaxis Boost): 13


Default Special Attack: “Flamethrower”
1. Maximum Damage: 119 damage
1. Flamethrower Damage: 77 damage
2. Fireball Damage: 42 damage (3 fireballs @ 14 damage each)
1. Delay Between Fireballs: ~1.2 seconds
1. Special Weapon Duration: 5 seconds
1. Tracking: Wide frontal cone
2. Rear Fire: No
3. SPECIAL NOTES: Flamethrower will periodically shoot fireballs if you can manage to keep the flamethrower on your opponent. The Flamethrower will lag behind opponents if they swerve too much. The Flamethrower’s reach is a lot longer than it looks. While testing this Special, a couple of times I got 4 fireballs instead of 3. I’m not sure what triggered this, but it seemed to be about 1 in 4 Special Weapon uses. This extra fireball resulted in 133 total damage.


Alternate Special Attack: “Shockwave”
1. Maximum Damage: 40
1. Shockwave Damage: 20
2. Burn Over Time Damage: 20 (over 7 seconds)
3. Time to Fully Charge: 1.5 seconds
4. Special Will Overheat After: 1.5 seconds
1. Tracking: None
2. Rear Fire: No
3. SPECIAL NOTES: The Shockwave has some knockback, but do not rely on it to completely deter pursuers as it is relatively weak.


GENERAL NOTES: Crimson Fury is a tier 1 unlock in online multiplayer. He is the fastest vehicle in the game with or without Turbo. He also has the tightest handbrake turning of any vehicle, too.
Reaper
Speed: 4
Armor: 1
Special Weapons: 5
Special Weapons Recharge Time: 19.5 seconds
Energy Recharge Time: 44 seconds
Maximum Health: 90
Fall Damage Taken: 27
Maximum Turbo: 32 seconds
Ram Damage (No Turbo): 4
Ram Damage (Turbo): 5
Ram Damage (Sixaxis Boost): 6


Default Special Attack: “Chainsaw”
1. Maximum Damage (Chainsaw): 40
1. Wheelie Time to Produce Flamesaw: 1 second
1. Maximum Damage (Flame Saw): 150
1. Time Before Flamesaw Reverts to Chainsaw: 18 ~ 18.5 seconds
2. Throwing Animation Time: 1 second
3. Travel Time Before Termination: 4 seconds
4. Delay Between Specials (if more than one in stock): ~3 seconds
1. Tracking: Very little (no tracking for Flame Saw)
2. Rear Fire: No
3. SPECIAL NOTES: To ready a Flame Saw, hold down on the left thumb stick to perform a wheelie while having the Chainsaw ready. The driver will drag the Chainsaw along the ground and heat up the blade, causing it to burst into flames. This attack deals more than triple the damage of the Chainsaw and will instant kill another Reaper, Crimson Fury, Kamikaze, or Talon. You will know if a Chainsaw is a Flame Saw when there are flames at the tip of the blade.


Alternate Special Attack: “RPG”
1. Maximum Damage (Stage 1): 45
1. Stage 1 Duration: 5 seconds
1. Maximum Damage (Stage 2): 80
1. Stage 2 Duration: 54 ~ 55 seconds
2. Delay Pulling Out RPG: ~0.8 seconds
3. Travel Time Before Termination: N/A
1. Tracking: None
2. Rear Fire: No
3. SPECIAL NOTES: Camera will change to an over-the-shoulder view to aim the RPG. Use left thumb stick to zoom in/out and right thumb stick to aim. Pulling out the RPG will cause Reaper to completely stop, so do not use it in the middle of an intense fight. Press R2 to manually detonate the RPG after firing at any time. After you launch the RPG, you can switch to other weapons and let the rocket cook for up to 59 ~ 60 seconds; if you switch back to the RPG while the rocket is still active, you will be able to drive around instead of being forced back into the over-the-shoulder view until the rocket is detonated.


