Paintball Arena¶
The Paintball Arena is a special dedicated zone where players can face each other in fast-paced, secure matches, providing a perfect environment to train reflexes and precision without the risk of losing personal inventory items or weapons.

- Press the F key to open up the arena dashboard interface (Open Paintball).
Main Interface¶
Once inside the dashboard terminal view (image #2), you can navigate across pages using the left category navigation deck:
