The stock version of the game is packaged with 12 arenas (not including the practice arena or event results arena).

List of Stock Arenas

These arenas are separated into four categories - standard combat arenas, tabletop arenas, king of the hill arenas, and specialized arenas.

Standard Combat Arenas

Standard combat arenas are the most basic type of arena. These arenas are designed to accommodate robot combat and can be run in either the Deathmatch, Battle Royal, or Team Match modes.

Combat Arena File:Box preview.png "The Combat Arena is a traditional square arena surrounded by high-impact polycarbonate glazing. Hazards include spikes and sawblades that rise from below the floor."
Bridge of Doom File:Bridge preview.png "Travel across the bridge to reach your opponent, but watch out for the flame hazards in the corners of the arena."
Compressor Arena File:Dm compressor preview.png "Be cautious of the side areas. Getting caught in there could be a tight squeeze!"
Electric Arena File:Dm electric preview.png "You may want to watch out for the metal grid in the center of the arena. Getting caught there at the wrong time could be a shocking experience."
Half Circle Arena File:Dm half circle preview.png "Watch out for the massive hammer! It will crush your bot like a little tin can."
The Octagon File:Oct preview.png "You'll find hammers and hellraisers in this recessed arena. The starting blocks also slide away, revealing deathpits."
Parking Lot File:Parkinglot preview.png "This unofficial downtown arena draws great competition from locals and visitors. Home-made hazards include platforms of cinder blocks that are dumped on the robots."
Metal Skull File:Dm skull preview.png "Originally a set for a horror movie about metallic skeletons, you'll find a giant metal skull laughing at your bot as it falls into the deathpit or is hit by the spike hazards."


Tabletop Arenas

Tabletop matches are identical to Battle Royal matches with regards to rules. The big twist, however, is that these arenas have no walls and are surrounded by a pit which the robots must not fall into.

ClawTop File:Clawtop preview.png "Made especially for tabletop matches, the ClawTop Arena features several flame hazards and a pair of rotating claws that will force your bot over the edge if you get too close."
FlexTop File:Tts preview.png "Not for the faint of heart, this arena has giant springs causing the table top to flex in all directions."


King of the Hill Arenas

These arenas are designed for the King of the Hill gamemode. Each arena has an elevated platform in its center which the robots must fight for control of.

LumaZone File:King preview.png "In the LumaZone King of the Hill arena, the central point zone is surrounded by sharp teeth-like hazards."


Specialized Arenas

These arenas are characterized by the fact that they can only contain one robot at a time. These arenas are not designed for competition, and are used only in specialized instances in the game. As such, they are not accessible in the same ways other arenas are and they do not have real preview pictures. They do, however, have features that are neither seen nor accessible within other arenas.
