Smash Karts Weapons

A key collectible in Smash Karts is weapons. You will get these by driving into Loot Boxes scattered around the arena. You can only have one weapon at a time, and you can't replace your current weapon until it's been used. There are three types of weapons:

Offensive: These weapons are projectiles that can be launched from a distance
Defensive: These weapons generate a force that protects your kart while damaging others
Traps: These are weapons that can be strategically placed around the arena for other karts to drive into
