Weapon limits and weapon pouches: Players can collect up to one non-starter weapon upon spawn, but must collect items called weapon pouches to make room for new non-starter weapons. Use to deny items from other players or move out-of-reach items toward you, creating a whole new dimension of gameplay that's well-suited for competitive Quake and feels right at home / non-gimmicky since it simply extends an existing game mechanic (knockback) and applies it to another existing element (items). Item Knockback: Items can now recieve knockback from splash damage weapons like players can. Provides an alternative means for the out-of-control player to regain control of the map apart from just controlling armors, while still punishing poor decision-making. Reinforces item control and places emphasis on weapon control over traditional health / armor control. Uberweapons (trademark mechanic): Upgraded versions of the standard Quake 3 arsenal, which can be obtained by obtaining 3 weapons of the same type.

Every mechanic has been carefully examined to consider their potential implications for the metagame - you can find various gameplay theories for most mechanics / items throughout this mod's provided documentation. There are no loadouts or special abilities - all players still start out equal and must fight tooth-and-nail to take control of the arena using a variety of different skills, just as they have before. There are no changes to the fundamental, core principles of Quake 3, but merely additions that aim to revitalize the arena shooter formula while maintaining the challenge and intensity that Quake is known for.
