1.0 Introduction
1.1 The Game:
Axis is a mech-based first-person-shooter, developed by
Jamie, a korean software developer. The Demo has been around
for quite some time now, and there are rumours about a planned
US release by real.com.
As the original korean manual is very detailed, covering
nearly every aspect of the game, and cannot possibly be
properly reproduced in a similar quality for a real.com
distribution, I decided to write this FAQ to cover the most
important aspects of the game, as well as to comment on the
weapons and parts used in building the ARMs (mecha).
I know that an english version of the manual exists as a
.doc-File (my compliments to Micheal "Junkyard Dawg" Ferguson
for a job well done), but it is 28 megabytes in size and as
such, unsuitable for an online distribution.
1.2 Getting the Game:
Hard to do. The game has been distributed in Japan and Korea
only, making it extremely difficult to get. Jamie has been
known to send packages to foreign customers, but be prepared
for exorbitant shipping costs.
There are rumours about a US-distribution via real.com as
well as a european release via an yet undecided distributor.
There also is a company called 'AsiaSoft', seated in the US,
who specializes in far-east software. The risk of loss when
ordering it from them is lowest, but they are pricey.
Please do not mail me for CD-Images, Warez versions or
similar illegal stuff. I won't answer such questions, but I
will report you to your ISP instead. You have been warned.
1.3 Websites:
http://www.axisarena.net - The official website of Axis
http://www.jamie.co.kr - Jamie Systems' official website
http://the-junkyard.net - The largest english-speaking Fansite
Several other fansites exist, but most often, they are written
in either japanese or korean.
2.0 Explanations
2.1 Head Parts:
Detection Range:
Range at which the enemy can be detected/locked-on.
Detection Angle:
This number indicates the size of the lock-on circle that
appears while using guided weapons.
Hacking Level:
Basically, electronic warfare; having a lower hacking level
than the enemy hampers with functions like lock-on, cloaking
and similar sensor-based issues.
Lock On Efficiency:
Affects the lock-on time of guided weapons. Higher levels
shorten the time required for a lock-on.
Target Keeping Time:
The amount of time a target remains locked after a successful
lock-on attempt, even when losing it.
Weight:
Weight in tons.
2.2 Chest Parts:
Weight Limit:
Maximum allowed weight of the ARM. Note that this value can be
exceeded, although it cripples the ARM's movement values.
Max Armor:
Amount of armor points the ARM has.
Max Shield:
Amount of shield points the ARM has.
2.3 Arm Parts:
Fire Control System:
Affects weapon accuracy and firing speed. The higher the level,
the more accurate the weapon's fire will be.
Capacity for 30mm:
The maximum amount of 30mm cells the arm can hold.
Capacity for 60mm:
The maximum amount of 60mm cells the arm can hold.
Capacity for E-Pak:
The maximum amount of E-Pak cells the arm can hold.
Capacity for Missile:
The maximum amount of missile cells the the arm can hold.
Weight:
Weight in tons.
2.4 Leg Parts:
Agility:
The relative agility of the ARM. A high number indicates the
ability to perform complex maneuvers.
Inertia:
The relative inertia of the ARM. A high number indicates
problems with changing directions/coming to a stop.
Speed Correction:
A modifier to the booster's basic speed value.
Forward Boost Speed Correction:
A modifier affecting the forward movement of the ARM with
engaged boosters. Basically, how fast you can boost forward.
Sideways Boost Speed Correction:
A modifier affecting the sideways movement of the ARM with
engaged boosters. How fast you can boost-strafe.
Backward Boost Speed Correction:
A modifier affecting the backward movement of the ARM with
engaged boosters. How fast you can boost Backward.
Weight:
Again, weight in tons.
2.5 Booster Parts:
Thrust Type:
The type of thruster. Most thrusters of the same type have
similar specifications.
Active Time:
The length of time the booster can be used before needing
to recharge.
Recharge Time:
The time needed to completely recharge the booster.
Delay For Recharge:
The time that passes before the recharge kicks in.
Normal Speed:
The basic speed of the ARM when the booster is NOT engaged.
Max Speed Fwd/Swd/Bwd:
Maximum speed in the noted direction with boosters engaged.
