Duelling Arena

In *Micro Tanks*, **Duelling Arenas** are a multiplayer Game Mode. In order to play these arenas, there must be more than 1 player selected in the Main Menu.

The "Mode Colour" of the duelling arena is orange. This means the dashboard and entry banners are all orange in colour.

## Rules

Duelling Arenas do not contain any enemy tanks, only Player Tanks. In this gamemode, Friendly Fire is forced on, and cannot be turned off in the settings. The goal is for the player to try and kill the other player, and be the last player standing. When the last player is left standing, a banner appears declaring which player won. If both players died at the exact same moment, the banner will declare "IT'S A DRAW!" Afterwards, the number of victories each player has obtained is displayed. There is no limit to how many duels can be played, but the duel ends when the player chooses to return to the Duel Select menu.

Special weapons are forbidden in arenas. Permanent upgrades will apply to both players.

## Arenas

There are currently 24 different arenas available. These arenas contain various blockers and elements you'd see in normal levels, including features from both the Classic and Adventure Campaign. Unlike missions in campaigns, the arenas all have given names. In general, arenas pitch players 1 and 2 far apart from each other, or on opposite sides of the map. All arenas, except "Unfair Fight", are symmetrical in order to give the players an equal advantage. Although the primary and ultimate goal of a fight is to kill the other player, the arenas offer a wide array of ways to achieve this. Some are straightforward PVP, whereas others seclude the players so they can't directly shoot each other and they have to rely on other means, such as explosions, fire, or gas, to kill the other player. One arena, Phosgene Room, is not a fight at all, but rather a contest to see which player can survive longer in a room filling with Phosgene gas.

By default, the first four arenas are available immediately. The remaining arenas must be unlocked by reaching a certain mission in 2-player mode. Every 5 missions beaten in the Classic Campaign in 2-player mode, a new arena is unlocked.