GENERAL NOTES: Reaper is a tier 2 unlock in online multiplayer. Barring Juggernaut, Reaper has the lowest energy consumption coupled with the fastest energy regeneration. Reaper can Shield up to 4 times in one energy bar, so don’t be afraid to protect yourself because you only have 90 hp (the lowest of all vehicles in the game).
Darkside
Speed: 2
Armor: 4
Special Weapons: 4
Special Weapons Recharge Time: 31 seconds
Energy Recharge Time: 90 seconds
Maximum Health: 280
Fall Damage Taken: 84
Maximum Turbo: 49 seconds
Ram Damage (No Turbo): 33
Ram Damage (Turbo): 45
Ram Damage (Sixaxis Boost): 58


Default Special Attack: “Darkside Slam”
1. Maximum Damage (From Rest): 58
2. Maximum Damage (Max Speed): 78
1. Duration of Special: 0.5 seconds
2. Delay Between Specials (if more than one in stock): 1 second
1. Tracking: None
2. Rear Fire: Yes
3. SPECIAL NOTES: Max speed Darkslide Slam damage is the same no matter if you’re using no Turbo, Turbo, or Sixaxis Boost. Rear firing this Special Weapon will cause Semi Mines (see below) to deploy behind Darkside.


Alternate Special Attack: “50. Cal Tri-Gun”
1. Maximum Damage (Tap): 0
2. Maximum Damage (Continuous Fire): 59
1. Duration of Special (Continuous Fire): ~6.2 seconds
1. Turret Deploy Time: ~1.2 seconds
2. Tracking: 360 degrees
3. Rear Fire: Yes
4. SPECIAL NOTES: The barrel of the Tri-Gun takes time to rev up while shooting before dishing out the real damage. Letting go of R2 will reset the Tri-Gun and it will need to rev up again. Rear firing this Special Weapon will cause Semi Mines (see below) to deploy behind Darkside.


Reverse Special Attack: “Semi Mines”
1. Maximum Damage: 60 (4 mines @ 15 damage each)
1. Time Before Self Detonation: 15 seconds
1. Tracking: None
2. Rear Fire: Yes
3. SPECIAL NOTES: Deploys 4 mines that roll around unlike the Drop Mines. They are effected by gravity and will roll down inclines. These mines can hurt you, too.


GENERAL NOTES: Darkside is a tier 2 unlock in online multiplayer. If you are Darkside in a Nuke match, stick near Missile Carriers when opponents are headed to sacrifice. Freeze them and use a Sixaxis Boost and/or Darkside Slam to knock opponents away; you’d be surprised just how far you’ll send the smaller opponents flying. Switch to the 50. Cal Tri-Gun for air targets and try to use Semi Mines only in enclosed spaces (or if someone is riding your ass).
Roadboat
Speed: 2
Armor: 3
Special Weapons: 3
Special Weapons Recharge Time: 31 seconds
Energy Recharge Time: 90 seconds
Maximum Health: 210
Fall Damage Taken: 63
Maximum Turbo (in seconds): 58 seconds
Ram Damage (no Turbo): 32
Ram Damage (Turbo): 35
Ram Damage (Sixaxis Boost): 45


Default Special Attack: “Magnetic Projecticles”
1. Maximum Damage (No Bounce): 33 (3 projectiles @ 11 damage each)
2. Maximum Damage (One Bounce): 150 (3 projectiles @ 50 damage each)
1. Travel Time Before Termination: 12.5 seconds
1. Tracking: Wide frontal cone
2. Rear Fire: No
3. SPECIAL NOTES: Magnetic Projectiles can be fired into the air by looking up with the right thumb stick - they will home in on air targets as well. The projectiles will also bounce off the invisible map barriers (the laser grid walls you see when flying vehicles/projectiles). If the projectiles bounce more than once, they will not gain the bounce bonus. These projectiles can hurt you, too.


Alternate Special Attack: “Mega-Magnet”
1. Maximum Damage (Launch into Environment): 20
2. Maximum Damage (Launch into Fall Damage): Depends on how much fall damage opponent normally takes
1. Time to Fully Charge Launch: 2.5 seconds
1. Maximum Damage (Launch into another Opponent): 100 (70 to tossed opponent, 30 to toss receiver)
2. Maximum Damage (Ram into Environment): 75
3. Maximum Damage (Ram into another Opponent): 166 (121 damage to held opponent, 45 damage to opponent rammed into)
1. Time Before Opponent is Pulled Towards Magnet: 1.5 seconds
2. Duration of Special (magnet activated - before magnet is holding opponent): 4 seconds
3. Duration of Special (magnet activated - opponent trapped and not resisting): 7 seconds
1. Tracking: Wide frontal cone
2. Rear Fire: No
3. SPECIAL NOTES: Roadboat is best used on maps that have ledges for opponents to take fall damage. While it only takes 4 seconds to fully charge the magnet, most of the time opponents will break out in 1 ~ 3 seconds; instead of risking losing an opponent, try one of these three options: 1) Park close to a ledge and let the opponent fall off or quick launch them, 2) Sixaxis Boost into an environment object such as a wall or rock, or 3) Sixaxis Boost into another opponent (this one will be very situational and the opportunity will rarely ever present itself).


