The aim of the skill levels system is protect our newer players from the very good players and to reward players by recognizing their skill. This is how it works:

Level 1
L4's need to zap you 2 times, and L5's & L6's need to zap you 3 times to deactivate you.

Level 2
Same as level 1.

Level 3
L6's need to zap you 2 times to deactivate you.

Level 4
You need to zap L1 & L2's 2 times to deactivate them.

Level 5
You need to zap L1 & L2's 3 times to deactivate them.

Level 6
You need to zap L1 & L2's 3 times and L3's 2 times to deactivate them.

Special Abilities by Level

Level 1: Rapid Fire
Rapid fire is achieved by zapping two people in a row. You remain on rapid fire until you are hit. It gets harder to activate rapid fire after that because the number of people you need to zap increases.

Level 2: Invulnerabilty
If you zap 5 people in a row you become invulnerable! During this time no-one can deactivate you, but they still score points for tagging you. You are invulnerable for 10 seconds.

Level 3: Payback
Payback allows you to come straight back up again after you get hit. Simply keep your special button pressed for 2 seconds when you get zapped and you come alive again!

Level 4: Missiles
Missiles give you many more points (500). Stay locked onto a player until you hear the 3^rd high pitched beep and let off a missile. You can only use missiles on level 4's or higher.

Level 5: Reset
Reset allows you to zap a player who is down even if you were the last person to hit them. When you are up hold your special button down for 2 seconds. Good for shooting missiles at a player.

Level 6: Nuke
Nukes deactivate every other level 6 in the arena no matter where they are. When you are up hold the special button in for 2 seconds to activate it. You must then remain up for another 3 seconds until the Nuke detonates.

Special abilities reward players as the climb up the skill levels. As you are promoted into a new skill level an additional ability becomes available.