Weight:
Guess what...weight in tons.
2.6 Weapons:
Slot Type:
The location of the weapon, either shoulder-mounted or
handheld.
Bullet Type:
The type of ammunition needed to fire the weapon.
Bullet Consumption:
The amount of ammunition consumed while firing a single
projectile.
Fires At The Same Time:
The number of projectiles fired at one pull of the trigger.
Damage Type:
Either impact or energy. Impact weapons deplete the shields
first, then start lowering the armor. Energy weapons divide
their damage evenly between shields and armor.
Damage Point:
The amount of damage a single projectile inflicts.
Shooting Range:
The effective range of the gun in meters.
Bullet Speed:
The speed of the projectile. 0 m/s means that the attack
hits instantaneous.
Dispersion Angle:
The maximum angle which the projectiles can deviate from
their intended flightpath. A good Fire Control Level reduces
the inaccuracy.
Hit Range:
The 'width' of the projectile. Any object within this radius
is considered hit, taking the weapons damage.
Splash Damage Range:
The radius in which the weapon inflicts splash damage upon
impact.
Splash Border Damage:
The amount of damage taken by any target inside the splash
radius.
Firing Delay:
The amount of time between the firings of the weapon.
Guidance:
The quality of the weapons internal guidance system. High
numbers indicate good target tracking abilities, while a zero
means that the gun must be aimed manually.
Targeting Time:
The time needed for the weapon to lock-on to a target.
Weight
Again, weight in tons.

Speed:
Modifier on the ARM's speed values.
Defense:
Modifier on the Armor/Shield values of the ARM.
Scanning:
Modifier on the scanning range of the head parts.
Maximum Load:
Modifier on the maximum weight of the ARM.
3.0 Characters
All character data is taken from the Axis retail version 1.3.
Good with missiles and projectile weapons, but has reduced
speed. The added toughness makes more than up for that, though.
Stick to missiles and projectile weapons, and everything will
work out just fine.
Name: Duke
Corp: Nitro
Sex: Male
Age: 27
Bullet Level: -15%
Energy Level: +15%
Bomb Level: -15%
Melee Level: +5%
Mobility: +5%
Speed: +5%
Defense: -5%
Scanning: 0%
Maximum Load: +5%
The opposite of Taxman, Duke is fast and nimble, and good at
killing things with energy weapons. The added load capacity
should be invested into a bigger booster, as you can't
withstand a lot of damage. Keep moving, and you will prevail.
Sonien can dish out a lot of damage, but her ARMs handle very
sluggish; the defense penalty is also quite severe, making
her a difficult character to master. Guided weapons seem like
a good idea.
Similar to Duke. Your only valid choice of weapons are energy
guns, and your bad defense value makes sure you must keep
moving all teh time to have any success. Best suited for hit
and run tactics.
The last of the hit & runners. Like Duke and Luu, Janus relies
heavily on energy weapons and can, despite her high scanning
level, use missiles only with limited success. You might want
to try using homing energy weapons instead.
Name: Norman
Corp: Cintec
Sex: Male
Age: 29
Bullet Level: -5%
Energy Level: +15%
Bomb Level: -5%
Melee Level: -10%
Mobility: +10%
Speed: 0%
Defense: -5%
Scanning: -5%
Maximum Load: +5%
A character with odd values; his penalties on projectile guns
and missiles are not as severe as with the others, but he
lacks their speed. The higher maximum load is a nice bonus.
Morei is very similar to Duke, except that his specialty are
projectily weapons. He is also one of the few characters that
can inflict decent damage with missiles. The reduced scanning
range is a slight drawback, but easily compensated by his
superior speed and maneuverability.
The Brick. Petrovich can lug around incredible amounts of
equipment, and the 20% bonus on both shields and armor makes
sure he'll get a chance to use it. Hard to use properly,
though, and definitely no choice for beginners.

6.1 Game Modes
Death Match:
Basic All-out combat to the death. All weapons and ammo types
are allowed. Can also be played in Teams.
Sudden Death:
Like deathmatch, but all players have only 10 points of armor,
no shields, and are equipped with a SR-7 Sniper Rifle with 10
rounds of ammo. All pick-ups are replaced with single 30mm
bullets. Can also be played in teams.
