DSL comes with 21 new arenas (not including the Practice Arena and Event Results) with features never before seen in RA2. Elevators, rovers, pendulums, bullies, and more make this pack one of the best ways of bringing new life to an ever aging game. It is also worth noting that most of the arenas were designed and built by Lu-Tze for DSL 1 but they are still capable of standing up to modern standards.

List of DSL Arenas

These arenas are separated into four categories - standard combat arenas, tabletop arenas, mini-game 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 generally be found in either the Deathmatch, Battle Royal, Team Match, or Just For Fun (aka Obstacle Course) modes.

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 any soul willing to venture outside the arena's boundaries will undoubtedly regret it. Although some of these arenas are not found in the Tabletop mode, they are still considered tabletops.

Mini-Game Arenas

These arenas present the bots with a different challenge than mere combat.

Specialized Arenas
