Quick notes
- Match barriers to a weapon. Colored weapon locks teach the value of revisiting older rooms.
- Reserve specialist ammunition. The six additional weapons use the Universal Ammo supply.
- Distinguish Samus from hunter affinity. In multiplayer, a hunter’s associated weapon has a special benefit.
- Test bounce and range before a duel. Judicator, Imperialist and Shock Coil ask for very different distances.
