List of powerups in Ikari Warriors

Items

Items are collectible powers that you can use to improve your character general condition.

Health boost

Quote from Health boost:

Coming close enough to a health boost will restore your character health instantly. Note however that the item can't be picked if your health is higher than 90%. This condition slightly encourages fair play while in a cooperative game mode.

Locations: Garages, terrain, dead infantry units
Conditions: Health is lower than 90%, not in archon form or vehicle

Grenades

Quote from Grenades:

Picking up a grenade will add it to your current amount of grenades available. You can throw them later with your mouse, or simply use the matching button from your command panel when not in fullscreen mode.

Locations: Garages, terrain, dead infantry units
Conditions: Grenades count lower than 10, not in archon form or vehicle

Extra life

Quote from Extra life:

Extra lives are rare but very valuable items. Each extra life you find allows you to sustain one additional death, thus teleporting you back to the last checkpoint you reached in the current level.

Locations: Terrain, destroyed buildings
Conditions: Not in vehicle

Random vehicle

Quote from Random vehicle:

Picking up this item will land a friendly drop pod next to your current location, delivering a random vehicle that you can drive. This item is rare and very useful in most situations.

Locations: Garages, destroyed vehicles
Conditions: Not in archon form or vehicle

Weapons

These items basically switches your weapon with another.

Default weapon

Quote from Default weapon:

Also known as Photon Bullets, the default weapon is a fast shooting cannon throwing photon bullets forward. While not particularly strong, it compensates this weakness with a good rate of fire which will prove useful in any kind of situation.

Locations: Dead infantry units
Conditions: Not using default weapon, not in archon form or vehicle

Triple shot

Quote from Triple shot:

The triple shot is an evolution of the default weapon, shooting 3 photon bullets at a time and covering a much wider area. Its fire rate is slightly slower, making it less effective against a single strong enemy. Optimal targets for this weapon would rather be large, and/or scattered groups.

Locations: Garages, dead infantry units
Conditions: Not using triple shot, not in archon form or vehicle

Homing shot

Quote from Homing shot:

The homing shot is an evolution of the default weapon, shooting 3 photon bullets that will eventually rush at the same target. Its fire rate is much slower though, making it barely useful against large groups of enemies. Optimal targets for this weapon would rather be single strong units or compact groups.

Locations: Garages, dead infantry units
Conditions: Not using homing shot, not in archon form or vehicle

Archon form

Quote from Archon form:

The archon form is a rare but very valuable evolution of your character that will grant him massive destruction powers. In this form the shields are greatly improved, and you'll carry a weapon that does 3 times more damage despite a shorter range. Every hit does splash damage, making this powerup very effective against any kind of target. You can leave this form (and any other vehicle) by pressing the matching key on your keyboard.

Locations: Garages, destroyed vehicles
Conditions: Not in archon form or vehicle

Vehicle crush

Quote from Vehicle crush:

Vehicle crush is the ability of heavy vehicles to squash their enemies. It is not a item that can be collected but you will be able to remove heavy infantry resistance in a few seconds thanks to this. Beware though, any enemy vehicle heavy enough will also be able to eliminate you instantly if you dare staying on their way!

Locations: Army tank, Short Fang Naga, Water Dragon, Assault Mammoth
Conditions: Not in archon form
