Arsenal on Roblox: one kill, one new gun
Arsenal is a fast first-person shooter on Roblox made by ROLVe and released in 2015. Its main rule comes from the classic gun game format. Every kill swaps your weapon for the next one on the list, and the first player to finish the list wins the match.
How the weapon swap works
Everyone starts with the same first weapon. Get a kill and your gun changes to the next one in the rotation. The list mixes everything: pistols, shotguns, rifles, snipers and odd weapons. You cannot stay with the gun you like, so you have to be good with all of them.
The last two steps are golden weapons. The final one is the golden knife, and you need to land the finishing kill with it yourself. Damage that a teammate finishes does not count. The knife also gives you a double jump, which helps you close the distance.
Arsenal has other modes too, and a big cosmetic side with skins, announcers and kill effects. Matches are short, which is why people play many in a row.
Tips for climbing the list
- Learn the awkward guns. The weapon you are worst with is where you lose the most time.
- Stay near the middle. More players pass through the center of the map, so kills come faster.
- Save movement for the knife. Sliding and the double jump matter most when you only have a melee weapon.
