Best weapons, power positions, and loadouts for Arena.

Arena Overview

Arena is the default map — a mirrored, symmetric duel zone with no special gimmicks like explosion barrels or breakable windows. Both spawns are identical and lined up exactly opposite each other, so every fight is fair and comes down to raw gunplay. Ramps on both sides open up the high ground, and most players use them to hold angles and set up flanks.

Arena FAQ

What is the best weapon on Arena?

The Shotgun — Arena is a close-to-mid range map and the Shotgun's 80 point-blank damage wins the ramp duels. Pair it with an Assault Rifle for the longer center sightlines.

How do you win on Arena?

Control the side ramps first — the high ground wins most fights. Then hold the top of a ramp and force enemies to push into your Shotgun range instead of crossing the open center.