Shotgun Arena:
All guns are replaced with SG-1 Shotguns; all ammo pick-ups
are replaced with 60mm ammunition cells. Armor is fixed at 150
for all participants, while shield strenght starts out with 0.
Both armor and shield pickups are available. Ammunition
capacity is also fixed at 100 60mm cells. Can also be played
in teams.
Ioncannon Arena:
Similar to Shotgun Arena, but the weapons are replaced with
the ICA-6000 Ion Cannon and the ammo pick-ups with E-Paks.
Armor is fixed at 150. There are only armor pickups available,
and ammo is limited to 100 E-cells per player. Can be played
in teams, too.
Rocket Arena:
All guns are replaced with AFH-70 Hand Cannons. All ammunition
is replaced with packs of 5 rocket cells, and the inertia of
all ARMs is doubled. Both armor and shield pickups are
available, armor is fixed at 150, and ammunition is again
limited to 100 cells. Can also be played as team-based version.
Gladiator:
The participants weapons are replaced with a MH-100 Motor Hammer
and a PC-C5 Plasma Blade, resulting in heated melee combat.
Armor is again fixed at 150, but shield pickups are available.
Can also be played as team-based event.
King of the Hill:
The first player to enter the Arena is the 'King', and receives
unlimited Overed Boost and Damage Booster. Whoever manages to
accumulate more frags than the King times becomes the new King
and the game starts over. Only the King can be damaged by, or
damage, the players. Killing the King is worth 5 frags. All
weapons and equipment are available.
Platoon:
Like Team Deathmatch, but only killing the Team Leader will
yield points. The frags gained by killing the leader are
equivalent to the number of players on his team. Again, there
are no limits on guns and equipment used.
6.2 Levels
6.2.1 Original Levels:
Valhalla - Orbital Battle Pit
A network of corridors leading into a central hall; many
transparent walls enable the combatants to see each other
from great distances without being able to shoot each
other.
Catacomb - Underground Depot
Maze-like map consisting of 2 levels connected by a central
shaft. The cramped corridors result in many close-range
skirmishes.
Midgard - Hyperspace Transport ATA 742
A transport ship during hyperspace transfer; the ship can
be entered through several entrances resulting in
close-quarter battles, but most combat tends to occur on
the outside.
Jotunheim - Palace of Giants
A two-level central hall with a nice-looking glass dome
roof; several cooridors branch out, some leading into
smaller halls while others are just dead-ends.
Bootcamp - Combat Training Stage
Large Halls, connected by narrow horizontal and vertical
hallways. Most of the arena is shrouded in darkness, so
locating the enemy can pose a problem.
Centropolis - Orbital Elevator Upper Layer
A giant space station orbiting earth. The impressive
superstructure contains many pick-ups, and the station
can be entered, revealing spacy hangar bays and a large
central pit area.
Titan Forge - Arm Factory
One of the most beautiful levels in the game. I giant
factory area with numerous towers and many open spaces.
Long-range weaponry is a must here.
Blood Bath - Battle Stage
A giant hall with stalagmite/stalagtite like structures;
despite the huge size of the hall, most combat is conducted
at short ranges.
Gigantic Core - Gigantium Fusion Generator
Two huge central generator halls with moving structures
inside connected by narrow hallways. There are several good
sniping positions located here.
Mystic Hive - Infected Netsphere Sector
A creepy level, resembling a Giger-painting. Huge halls
filled with organic-looking objects connected by wide,
organic looking hallways. Long-range weaponry is a must.
Asgard - Orbital Battle Pit
Similar in design to Valhalla, but without the huge
central dome. Instead, the corridors connect several
smaller, darkened halls.
Abyss - Ressource Extraction Base
A rather huge mining complex set in a mountainous area.
Several open areas that are connected by winding canyons.
Metropolis 3049 - Battle in the City
A rather large area filled with scyscrapers and floating
platforms. There are several eastereggs located here,
most notably pictures of the programmers and several
rather interesting signs.
