[[Arena Carriables|Carriables]] are objects in the arena that can be picked up and carried by contestants. They can be thrown and may have special effects. | |||
==Overview== | |||
When a contestant picks up an arena carriable, it will float weightlessly in front of them, allowing them to carry the object around the arena for any duration. The object can also be thrown forwards. | |||
The velocity of the throw increases with each weight class, with the [[Heavy]] throwing carriables the furthest, although the difference is small. | |||
Thrown carriables (apart from the [[Powder Canister]] and [[Goo Barrel]]) will always deal 50 contact damage to enemy contestants. Depending on the type of object, it may also be destroyed or activated upon impact. | |||
[[:Category:Sticky Gadgets|Sticky gadgets]] can be attached to each type of carriable object (although there are few carriables that have enough surface area to support the [[Guardian Turret]] and [[APS Turret]]). Gadgets add weight to carriable objects, causing them to fly with a lower velocity when thrown. Additonally, sticky gadgets that need to be triggered in some way to activate (such as mines and C4) will be disarmed if a carriable object it is placed on is picked up. This removes the possibility of creating a "nuke" or "snuke" with the [[Explosive Canister|explosive canister]] which was very popular during season 1. | |||
== Usage == | |||
Contestants can pick up arena carriables from the ground by looking at them so that they are highlighted, and pressing the dedicated pick up key. | |||
After carrying the object around, the contestant can either let go of the object or throw it, causing it to fly forwards in an arc. | |||

Carriables are objects in the arena that can be picked up and carried by contestants. They can be thrown and may have special effects.
Overview
When a contestant picks up an arena carriable, it will float weightlessly in front of them, allowing them to carry the object around the arena for any duration. The object can also be thrown forwards.
The velocity of the throw increases with each weight class, with the Heavy throwing carriables the furthest, although the difference is small.
Thrown carriables (apart from the Powder Canister and Goo Barrel) will always deal 50 contact damage to enemy contestants. Depending on the type of object, it may also be destroyed or activated upon impact.
Sticky gadgets can be attached to each type of carriable object (although there are few carriables that have enough surface area to support the Guardian Turret and APS Turret). Gadgets add weight to carriable objects, causing them to fly with a lower velocity when thrown. Additonally, sticky gadgets that need to be triggered in some way to activate (such as mines and C4) will be disarmed if a carriable object it is placed on is picked up. This removes the possibility of creating a "nuke" or "snuke" with the explosive canister which was very popular during season 1.
Usage
Contestants can pick up arena carriables from the ground by looking at them so that they are highlighted, and pressing the dedicated pick up key.
After carrying the object around, the contestant can either let go of the object or throw it, causing it to fly forwards in an arc.
