The Airfist
The legend returns! It’s back, the first passive Quake1 weapon that was invented ages ago! Blast players, items, and everything else, into the air. Lift your opponents up to the ceiling and watch them take a free flight! Use it to nudge them from edges or to push that BFG your enemy was about to grab, into the lava! Try the full defensive potential of this weapon by sending grenades (even proxies) back to their master. (A tip: try this baby on a rocket or a green BFG plasma bolt!) And, for the most reckless of you: point the Airfist at the floor and pull the trigger…now THIS is repulsion! (In combination with the Antigrav Belt this is a very good substitute for the Jet Pack!)

The Flash Grenade
Throw this thing into the sightline of your opponent and watch him stagger around firing blindly! ….’cause he can’t see you or anything else!
…That’s the reason why this is called a Flash Grenade!! Got it? Another good move is to throw it at the floor while running, as a little present for your pursuers. Great to escape!

The Poison Grenade
Maybe we’d better call them LSD-Grenades! When they explode they pump a huge amount of poison spray into the surrounding air. So don’t be near them when they detonate! The results can be fatal: the next fifteen seconds are like having drunk a bottle of green tequila through a straw!

The Grenade Launcher
I just want to mention that all the grenade types shown above, are also compatible with the standard grenade launcher. This is a little hint for all those Quakers who are wondering how they can get THIS damn grenade over THAT damn abyss to THOSE other damn Quakers over there!?!
Command for weapon class:

Predefined key: “6”

The Laser Mines
Pop it onto a wall, the floor, the ceiling, or anything else. One second later a deadly laser emits out of the mine straight through the room ”til it stops on another wall or door. If you prepare a room with them, you will see one opponent marching in, and two half opponents coming out! So don’t, Don’t, DON’T walk across the lasers! Ok? Tip: Set them up pointing onto a closed door. That’s a rude and nasty surprise for anyone who comes in! 😉 Hint: Due to the fact that they don’t fit in any grenade launcher they can only be placed by hand!
BTW: Laser mines cannot be placed on spawn-points. Also they explode after the first “victim-touch”…so “laser-cheaters” who insist on running around the level and placing a laser on every spawn-point, can’t use that trick to get any “free frags” anymore! 🙂
Command for weapon class:

The Living Proximity Mine Launcher
NO, these guys aren’t the proxy mines everyone knows! Leave them somewhere you know your enemies will hang around! If the mines ‘see’ an opponent they won’t just explode, they’ll CHASE ’em and explode if they’re near enough. If the player hauls ass and runs immediately, he might be able to escape these devilish smileys. But don’t forget where you dropped them. They USUALLY won’t hunt their master…but get too close and they might “accidentally” blow up!
A special: You can switch your proxies on and of by hitting the ‘P’ or typing “togglegrenades” on the console. Try to prepare a room with a whole bunch of them in ‘deactivated’ mode and activate them after you watch someone run into your trap! (Very funny to hear 10 “YIPPEEEE’s” in combination with one scream of surprise and panic. Another tip: They now also try to kill enemy turrets! Very nice, if that damn enemy base is guarded by two turrets and you only have your blaster left….and some proxies!! 🙂 Yeah… let ’em have it!!
NEW: Beware!…the Proxies are now SO dangerous that they sometimes short-circuit! They’re in general, little psychos at heart, and not all that tame OR loyal! You already know they blow up if you get too close, buuuttt… it seems SOME of them have nastier tempers and are PISSED OFF at the whole idea of being made to serve you. They would much rather hunt YOU once you free them!!! “Go get ’em boys!!.. no.. NO!.. go THAT way! Get away from me!! OH SH*T!!” 🙂