GENERAL NOTES: Roadboat is a tier 1 unlock in online multiplayer. Roadboat is a dick, plain and simple, not gonna sugar coat it. Every time you car starts to magically slide along the ground you’re gonna say “WHAT THE FUCK” and rage, knowing the next place you’re going is over a ledge. He is also good for stopping sacrifices with Faction Leaders by launching the sacrificer away from the Missile Carrier.

3. SPECIAL NOTES: Performs just like Death Warrant’s alternate Special albeit there are three Stages instead of two. Stage 3 will average about 40 - 65 damage on moving ground vehicles, but this will usually be more devastating against air targets.

Roadkill Continued


Reverse Special Attack: “Drop Mines”
1. Maximum Damage: 100 (4 mines @ 25 damage each)
1. Time Before Self Detonation: 15 seconds
2. Delay Before Mines can be Launched: 2 seconds
1. Tracking: None
2. Rear Fire: No
3. SPECIAL NOTES: Exactly similar to Darkside’s Semi Mines, but are slower to deploy. Rolls down slopes. These mines can hurt you, too.


GENERAL NOTES: Roadkill is a tier 1 unlock in online multiplayer. Comparing the default Special charge time + damage against the alternate Special charge time + damage generates skepticism on which is more desirable. Rarely will you ever get the full 122 damage on an opponent with the Stage 3 alternate Special unless they’re retarded. Due to the extremely long Special Weapon recharge time, use your Specials sparingly, preferably against Talons and nukes as they are normally more vulnerable targets. NEVER deploy the Drop Mines unless you’re in a tight hallway, being pursued with little health left, and as a last resort.

Default Special Attack: “Flame Thrower”
1. Maximum Damage: 109 damage
1. Flamethrower Damage: 67 damage
2. Fireball Damage: 42 damage (3 fireballs @ 14 damage each)
1. Delay Between Fireballs: ~1.2 seconds
1. Special Weapon Duration: 5 seconds
1. Tracking: Wide frontal cone
2. Rear Fire: No
3. SPECIAL NOTES: Works exactly the same as Crimson Fury’s flame thrower. While testing this Special, a couple of times I got 4 fireballs instead of 3. I’m not sure what triggered this, but it seemed to be about 1 in 4 Special Weapon uses. This extra fireball resulted in 123 total damage.


Alternate Special Attack: “Shock Freeze”
1. Maximum Damage: 20
1. Time to Fully Charge: 1.5 seconds
2. Special Will Overheat After: 1.5 seconds
1. Tracking: None
2. Rear Fire: No
3. SPECIAL NOTES: The Shock Freeze will freeze all opponents within the blast radius; great for using near mobile Missile Carriers in Nuke when clusters of enemies gather.


GENERAL NOTES: Kamikaze is one of three starter vehicles in online multiplayer. He is the second fastest vehicle in the game next to Crimson Fury, but handling is not as tight; however, he makes up for it with 1 more armor rating and 40 more health.
Shadow
Speed: 2
Armor: 3
Special Weapons: 2
Special Weapons Recharge Timer: 34.5 seconds
Energy Recharge Time: 90 seconds
Maximum Health: 230
Fall Damage Taken: 69
Maximum Turbo: 58 seconds
Ram Damage (No Turbo): 33
Ram Damage (Turbo): 35
Ram Damage (Sixaxis Boost): 45


Default Special Attack: “Death Coffin”
1. Maximum Damage (Stage 1): 30
1. Duration of Stage 1: 1.5 seconds
1. Maximum Damage (Stage 2): 90
1. Duration of Stage 2: 11 seconds
1. Tracking: None
2. Rear Fire: Yes
3. SPECIAL NOTES: Death Coffin has a very large blast radius, be wary of detonating the coffin while you’re near it.


Alternate Special Attack: “Reticle Death Coffin”
1. Maximum Damage (Stage 1): 70
1. Duration of Stage 1: 5 seconds
1. Maximum Damage (Stage 2): 130
1. Duration of Stage 2: 55 seconds
1. Tracking: None
2. Rear Fire: No
3. SPECIAL NOTES: When activating the alternate Special, a ballistics line will appear showing the path the coffin will travel. Use right thumb stick to aim the coffin up or down. While the coffin is in the air, you can press R2 to force the coffin to drop straight down at its current position - this makes it useful if you want to overshoot an opponent who is running away and drop a coffin directly in front of them. Again, the coffin has a very large blast radius so don’t get too close when detonating. During Stage 2, this Special will spew an absurd amount of purple sparks, making it highly noticeable and easy to avoid (if a player is being observant).


