Things you can buy

Armor Sets

Armor sets modify your character’s abilities, allowing you to jump higher, swim faster or take more damage from enemies. Each suit is different, so make sure you read each description before buying. Arsenal Megacorp does not issue refunds.

Prototypes

Prototypes are pre-upgraded, limited use armor sets that can be purchased for a much cheaper price than it would cost to purchase an armor and upgrade it from scratch. You can distinguish prototypes from other Armorsets by the yellow backgrounds behind the icons

Weapons

Looking for a new weapon to take into battle? Find your new best friend here.

Skins

Skins are new coats of paint for your armor. Buy or rent these these to customize your armor’s appearance. (Purchaseable skin icons have purple backgrounds, and rentable skins have yellow backgrounds)

Mods

Mods are limited-use skins that provide your player with an additional boost in one particular stat. You can distinguish mods from other skins by their yellow backgrounds and the upgrade image displayed in the upper right corner of the icon.

One more thing to know…

• Level Requirements
  • You cannot purchase items until you’ve reached the level requirement listed in the item description. You level up by winning games, so keep on playing to unlock items in the store!

Arsenal Megacorp sensors can not interface with your armor if it is not energized. Therefore if you run out of energy, you cannot earn Credits when playing games.

Your energy will recharge over time. If you're eager to jump back into active testing, you can use power cells to refill your energy.

Recharging with powercells

To recharge your energy meter with power cells, simply tap on the recharge button in the center of the screen.

Purchasing Power Cells

If you don’t have any power cells, you can PURCHASE them from the iTunes store.

Energy Recharge

Energy recharges slowly over time until your energy bar is full. You don't need to fully depleat your energy in order for it to recharge. Your energy level will automatically begin to recharge as soon as you play an energized game and consume some energy. Energy recharges one game at a time until the bar is full.

TIP: You can user Power Cells to immediately recharge your energy bar. More power cells are required to recharge an empty energy meter and fewer power cells are required to recharge a partially filled energy meter. If you do not have enough power cells to fully replenish your energy meter, the game will attempt to replenish a portion of your energy bar if sufficient power cells are available.

Before entering our training facilities, you may choose the type of arena you'd like to enter:

World

Get matched against other players of your skill level from our global pool of Megacorp testers.

Friends

Already acquainted with fellow employees? Well invite them from your Plus+ friends list to play against you.

Bots

Play a practice match against computer controlled opponents. (You will not earn Credits playing against bots, but you will not spend energy either). Upgrades do not work in practice matches. Standard issue practice gear is provided for your convenience

Welcome to the Friends Match Menu!  From here, you can start a private match with up to 3 of your Plus+ friends at any time, whether your friends are currently playing Eliminate or not.  

The first thing to notice on this menu is your friends list on the left hand side of the screen.  This list displays any and all Plus+ users who are on your friends list (provided that you are on their friends list as well).  Under each of your friends' names is their status.  You can invite a user to a game (whether they are online or not) by tapping their name, and then tapping on the Invite button on the right side of the screen.

Each friend in your list has a colored light next to their game. This communicates their status (as follows)

• Green: Online
• Blue: Player has joined your party
• Yellow: You've sent an invitation and are waiting for a response
• Red: Offline

Online users will receive a pop-up invitation.  If they accept, they will be taken into your friend lobby.  Any offline user will receive a push notification on their iPhone or iPod touch.  If they accept the push invitation, they too will be taken straight to your friends lobby.  Any time a user enters your lobby, you will see an announcement at the top of the screen, and will also see their status change on your friends list.

Once people have joined your party, you can chat with them by pressing the chat button in the top-middle of the screen.  This will bring up a virtual keyboard.  Party members can all see each others' chat messages onscreen.

Once you have formed your party, you can enter a match at any time by pressing the Start Game button.  Please note that only the party leader can do this.  Other players in the party will be brought into the match as soon as the party leader presses the Start Game button.

Lastly, you can add friends to your friend list at any time by pressing the Add Friends button.  This will take you directly to the Plus+ friend search page, where you can search for people by their user name or their first/last names. When you add someone to your friends list in Eliminate, they will receive a notification the next time they load the app. You will need to be mutual friends before you can invite someone to a game.

Adding friends to your list will provide the following benefits:

• Live Friend Updates: While playing Eliminate, you will receive alerts when your friends log in and log out of the game
• Invitations: You can send and receive invitations to join private friend matches.
• Live Chat: You can chat with friends while waiting to join a private match.
• Compare Stats: You can compare rank, skill level and equipment with friends from the friend lobby

For a player to appear in your Friends List, you must either have them accept your friend request, or accept a friend request from that player.

Sending a Friend Request:

1. From the friend lobby, press the Add Friend button.
2. Now, you can either enter the name or gamername of a user in the search field, or press the Search Contacts button to search your contact list.
3. Tap any user name to send a friend request. Your friend will receive the request the next time they load the app.

Accepting a Friend Request: Your New Friend requests will be posted when you first load Eliminate.

The request will read: “You have new followers. Touch confirm to make them friends.”

By touching confirm, you will accept any outstanding friend requests.

That’s it! You should now be able to invite your friend to a match!

1. Select a menu to practice on!
2. Drag your finger left/right to see the different maps you can choose from.
3. Tap on a map to select it.

Eliminate other player combatants in the World or Friend arenas to earn Credits.

At the end of each match, players are awarded Credits for their performance in the arena. The player with the most kills will earn the most Credits. The remaining Credits will be awarded to the other players in amounts corresponding to their placement. So the person with the least kills will earn the least Credits, and so on.

Bonus Credits are ejected from fallen combatants when they are Eliminated during combat. These Bonus Credits are purely additive and will not be subtracted from the victim’s earnings. Anyone can pick up Bonus Credits if they remain unclaimed in the arena.

Additionally, taunting fallen combatants will earn additional Credits. Shake your device over a fallen combatant to taunt the victim for Credits.

NOTICE: Earning Credits requires energy. Be sure to have energy before entering the arena. If you enter an arena without energy, you will not earn any Credits. Energy can be replenished by tapping your energy bar.

Learn about buying Energy

Power-ups are concentrations of programmable energy that, when applied to gear, bestow specific combat benefits for a short duration of time. Arsenal researchers test various battlefield Power-up technologies inside Eliminate arenas. Simply come into contact with any Power-up and it will synthesize into your gear. Power-up effects are granted immediately upon contact.

A Power-up status bar will appear on your HUD showing how much time is remaining before the Power-up effects expire.

You can only be under the influence of one Power-up at a time. The most recent Power-up to synthesize with your gear will be active and cancel the affects of any prior performance enhancers.

The following Powerups are currently in arena testing:

Damage Amplifier

Weapon damage is increased significantly when using this Power-up.

Berserker Shield

Armor becomes invulnerable and will inflict lethal damage to other combatants who come into contact with you while this Power-up is in effect.

Cloaking Field

Your gear will become nearly invisible when this Power-up is used.

Health Recharge

Your health will replenish and exceed natural levels while under the influence of this Power-up.

Jet Pack

Fly in the direction you aim or jump to gain altitude quickly with this Power-up equipped.

Acceleration

Your movement speed over solid surfaces will increase while using this Power-up.
