Each craft had a shield energy quota, and when this quota reached zero-either from damage sustained from weapon attacks, or impact from other craft or the edges of the circuit-the craft would blow up. In order to help them achieve this end, weapons were provided (see below).Īside from the usual tactical aspects of racing, Wipeout 2097, (unlike its predecessor) offered the chance to eliminate competition (or at least subdue them temporarily) by the use of weapons. opponents, in order to finish in the highest position possible.