GENERAL NOTES: Shadow is a tier 2 unlock in online multiplayer.
Axel
Speed: 3
Armor: 2
Special Weapons: 3
Special Weapons Recharge Time: 39 seconds
Energy Recharge Time: 60 seconds
Maximum Health: 170
Fall Damage Taken: 51
Ram Damage (No Turbo): 27
Ram Damage (Turbo): 30
Ram Damage (Sixaxis Boost): 39


Default Special Attack: “Spike Crush Attack”
1. Maximum Damage: 70
1. Additional Damage: +10 for each subsequent crush attack
2. Delay Before Special Will do Damage: 1 second
3. Special Weapon Duration: 10 seconds
1. Tracking: None
2. Rear Fire: No
3. SPECIAL NOTES: It takes approximately 1 second before Axel’s Special will be able to deal damage (driver has to pull in wheels and deploy spikes). Ramming during this “ready phase” will cause normal ram damage. If the player is using Turbo when they run over an opponent, Axel will instead cause an explosion, dealing 80 damage and throwing Axel out of his Special while also sending the enemy flying. It is possible to run over opponents backwards while this Special is active.


Alternate Special Attack: “Crowd Controller”
1. Maximum Damage: 20
1. Time to Fully Charge: 1.5 seconds
2. Special Will Overheat After: 5 seconds
1. Tracking: None
2. Rear Fire: No
3. SPECIAL NOTES: Crowd Controller can pass through walls and in some cases travel down or up some surfaces. Has extreme knockback when opponents are close to Axel.


GENERAL NOTES: At the time of this writing, Axel is only available as a pre-order bonus. He will be available to all players 30 days after initial game release date. Axel is immediately available to those who pre-ordered and entered the special promo code. Axel has the highest jump of any vehicle currently in the game, high enough to leap over the buildings near City Hall in Sunsprings, California map.
Warthog
Speed: 2
Armor: 4
Special Weapons: 3
Special Weapons Recharge Time: 31 seconds
Energy Recharge Time: 90 seconds

1. Maximum Damage: 60
1. Additional Damage: +10 for each subsequent crush attack
2. Special Weapon Duration: 10 seconds
1. Tracking: None
2. Rear Fire: No
3. SPECIAL NOTES: Important to note that this is not actually a turret, it is a crush attack exactly like Axel’s, but has no deployment phase before it can do damage. Ramming an opponent while using Turbo will cause an explosion, dealing 70 damage and throwing Warthog out of his Special while also sending the opponent flying. It is possible to run over opponents backwards while this Special is active.


Alternate Special Attack: “Super Crush”
1. Maximum Damage: 30
1. Time to Fully Charge: 2 seconds
2. Special Will Overheat After: 3 seconds
1. Tracking: None
2. Rear Fire: No
3. SPECIAL NOTES: Like Axel’s alternate Special, Super Crush will travel through walls and in some cases travel down or up some surfaces. Has medium knockback.


GENERAL NOTES: Warthog is a single player Story unlock after achieving gold medals on all missions on Twisted Difficulty. Warthog has a double damage weak spot underneath the vehicle that is vulnerable when he is using his Special Weapons; use a shield to protect yourself while performing a Special attack. He has the highest maximum health of any vehicle besides Juggernaut. Due to Warthog’s absurd amount of Turbo, you should never NOT be using it, especially since Turbo pickups have short respawn time and refill Turbo to 100%.


Sweet Tooth
Speed: 2
Armor: 4
Special Weapons: 5
Special Weapons Recharge Timer: 31 seconds
Energy Recharge Time: 90 seconds
Maximum Health: 250

2. Delay Between Specials (if more than one in stock): 1.5 seconds
1. Tracking: Wide frontal cone
2. Rear Fire: Yes
3. SPECIAL NOTES: Laughing Ghost can travel through walls. The targeting range is very large and will target opponents who are more than 12 seconds away from you. The projectile can also be targeted by opponents and destroyed, assuming it’s not inside the environment where it can’t be hit.


