Plasma Gun
--------------------------------------------------------------------

Starting Ammo :50
Max. Ammo :200
Range :Anywhere
Speed :Medium
Direct Hit Damage :20
Rate Of Fire :Very High

This is basically a Machinegun which fires balls of plasma instead.
It's great for clearing out rooms, but it's not really a sniping
weapon as each projectile is very visible. And since they can be
seen quite easily, enemies will be able to dodge them quite easily,
so spread out your shots (shake your mouse from side to side). This
really comes alive with Quad Damage on.

--------------------------------------------------------------------
Grenade Launcher
--------------------------------------------------------------------

Starting Ammo :10
Max. Ammo :200
Range :Small
Speed :Slllllllooooooowwwwwwwwwwww
Direct Hit Damage :120
Rate Of Fire :Medium

This is a great weapon for campers. It's more of a defensive tool
than it is offensive, as people tend to run away from them. It's
effective when you need to clear out a pack of bots too busy
fighting. Splash Damage is also considerably high. One more use for
them, when you're running around a corner from someone, drop a whole
stack down, and they'll run right into them. Boom.

--------------------------------------------------------------------
Rocket Launcher
--------------------------------------------------------------------

Starting Ammo :10
Max. Ammo :200
Range :Anywhere
Speed :Slow
Direct Hit Damage :100
Rate Of Fire :Medium

Well, to be honest, it's not what I expected. Quake's RL was better,
but nothing's perfect. Anyway. It's still a pretty good weapon, that
deals a lot of damage and goes far. You'll need to use a bit of
strategy with this weapon, as unless you're at point blank range,
your target will end up dodging it. When enemies have it, they can be
extremely annoying, and instead of direct hits, will try to inflict
some splash damage on you. But this should be the main weapon of
your impressive arsenal.

--------------------------------------------------------------------
Lightning Gun
--------------------------------------------------------------------

Starting Ammo :100
Max. Ammo :200
Range :Medium
Speed :Instant Shot
Direct Hit Damage :8
Rate Of Fire :Doesn't Stop

You'll need to be quite accurate for this weapon to be used effectively.
It's limited range doesn't help much either, and it's hardly up on
any of the good maps. Either that, or it's hard to find. It does
make a small noise when fired, so if you hear a little buzz, or see
a streak of blue in the air, you'll know someone's got ahold of this.

--------------------------------------------------------------------
Rail Gun
--------------------------------------------------------------------

Starting Ammo :10
Max. Ammo :200
Range :Anywhere
Speed :Instant Hit
Direct Hit Damage :100
Rate Of Fire :Slow

Whoo! The Rail Gun makes a return, and by golly it's good. Instant
kills! Instant hits! Yes! Too bad that it's slow to fire. It's the
perfect weapon for campers and snipers, and you'll need to practise
before you can really be a Rail Gun master. You'll need to practise
A LOT. An extremely dangerous weapon.

--------------------------------------------------------------------
BFG10K
--------------------------------------------------------------------

Starting Ammo :20
Max. Ammo :200
Range :Anywhere
Speed :Fast
Direct Hit Damage :100
Rate Of Fire :Fast

Now...imagine you could create a superweapon. What would you choose?
A Plasma Gun that's as poweful as the RL? Well, then you've got the
BFG10K!!! This is the sweetest weapon that any game could ever have.
But the levels that include the BFG probably have it hidden away in
some strange, far away land...so search for it, and then you'll be
unstoppable!!!

--------------------------------------------------------------------
Items
--------------------------------------------------------------------

There's two types of items, one which are used straight away, and
ones that can be used at your will. The ones that are used straight
away only last for 30 seconds. If an opponent dies and drops an
item, the count will stay the same as when the opponent had it, e.g
if the Quad Damage had 10 seconds left to go when he died, and you
pick it up, you'll have 10 seconds to use it.

--------------------------------------------------------------------
Items which are used straight away
--------------------------------------------------------------------

Armor

No matter if it's light or heavy, armor saves you from taking two
thirds of the damage you'd usually take. Always stock up, as this
might save your life in a heated battle.

