ARENA CARRIABLES
Type	Arena object
Damage	50

Carriables are objects in the arena that can be picked up and carried by contestants. They can be thrown and may have special effects.

Overview

When a contestant picks up an arena carriable, it will float weightlessly in front of them, allowing them to carry the object around the arena for any duration. The object can also be thrown forwards.

The velocity of the throw increases with each weight class, with the Heavy throwing carriables the furthest, although the difference is small.

Thrown carriables (apart from the Powder Canister and Goo Barrel) will always deal 50 contact damage to enemy contestants. Depending on the type of object, it may also be destroyed or activated upon impact.

Sticky gadgets can be attached to each type of carriable object (although there are few carriables that have enough surface area to support the Guardian Turret and APS Turret). Gadgets add weight to carriable objects, causing them to fly with a lower velocity when thrown. Additonally, sticky gadgets that need to be triggered in some way to activate (such as mines and C4) will be disarmed if a carriable object it is placed on is picked up. This removes the possibility of creating a "nuke" or "snuke" with the explosive canister which was very popular during season 1.

Usage

Contestants can pick up arena carriables from the ground by looking at them so that they are highlighted, and pressing the dedicated pick up key.

After carrying the object around, the contestant can either let go of the object or throw it, causing it to fly forwards in an arc.

Types of Carriable

Barrels

Barrels spawn at random locations throughout the arena, at a random density and distribution. It is possible for no barrels to be present in a round. Barrels are utility items that can be thrown, which will activate the barrel to trigger its effects.

Image	Type	Effect
	Explosive Canister	Flies straight forward instead of in an arc. After a few moments, creates a destructive explosion.
	Gas Canister	Upon impact, starts leaking gas. After a while, implodes into a temporary gas cloud.
	Powder Canister	Upon impact, creates a temporary smoke cloud to obscure vision.
	Glitch Barrel	Upon impact, creates the glitch effect to disable gadgets.
	Goo Barrel	Upon impact, creates a Goo wall, acting like a stronger Goo Grenade.
	Oil Barrel	Upon impact, catches on fire. After a while, creates a destructive explosion that also spreads Fire.

Decor

Decor spawns at fixed locations in each arena. This includes objects such as chairs, small tables, and potted plants. They can be picked up and thrown to deal contact damage, but will always break upon impact. Decor that can be picked up is never bigger than a Heavy contestant. If a decor object can be picked up, it will show a blue outline when hovered over.

Cash Box

Trivia

• In Closed Beta 2, the amount of contestants eliminated using a flower pot was tracked, totaling 392 (see Infographic for Closed Beta 2).
• In Closed Beta 1, a movement mechanic called 'prop surfing' was discovered. When dropping an object directly below a contestants feet while they were moving, they could temporarily stand on the object and be quickly launched forward. This was later patched out.
• The mechanic for picking up arena carriables was at one point referred to as the 'gravity glove' in the CB1 Patch 0.4 notes, though this term was never used again despite several mentions of arena carriables.