Alternate Special Attack: “Sweet Bot”
1. “Head Throw”
1. Maximum Damage: 20
1. Travel Time Before Termination: 5 seconds
2. Delay Between Specials (if more than one in stock): 2.5 seconds
1. Tracking: Wide frontal cone
2. Rear Fire: No
3. SPECIAL NOTES: Consumes Special Weapon. Does not travel through walls. Will force Sweet Bot back into vehicle form if there are no Special Weapons available; only use this ability if you have more than one Special Weapon in stock.
1. “Sweet Slam”
1. Maximum Damage: 60
2. SPECIAL NOTES: L1 + R1 to perform while in the air. Does not consume Special Weapon, consumes Turbo. Damage depends on height dropped from. Shockwave has decent knockback.
1. “Shoulder Slam”
1. Maximum Damage: 58
2. SPECIAL NOTES: Sixaxis Boost to perform. Does not consume Special Weapon, consumes Turbo. Can be used while flying and has a small bit of close, frontal cone tracking.
1. SPECIAL NOTES: L1 + R1 + either thumb stick to begin flying. Flying in Sweet Bot form will gradually consume Turbo. Player will be forced out of Sweet Bot if hit by a Freeze Missile. Sweet Bot can be activated while in mid air, good for preventing fall damage if you’re thrown over a ledge. When in Sweet Bot form, any sidearm will be replaced by Mounted Guns - because of this, it is highly recommended you find Mega Guns before activating Sweet Bot as Mega Guns will have slightly better tracking.


GENERAL NOTES: Sweet Tooth is a tier 2 unlock in online multiplayer. He is the only other vehicle that can fly. ALWAYS keep AT LEAST one Special Weapon in stock for Sweet Bot.
Junkyard Dog

1. Delay Between Specials (if more than one in stock): 1.5 seconds
2. Time Before Self Detonation: 5 seconds
1. Tracking: Narrow frontal and rear cone
2. Rear Fire: Yes
3. SPECIAL NOTES: Junkyard Dog can “ready” a Special by hitching it on the back of his truck. Ramming the taxi into an opponent while it is attached to your vehicle will still cause Taxi Slam damage. The taxi can also block incoming enemy fire. Rear firing this Special will cause it to act like a mine and will explode after 5 seconds, or when it comes into contact with an opponent.


Alternate Special Attack: “Team Health Drop” (Team Game Modes)
1. Maximum Healing (Stage 1): 50
1. Stage 1 Duration: 5 seconds
1. Maximum Healing (Stage 2): 108
1. Stage 2 Duration: 55
1. Tracking: None
2. Rear Fire: Yes
3. SPECIAL NOTES: In team based game modes, Junkyard Dog’s alternate Special is a health taxi. Teammates will be alerted to the drop of a health taxi by the narrator stating, “Your teammate has dropped a health taxi.” The taxi will also be visible on the minimap, indicated by a white car icon. Detonating the taxi with R2 will cause a healing circle to spread out across the ground, healing any nearby teammates. It is possible for teammates to outrun the healing wave. You CANNOT heal yourself with this Special.

1. Tracking: None
2. Rear Fire: Yes
3. SPECIAL NOTES: In free for all game modes, the Team Health Drop is replaced by a Shockwave Taxi that will explode and release an area of effect fire wave. This fire wave can hurt you as well.


GENERAL NOTES: Junkyard Dog is a tier 1 unlock in online multiplayer. He is the only vehicle that has an ability to heal other teammates and his Special has different properties in different games modes. He is a key player in team games and should be targeted first as he cannot heal himself. It is ideal to stock up on taxis in team games for healing as there is no cool down on the healing effect on teammates.

Press R2 or D-pad down a second time to launch the mines. The mines will launch PARALLEL TO THE TRAILER, not the direction the truck cab is facing. Rolling mines can hurt you as well.


Alternate Special Attack: “Cab and Trailer Mounted Turrets” (manned by other players)
1. “Cab Mounted Tri-Gun Turret”
1. Maximum Damage: 400 damage over 5 ~ 6 seconds
1. Turret Will Overheat After: 16 seconds

1. Turret Maximum Health: 100
2. Turret Respawn Time After Destroyed: 60 seconds
3. Tracking: Targeting box
4. Rear Fire: No
5. SPECIAL NOTES: Turret has 360 degree range of motion, but it can only fire within about 250 ~ 300 degrees due to hitting the trailer behind it. When turret overheats, it will stay overheated until you release R2. Turret can be fired again before it completely cools down. Keeping a target within the smaller targeting box will increase damage.
1. “Swarm Missile Launcher”
1. Maximum Damage: 80 (8 missiles @ 10 damage each)