--------------------------------------------------------------------
Battle Suit
--------------------------------------------------------------------

What this will do is protect you from any form of splash damage at
all (splash damage is for example, when a rocket hits the wall right
next to you and you still get damaged). So this means that falling
from high places, falling into lava, rocket jumping etc. will not
damage you.

--------------------------------------------------------------------
Flight
--------------------------------------------------------------------

Only available on one level, and it's really not much of a help
anyway. What it does is that it enables you to walk on air. Up, down,
left, right...it sure looks funny when someone's got it. It's really
not worth getting.

--------------------------------------------------------------------
Haste/Speed
--------------------------------------------------------------------

This is a pretty awesome item. What it does is it speeds your
movements up, and also speeds up your rate of fire. Combine this
with say, the Plasma Gun, BFG10K, or the Lightning Gun, you can
knock your opponent out before they know what hit them. It's also
great for when you're being chased by some idiot. Now, all you have
to do is pick up a BFG10K with 200 ammo, and then the Quad Damage...

--------------------------------------------------------------------
Invisibility
--------------------------------------------------------------------

Okay, they lied. You are slightly visible at close range, but it's
the ideal item for the camper/sniper. Your weapon output is still
visible. So if you think you can get away by firing your Plasma Gun
all over the place, think again. Don't mix this with Quad Damage,
otherwise the glowing effect of the Quad will just cancel the whole
invisible idea. Basically, equip the Rail Gun and pretend you're
Garrett from Thief (sneak around), but this time your mission is
to kill.

--------------------------------------------------------------------
Quad Damage
--------------------------------------------------------------------

YES!!! The only thing they got wrong was the name, it should be
called Tri Damage or something, as it doesn't deal 4 times the usual
damage. This is the best item in the whole game, and usually the
first guy to reach this will have an immeadiate stranglehold on the
game.

Don't use the RL when you've got Quad Damage, unless it's from far,
far away. Just remember, 3 times the damage, so if it splashes,
you're gone. Stick to the Plasma Gun, Machinegun, Shotgun and the
(SURPRISE!) Gauntlet. The BFG10K should be saved to surprise
everyone afterwards, to show them that you don't need the Quad to be
powerful, and the Rail Gun kills in one shot anyway.

Just be careful when someone picks the Quad up. What you'll want to
do is to kill the person who's got it, swiftly, and then grab it for
yourself. Otherwise, one word.

Run.

--------------------------------------------------------------------
Regeneration
--------------------------------------------------------------------

This item gradually increases your health, but not to above 200. If
you're under the 100 health mark, it raise by 15 health per second,
and when you're over 100, it'll raise by 5 per second. This helps when
you're going to rush into a battle.

--------------------------------------------------------------------
Items which you have to use
--------------------------------------------------------------------

Medkit

With a press of a button, this handy item will bring you back up to
100 health. It's not that effective, and you'll usually use it just
as you're about to die, but then, it's easy to mistime.

--------------------------------------------------------------------
Personal Teleporter
--------------------------------------------------------------------

This takes you to a random location in the map. Sure, it sounds good
when you're falling to your death, but using it to get out of a
battle is just plain cowardness.

--------------------------------------------------------------------
3)Skills
--------------------------------------------------------------------

Skills. Special Moves. Hints. Tips. Whatever.

--------------------------------------------------------------------
Rocket Jump
--------------------------------------------------------------------

Everyone should know about the Rocket Jump. Once you've got the RL,
simply jump up while looking at the ground, and fire to get a big
boost. You'll take a small amount of damage, but it does get you to
your destination quicker. And don't use it when you're on low life,
just don't.

--------------------------------------------------------------------
Splash Damage
--------------------------------------------------------------------

Just remember, with the RL and some other weapons, you don't have to
hit the opponent directly to deal damage, rather, you can aim for a
section of wall/floor near the opponent and you'll still deal some
damage, albeit less than you would if you hit them directly. Great
for those levels where they're walking on platforms right above you.
