Mars Base

The Mars Base is one of the eight playable arenas in the PC and Xbox versions of Robot Wars: Extreme Destruction. It features four CPZ's, housing Sergeant Bash, Sir Killalot, Matilda and Shunt respectively. This is the final arena to be unlocked in the game, as it is unlocked along with Stage 8 of "Competition" mode.

Appearance and Hazards

The arena is based on a Space Station on Mars, this is evident as the surface of Mars is visible on the outside of the arena, and there are various arena hazards that imply the arena is a space station, such as an airlock (which can either open on the inside only or open both on the inside and outside, the latter resulting in robots being sucked out of it and out of the arena), a waste disposal (acting as a pit, which is activated by driving over it), and an anti-gravity switch (which once pressed by a robot results in robots floating into the air, into the arena's roof, before eventually wearing off, resulting in the robots falling back down to the arena floor). There is also a large hemi-sphere situated near the arena corner, which propells a robot far away if it runs into it.

The arena is also littered with large crates, which can be easily shoved aside by a robot. The house robots' CPZ's are completely enclosed, and only open at certain times, such as when a competitor robot is coming near. This is the only arena in the game with no proper entry gates, instead, for an Endurance battle, the robots are "beamed in" in the centre of the arena.

Glitches

  • When anti-gravity is in place, a glitch can force players to suddenly disappear through the roof itself, which technically keeps the player in the battle, but the player can't move and the camera merely pans away from the arena and shows the exterior of the mars base.