Alternate Special Attack: “Cab and Trailer Mounted Turrets” (manned by other players) Continued
1. SPECIAL NOTES: To let teammates inside the trailer, press Triangle + R1. While the trailer doors are open, opponents can shoot inside the trailer to deal double damage. Players will take control of one of two turrets on Juggernaut. To switch between turrets (assuming only one person is in the trailer), press R1 or L1. Turrets can be individually attacked and, when the turret explodes, the player manning the turret will die, too. Killing Juggernaut while other players are riding in the turrets will kill those players, too. Players cannot enter an enemy player’s Juggernaut.


GENERAL NOTES: Juggernaut is a tier 3 unlock in online multiplayer. In team based game modes, only one Juggernaut can be active per team at any given time, and Juggernauts only have one life and will be unselectable for the rest of the match if it is destroyed. In free-for-all modes, players can select as many Juggernauts as they want.

Health Semi
1. Health Restored: 100%

Quick Note on Homing Projectiles
Be wary that when performing an e-brake turn, most projectiles will carry your momentum. For example: If you are making a hard right turn, lock on to an opponent, and fire a Homing Missile, the projectile will initially fire in the direction you are drifting and then curve back around to hit your target. For projectiles which have no tracking ability, they will initially fire in the direction you are drifting but obviously will head in a straight line instead of homing in on your intended target.

4. Travel Time Before Termination: N/A
5. SPECIAL NOTES: Laser Pistol is a single player Story unlock after beating the game on Twisted Difficulty.
Quick Note on Sidearms
Some sidearms tend to have a hard time tracking moving players and will “lag behind” the target, unless the target is moving in a somewhat straight path. For other sidearms, such as the Magnum Revolver and Laser Pistol, you will need to lead your shots as they have no auto tracking.


Larger vehicles such as Darkside may have a hard time targeting smaller opponents at very close range with some sidearms, like the Submachine Gun, because most of the time you will shoot over them instead of at them. Compensate for this by firing a little before you make contact with your opponent, or pick the Rockets or Shotgun sidearm that are hard to miss with.
Energy Abilities
Freeze Missile
1. Maximum Damage: 1
2. Delay Between Shots: Depends on vehicle energy recharge and consumption rates
3. Tracking: Wide frontal cone
4. Travel Time Before Termination (in seconds):
5. Rear Fire: Yes
6. SPECIAL NOTES: Rear fire Freeze Missile is a tier 2 unlock in online multiplayer. If you freeze an opponent who’s already frozen, YOU will be frozen instead and the enemy will be unfrozen. This is called a “Freeze Cheap Shot”. The amount of time an opponent is frozen depends on the armor of their vehicle - less armored vehicles will be frozen for a shorter amount of time.
Drop Mine
1. Maximum Damage: 10
2. Delay Between Drops:
3. Tracking: None
4. Active Time Before Termination: 15
5. Rear Fire: That’s why it’s called “Drop” Mine

2. Delay Between Shields: No delay if you have enough energy
3. SPECIAL NOTES: Absorption Shield is a tier 3 unlock in online multiplayer. Absorption Shield will absorb any incoming attack and generate 1 of that weapon in your arsenal, even Special Weapons. In addition to absorbing an attack, you will launch a full charged Stalker Missile back at your attacker.

Quick Note on Energy Abilities
You’ll notice at the bottom left of your screen there will be an energy bar below 3 ability icons. Left is Drop Mine, up is Freeze Missile, and right is Shield. Around each icon is a very faint blue glow; these blue glows represent the ALTERNATE energy abilities - Triangle + D-pad left is Super Drop Mine, Triangle + D-pad up is rear Freeze Missile, and Triangle + D-pad right is Absorption Shield.


The alternate abilities cost more energy - you may have enough energy to lay a Drop Mine, but not enough for a Super Drop Mine. If you look carefully as the energy bar recharges, the faint blue glow around each icon will also re-appear, indicating that you have enough energy to use the alternate abilities. As the bar recharges, each ability will also be accompanied by an audible sound letting you know that an ability is ready to be used.


