Bombs īombs can be collected and used alongside your primary weapon, but there is only a limited amount. While the plasma missiles require aiming and do not do great area-of-effect damage like side missiles, they do much more direct damage to targets in front of the Viking. They cause your primary attack to become a powerful stream of plasma blasts directly in front of the Viking. Plasma Missiles are the alternative primary weapon to side missiles. A maximum of two drones can be active at a time. Additionally, if a player is hit by an enemy projectile, one of their drones will explode instead of the Viking, saving them a life. When the active weapon is fired, each drone will also fire a small heat seeking missile at a nearby enemy. When drones are collected, they do not overwrite the current weapon, but rather hover around the player's Viking. While each missile is relatively weak, they are excellent for doing area-of-effect damage to large numbers of enemies. Each powerup of side missiles adds an additional diagonal stream of projectiles to each side of the Viking. Side Missiles are one of the two primary projectile weapons. The available weapons, as well as the order of rotation, are as follows: Side Missiles While floating, the powerups periodically change to a different powerup, allowing the player to bide their time until the desired weapon appears. If a player is destroyed and loses a life, any active weapons they had are returned to floating powerups, where they must be collected again.

Each weapon has two levels, so if the same powerup is collected twice, it will become more powerful.

When collected, they give players different or stronger weapons with which to destroy their enemies. Throughout the game, various powerups will appear and float around the screen. Together with and the Blizzard Arcade, the Editor offers a robust game-development platform, hosting system, and multiplayer network. These are the very same tools Blizzard themselves used in the development of the latest version of StarCraft.
