Arsenal Strategy
Pick an arsenal that is useful. Don't get any useless weapons. Defensive weapons are usually
not very good either (like dirtball, greenball and fan, which don't hurt). Weapons that don't
do much damage shouldn't be taking up valuable slots in your arsenal either (like dart).
Consider the map before you start, that is, what weapons might be good on the map. If there
is lots of dirt, a laser might be called for, or if it's all tight passageways, you might not
want to include larpa, or mines (since you can't really jump them yourself).
If you are playing with Load+Change off,
I recommend choosing a mix of different types of
weapons, including guns, projectiles, and maybe even some traps (mines, bouncy mines,
float mines, or booby traps). My normal arsenal for instance is something like this:
Doomsday, Larpa, Gauss Gun, Chaingun, and laser (if the map has a lot of dirt).
I find the guns the most useful.
When playing with Load+Change on, play with fast firing weapons and your most favorites,
even doubled so you can whip out a second quickly if you have to. For instance, my usuall
arsenal is two gauss guns, two larpa, and spikeballs.
When you have a great arsenal, and you want to keep, do not pick up those weapon
powerups. They replace your current weapon, if you didn't know. Also, sometimes they
blow up. I almost never pick them up, especially when Names on Bonuses is turned off.
