[edit] Weaponry

There are no hitscan weapons in Dark Arena — bullets do not reach their destination immediately as in other games.

Note: Because of conflict in weapon names between the manual and game, both names for a weapon are listed. It will be: Manual Name/Game Name. If there is only one name listed, there is no name conflict between the game and the manual.

Pistol/Hand Laser 

The player always starts a level armed only with a pistol. It has unlimited ammunition, and can be a rather effective weapon against enemies with a pain state.

Pump-Action Shotgun/Combat Rifle 

The Shotgun fires three pistol shots at once. However, in spite of the fact that it is supposed to be a hotgun, the three shots usually stay in close proximity to one another to a great distance.

Laser Bolt Gun/Bolt Gun 

The Bolt Gun is Dark Arena's take on an autorifle. It fires pistol shots at a very rapid rate, although the exact rate seems to vary.

Plasma Blaster/Energy Cannon

The Plasma Blaster is Dark Arena's equivalent to Doom's Plasma Gun. It fires shots that are at least three times as powerful as pistol shots, but ammo for it is hard to come by.

Mini-V Rocket Launcher/ Rocket Launcher

The Rocket Launcher is a powerful weapon with a slow rate of fire and very hard-to-come-by ammo.

Guided Shoulder Missile/Guided Missile

The Guided Missile is one of Dark Arena's more interesting weapons. The missile is controlled from a first-person point of view. Uses the same launcher as the standard Rockets.

Night Scope Sniper Gun/ Zoom Scope

The Sniper Gun removes depth shading and fires very powerful shots. Ammo for it is a precious rarity.

Combat Energy Cannon/Energy Cannon

The Energy Cannon is Dark Arena's take on a BFG. It has to be charged for several seconds before being fired, but it deals out devastating carnage with a very large blast radius. It uses the same ammo as the Plasma Blaster.

Mines

These are throwable bombs that cannot be thrown through doors. These do high damage, but are very hard to use. They explode when the weapon is changed.
