How to Play

Your primary objective is to be the last vehicle standing in chaotic arena-based combat. You control an armed vehicle, using its primary weapon to damage opponents and a variety of specialized secondary weapons found scattered across the map, such as homing missiles and mines.

Each vehicle has a unique special attack activated by collecting a power-up. Focus on maneuvering to avoid enemy fire while lining up your own shots.

In the early moments of a match, prioritize scavenging for weapon pickups to gain an advantage. As the match progresses, learn the unique handling and attack patterns of your chosen vehicle, and use the destructible environment for cover.

During tense moments with multiple opponents, try to isolate enemies and use powerful special weapons to quickly eliminate threats. The key to survival is constant movement and strategic use of the environment to control the flow of battle.
