About the game
Frag is about blowing stuff up. This expansion brings you new things to blow up, new weapons to blow them up with, and new places to do it. Arm yourself with the Assault Shotgun and the Shock Glove. Fight across two new maps, with lava and water terrain . . . either one can link to the gameboard from Frag Gold Edition for nearly ten square feet of arena! Blow up barrels and set off a chain reaction. Doors that open the Frag way . . . you have to shoot at the switch! And new scenarios, including the classic Last Man Standing. More weapons, more hazards, more targets. More . . . FTW!