There are only three vehicles in the game that have energy recharge rates faster than 90 seconds - Reaper (44 seconds), Axel (60 seconds), and Talon (32 seconds). Juggernaut uses the least energy per ability, followed by Reaper, then Talon. Everyone else uses about the same amount of energy when using energy abilities.
Game Mode Tips
Team/Death Match
Surprisingly, death match in Twisted Metal is not quite the same as it is in other games. While you get points for directly killing an opponent, it may not necessarily mean you'll win a match if you have the most kills. Instead, the player at the end of the match with the most “Points” wins.
1. Attack as many players as you can just to get in a bit of damage on them. If you don't kill someone, don't fret – you'll get an assist depending on how much damage you've done when another player kills them.
2. You can get bonus points if you solely kill an opponent.
3. MEMORIZE HEALTH PICK UP LOCATIONS! I can't stress this enough as you want to keep your opponents from turning you into POINTS!
4. Don't be afraid to cherry pick. This is about survival of the fittest, so if you see an         opponent with a sliver of health left, unload everything you've got to get what few assist points you can garner... but be wary that if you are the one with the sliver of health left, you'll be the one getting raped.
5. If you are playing Team Death Match, don’t be afraid to help a teammate if they are in trouble, especially if you are Junkyard Dog. Try to provide a freeze missile for your teammate to make an escape, or some other form of distraction. One less point for the enemy team is a win for your team.
Team/Hunted
This mode involves marking one player (or two in Team Hunted) The Hunted, essentially making him the mouse and all the other players are cats. Players score points by either killing The Hunted, or killing enemies while marked as The Hunted. The player with the most kills at the end of the round wins.
1. You can only score if YOU get the killing blow on The Hunted, or YOU make a kill while being The Hunted. Killing other normal players will yield no points other than boosting your kill/death ratio (although killing off your competition will make it easier for you to kill The Hunted, so it’s your choice).
2. In Team Hunted, when one of The Hunted dies, it will randomly mark another player on that team with The Hunted status (it does not transfer to the killer like in free for all Hunted).
3. In free for all Hunted, the priority of The Hunted is mainly to SURVIVE. As the other players are chasing you, they will slowly whittle each other down. Move in for a quick strike and steal any kills you can before going back on the run again.
4. IMPORTANT NOTE: The Hunted CANNOT BE FROZEN BY A FREEZE MISSILE!


