Weapon Maps

Weapon Maps are a common map type within both the former Flash-based Bonk.io and the current HTML5-based Bonk.io, being an important part of them both.
By definition, these maps involve gameplay where players are encouraged to collide with each other by using moving platforms to knock or instantly kill other players. Generally, weapons are used in conjunction with other map traits, such as having a PvP factor present as well.
A large amount of the Flash-based Bonk.io's famous maps include this to some degree, including battle for the swing, Classic by Chaz, Meridian, etc. The map type is also found within Death Arrow Arenas andDeathball maps, two of the largest map types within the HTML5-based Bonk.io.

===Arrow-based Modes===
Within Arrow-based gamemodes, players are able to launch arrows at each other, which can be used to knock or kill other players, effectively making them weapons. This also makes maps that otherwise would be fully PvP-based able to contain some elements of Weapon Maps. As seen in Figure 1, these maps can oftentimes be fully based around the map trait, given that it is within Death Arrows mode.
===Player-Influenced Maps===
Within a large amount of maps where a player can influence a platform, they can oftentimes use it to launch it towards another player, serving as a battering ram of sorts. This is present within a large amount of some of the most famous maps published within both the former Flash-based and current HTML5-based Bonk.io's. As seen in Figure 2, an example of such a battering ram is present within the map Overhead by Official - when the overhead rotating platform is knocked over, it is able to swing and knock other players off the map.
===Attached Weapons===
The most common type of weapon map within the Flash-based Bonk.io, and less so within the current HTML5-based Bonk.io, is the usage of attaching deadly weapons around a player such as swords, axes, etc. via a 'suit' mechanism. This type of weapon map is considered by many to be the only true type of weapons map, with the other maps listed on this page better classed as PvP maps.
The suit mechanism was pioneered extremely early in Flash-based Bonk, with one of the earliest known examples being the Community Picks map Gentleman's Disagreement by Querp.
These weapons allow players to kill each other, and some types of weapon can also result in accidental suicide.
The premise of these maps is to maneuver your deadly weapon between the gaps within the suit surrounding another player, in order to kill them with your deadly weapon. An example of what a deadly attached weapon is shown in Figure 3.
