Weapons

Weapons in Rocket Rumble

Weapons are a vital and limited resource in Rocket Rumble, ensuring that demand always exceeds supply. Designed to be scarce and highly valuable, obtaining top-tier weapons is a long-term goal that fuels progression. Similar to Rocket Rumble's fighters, weapons come in 8 different tiers, each impacting gameplay in unique ways.

Why Weapons Matter:

1. Half of a Fighter’s Power

   • Weapons contribute 50% of a fighter’s strength, making them a crucial factor in battles.

   • Each original Rocket Rumble fighter comes equipped with a default weapon, scaling in power based on rarity and tier.

2. Melee vs. Ranged Combat

   • Melee Weapons: Close-quarters combat with higher damage output.

   • Ranged Weapons: Longer reach, allowing for strategic attacks from a distance.

3. Customization & Upgrades

   • Players can swap or upgrade their weapons using swappable weapon NFTs.

   • With an expected 100K daily active players in the future (spanning Genesis Fighters, 2nd Gen Fighters, partner collection fighters, and free-to-play users), demand for new weapons will remain high.

Weapon Uses in Rocket Rumble

1. Forging Stronger Weapons

Weapons act as crafting materials for forging higher-tier weapons:

Combine multiple weapons + ROCKETCOIN (burned) → Upgrade to the next weapon tier

2. Training Next-Gen Fighters

Weapons are essential in the creation of 2nd Generation Fighters:

1 Fighter + multiple weapons (burned) + ROCKETCOIN (burned) → 2nd Generation Fighter