Team/Last Man Standing
Just as it sounds, this is an elimination game. Each player starts with a pool of lives (normally 3) and will permanently be knocked out of the competition after their lives reach 0. In Team Last Man Standing, each team shares one pool of lives (5 lives). After the lives are exhausted, every death thereafter will remove that player from the competition until the whole team has been eliminated. Players (or teams) win by being the last ones alive.
1. This is one game mode you should not be ashamed of ganging up on enemy players. If you find yourself being ganged up on, RUN! Run until backup arrives, or find crafty ways to separate opponents so you can have a 1 on 1 fight.
2. As with any game mode, MEMORIZE HEALTH PICKUP LOCATIONS! You don’t want to be that one guy who wastes all your teams lives (or your own if you’re playing free for all).
3. If you see an enemy going for a health pickup, do everything in your power to prevent him from grabbing it. You don’t want to spend anymore time than you have to killing someone in this game mode.
Nuke
I generally see the most number of questions asking “HOW DO I PLAY NUKE MODE?!” Well, listen up because I'm about to tell you how to fucking play Nuke. Here we go with the basics:
Nuke Mode Basics
1. There are 3 rounds (6 innings). Each round, teams will take turns on Offense and Defense
2. There are two         Missile Carriers – one inside the Offense's base, and a mobile one that drives around the map (both are marked by a missile icon on your map and screen)
3. The Defending team has 2 Faction Leaders that will randomly spawn in preset locations. They are denoted by the large “CAPTURE” or “DEFEND” text accompanied by a picture if they're a Clown or a Doll
4. Faction Leaders will respawn in another location if they are dropped or after they are sacrificed and a nuke explodes
5. Faction Leaders will not respawn as long as the enemy team holds them or a nuke is being controlled
6. This is not a Death Match, so fucking stop dicking around 1 on 1 in the middle of town
Nuke Mode Offense
1. Offense scores by flying a nuke into the enemy team's statue. 1 point is awarded for every successful hit – 1 extra point is awarded if Offense manages to nuke the enemy's statue 3 times in one inning (for a total of 4 points per inning)
1. Your objective is to capture the enemy Faction Leaders and sacrifice them at one of the two Missile Carriers on the map
2. Capture a Faction Leader by running over them
3. Sacrifice a Faction Leader by staying behind one of the two Missile Carriers until the circle fills up (if you leave the vicinity of a Missile Carrier, the sacrifice timer will slowly reset) NOTE!: Teams cannot sacrifice two Faction Leaders at the same time at the same Missile Carrier.
1. Sacrifice time         limit depends on your vehicle – Reaper and Crimson Fury will sacrifice Faction Leaders the fastest, while Darkside and Talon have the slowest sacrificing times (Talon is only slow because he can fly)
2. You CAN shield yourself using D-Pad right while sacrificing a Faction Leader. USE IT!
1. Controls for the nuke are inverted, so be careful. Press D-Pad right while         controlling a nuke to shield it for a brief period of time. NOTE: Shielding your nuke will deplete some of the fuel (the big blue bar). If your fuel runs out, it will explode whether or not you've hit the enemy statue
2. If you can't reach the Faction Leader located up in the cliff area, you can shoot either of the two satellite dishes until it explodes, creating a ramp up to the area where that Faction Leader is located. Tip: Alternatively,         you can try using the “Quick Boost” to launch yourself up the cliff face, but it may take many tries
3. Vehicle Tips:
1. Darkside players should try to block incoming damage while teammates sacrifice Faction Leaders
2. Talon players can use their alternate Special to lift enemy players away from teammates who are in the process of sacrificing a Faction Leader
3. Vermin players can use their alternate Special RC Rat Rocket to accompany team nukes; it the Rat Rocket will cause all enemy's missiles to attack it         instead of the nuke
Nuke Mode Defense
1. Defense can score by preventing Offense from damaging the statue. This results in a “Defender” bonus and awards 1 point per inning
1. Your objective is to prevent your opponents from launching a nuke AT ALL COSTS! This         means drop whatever the fuck you're doing and free your Faction Leaders if they are captured
2. DON'T DICK AROUND TRYING TO KILL AN ENEMY PLAYER IF THEY POSE NO THREAT
3. To free Faction Leaders, all you have to do is kill the player who has them captured
4. Once the player dies, the Faction Leaders will automatically respawn in a random preset location
5. If Offense manages to launch a nuke, your NUMBER ONE PRIORITY is to take down that nuke. Anything with homing capabilities will do just fine. Tip: A Sniper Rifle can take down a nuke in one shot if you can target it long enough
6. Vehicle Tips:
1. Darkside players are extremely effective at defending the mobile Missile Carrier's sacrificing zone. Learn your Darkside Slam Special, use it, love it, and make use of that size
2. Talon players can easily carry away an Offense player by using the Drop Magnet Special
3. Outlaw, Death Warrant, Talon, Darkside, and Vermin all have Special attacks that can easily target a nuke. If a nuke is launched, your top priority should be to use whatever you have to take it down
4. Crimson Fury and Reaper will have a heyday on opponents who are trying to sacrifice, since they have to stay in a confined area. This makes them easy pickings for the Flamethrower and Flamesaw

Blackrock Stadium
Note: West-East will be determined by the red and blue spotlights in the fenced in area as West, and the green spotlights in the fenced in area as East.
Health Pickup Locations
1. Bottom level of the structure in the center of the arena (in the spike trap room).
2. One at each end of the stadium on the outer edges (behind the fenced in areas).

Destructibles
1. As there are no destructibles on this map, I will talk about Environmental Hazards instead.
1. Lava pits are at the bottom of both ends of the arena. Driving in the lava will slowly drain your health until you find the exit ramp.
2. Swinging spike balls will deal about ¼ of your maximum health. They cannot be destroyed or stopped by any means.
3. The spike trap room at the bottom of the center structure will occasionally activate, slamming spikes down into the floor and crushing any opponents. This usually results in an instant suicide.
4. There is an electrified floor in front of each fenced in area (right sides if you are facing this area). It will slowly drain your health if you stand in the electricity.
5. Walls will constantly raise and lower from the floor around the arena. They deal no damage, but are a real nuisance when chasing, fighting, or running from opponents.
Buildings that can be Entered
1. The structure has 3 levels that can be accessed by ramps. The bottom level is a spike trap room that will periodically slam down spikes on you, usually an instant kill (you’ll know when the spikes are about to come down because red lights will flash in the area).
2. The skyway can be used to quickly run the length of the map to the opposite side of the arena. Occasionally, a health orb will hover along the skyway so keep an eye out.
Faction Leader Locations
1. Western and eastern outer edges of the stadium (behind the fenced in areas).
2. Inside western and eastern fenced in areas.
3. The beginning of each skyway leading off the top level of the center structure.
