 ## 6. And now for defensive weapons:
 
 * **White Flag** - causes the surrender of the player (can sometimes be useful in a hopeless situation). The advantage is that by surrendering you don't give a big point to your opponents and don't cause one of them to gain by killing us, you also limit the loss of your energy and also cash. An important note - this is the only defensive weapon that can be deactivated. All you have to do is re-enter inventory and once again select its activation.
+
 * **Battery** - when activated, it recharges the tank's energy to full (99 units). It is one of three defensive weapons that does not deactivate other defensive weapons when used.
-* **Hovercraft** - a weapon that allows the tank to move. It has its own fuel supply in form of electric eels and in addition, it can be activated multiple times during the same turn, and after using it, you can activate another defensive weapon and fire a shot in the same turn. After using it, the tank rises above the mountains and using the cursor keys or a joystick you can move the tank to a new position. [SPACE] or the joystick button cause the tank to land in a new place. You can fly until the tank runs out of eels (presented on the status bar like the energy of a defensive weapon), if the eel fuel runs out the tank will fall down on its own. It is not possible to land on other tanks.

+
 * **Parachute** - does not protect against loss of energy due to a neighboring explosion, makes you not lose energy during ONE fall. After such a fall, it deactivates and a new parachute must be activated.
+
 * **Shield** - the simplest shield works exactly the opposite of **Parachute**, it does not protect against energy loss while falling, instead it protects against energy loss caused by ONE adjacent explosion. It protects once, no matter how strong the explosion is (whether tis but a scratch or a direct hit with a nuke), and deactivates immediately afterward.
+
 * **Heavy Shield** - a shield with its own energy (at the start of 99 units), it works the same as **Shield** (does not protect against falling) with the exception that it has its own energy resource. When exploding, the energy of this shield is reduced first, and if it reaches 0, the shield deactivates and further reduces the tank's energy. Due to this action, a tank with this type of shield can be "killed" by undermining it, because falling reduces the energy of the tank and not the shield.
+
 * **Force Shield** - the strongest shield - works just like Heavy Shield only that it is combined with **Parachute**. What is important in this case, falling does not take energy away from the shield or the tank. It is only taken away by hits.
-* **Bouncy Castle** - a passive-aggressive weapon :). It works as follows - in a case of a direct tank hit (and shield), it causes the projectile to "bounce" in the opposite direction with the same force with which it was fired. In the absence of wind and a difference in level, the weapon then hits the tank that fired it. After such a bounce, it deactivates. As the weapon reacts in this way only to precise hits, it is also works like **Heavy Shield** and has 99 units at the start (we will probably have to rethink this value and give a smaller one here).
-* **Mag Deflector** - the second passive-aggressive weapon :) . In case of a direct hit on a tank (and shield), it causes the hit point to move randomly to the left or right side of the protected tank, but not very far, so you can get "shrapnel" with stronger weapons. As in the case of **Bouncy Castle**, it is also a shield that corresponds to the action of **Heavy Shield** and has 99 units at the start (probably here we will have also to rethink this value and give a smaller one).

+
 * **Nuclear Winter** - adds nothing, takes nothing away :) - in fact, it is not so much a defensive weapon as a double-edged one. It floods the area with "radioactive" fallout, which is ordinary soil. If you do not have at hand any weapon that digs up the terrain, and for that a shield (preferably disposable), then after such "fallout" you will have to shoot yourself - because being underground is otherwise impossible. Alternatively, **White Flag** always remains.
+
 * **Long Schlong** - a special weapon :) - Costs a lot, doesn't really help with anything (except possibly digging yourself out but only when slightly buried but it has a cool name and looks cool :) - It can be activated independently of other defensive weapons and remains active until the end of the round (it cannot be deactivated).
+
 * **Lazy Boy** - it is not actually a defensive weapon. It is an aiming aid. When it is activated, the tank tries to aim at the nearest enemy and automatically adjusts the power of the shot and angle. If it has too little energy, it can sometimes aim wrong (it uses a method like **Cyborg** to aim). Like **Battery**, it does not deactivate other defensive weapons when used. Note: There is no point in activating this weapon before the round, targeting will not take place because there is nothing to target yet.
+
 * **Lazy Darwin** - works just like **Lazy Boy** but targets the weakest opponent. In this weapon, after automatic targeting, "visual targeting" remains active, so you can easily change the target and independently select another opponent by seeing if you hit him.
+
 * **Auto Defense** - activates the mode of automatic activation of defensive weapons. After its activation, the tank automatically activates the strongest shield it has (consuming it, of course) at any time when there is no shield (also between shots of other players). At the same time, if the tank's energy level drops below 30 units, it automatically activates **Battery** if it has it. This weapon remains active until the end of the round and is indicated by the "computer" symbol before the name of the active defensive weapon in the status line. It is the second defensive weapon that does not deactivate other defensive weapons when used.
+
 * **Spy Hard** - Help for the forgetful :) . When activated, it shows a preview of information about the next opponents one by one. Left/Right - changes the "spied" tank. Fire/Space/Return/Esc - ends the "spying". This is the last defensive weapon, which does not deactivate other defensive weapons when used.
 
 Due to the different warhead tracking system of **MIRV** weapons, the **Bouncy Castle** and **Mag Deflector** defensive weapons only use the shielding function when hit by these weapons. In addition, **MIRV** warheads do not bounce or fly through sidewalls when falling!

 ## 7. "Other" weapons:
 
 * **Best F...g Gifts** - this is a 'loot box', not a weapon per se. Buying it draws one of the offensive or (rarely) defensive weapons and adds it to the player's arsenal. It is a lottery in which you can lose (if you draw a weapon cheaper than the **Best F...g Gifts** price) but also gain. You can get a weapon otherwise not affordable at all!

 First, one of the weapons is drawn (among all possible offensive or defensive weapons). Then a check is performed to see if the drawn weapon is in the list of weapons possible for purchase by the tank. If not, no weapon is bought in this trial, and if so, its price is checked. If the tank has that much money, the weapon is bought, otherwise the trial ends without making a purchase.