Star Field - Asteroid Massdriver Ruins
One of the largest Levels in the game. A huge asteroid belt
filled with floating debris, most of which can be entered.
A small underground complex exists in the largest of the
asteroids, where the massdriver was located. Again, long
range weaponry is a must, as well as good boosters.
The Netsphere - Core System Kernel
A virtual-reality arena; basically, just a huge cylinder
with a central column running through it and a ring running
along the middle. This is where you face Siren, and
unfortunately, you can neither run nor hide in this level.
Musfelheim - Science Facility
Very similar to the Catacomb level, a network of smaller
halls and wide corridors.
Illusion city - Netsphere Database Sector
Another virtual reality level, consisting of several towers.
Due to the illusional nature of the level, it is hard to
tell walls from doorways.
Green Field - ARM Examination Battlefield
A huge open area filled with rolling hills and towerlike
structures. Perfect for long-range combat and chases.
Judgement Chamber - Netsphere Sector 9218
Another virtual reality level, but this one looks far more
solid. A cross-shaped hall with several catwalks and an
impressive-looking statue in the middle. The theme seems
to be "heaven and hell".
Pyromid - the Colosseum.
A circular-shaped arena with several moving walls revolving
around the middle. Due to the nature of the level, combat is
usually short-ranged
Garuda - Flying Fortress AFB 205
A huge circular-shaped flying structure with several large
entry-hatches. Extremely spacious hallways allow for
long-range combat inside as well as outside.
ATA-740 Longinus - Assault Carrier
A level very similar to Midgard. Again, the ship can be
entered through the numerous hatches, while most combat
occurs on the outside.
CUBE, Tubbyland, and Headquarter
Those are hidden maps; look under section 7.0, Hidden

Cube is a level consisting of several connected cubes which
only differ in color (If you've seen the film, you will
know what I mean...)
Tubbyland is exactly that: your worst nightmare come true.
The guys at Jamie rebuilt the tubby hill and added a few
easter eggs.
Headquarter seems to be a typical room from Jamie's
headquarters; noteworthy are the many windows blue screens
that can be seen on the monitors and the behind of some
employee (any information on who this is would be greatly
appreciated). The level is quite amusing, because it looks
like a bunch of overzealous toys are duking it out among
themselves.
6.2.2 Mappack Levels
These levels were distributed over the www.axisarena.net
website. They are smaller than the original levels, and,
in my opinion, feel a bit more simple.
Sanctuary of Agni
A small temple-like structure with several statues in the
middle. A few corridors branch off the main hall, but only
lead back into it.
Red Myst Colosseum
A small Colosseum; several rows of catwalks surround a
central circular arena. Corridors from the catwalks lead
to hidden bonus items.
Crimson Field - ARM Examination Battlefield
A smaller version of the Green Field level, similar in
design but much smaller in size.
The Final Round
An open-air bunker complex, surrounded by a wall. Again,
nowhere to run or hide, so the resulting combat will be
very intense.
Gray Rock Colloseum
Very similar to the Red Myst Colosseum, just minor
changes in the layout of the corridors.
Museum
A small level best suited for one-on-one combat. It
consists of a long hall with a statue in the middle and
two balconys on either end.
Blast Pit - Weapon Training Center
Another level consisting of darkened halls. Due to the
bad lighting, all fighting occurs at short distance.
7.0 Hidden Features
7.1 Big Head Mode
Here is how you can get a big head.
In chat mode, just enter "give me a big head"
To return to a normal-sized head, enter "get back my head"
7.2 Hidden Levels
To get the hidden maps, you have to enter a special 'room
name' when setting up a game. These names are:
The names are case sensitive, so watch your typing.
7.3 Text Colour
You can change the colour of the text in the chat window and
the server browser. Just type "$# NUMBER (0-6)", for example
$#1 Hello
The different colours are:
0 = White 4 = Cyan
1 = Red 5 = Yellow
2 = Green 6 = Magenta
3 = Blue
7.4 Clan Tags
Clan Tags are small bitmaps that are displayed besides
people's names in multiplayer. In order to display one
yourself, you need a suitable bitmap, 16x24 pixels in size,
with 16 bit colour depth. A blank tag is provided in the save
directory of the Axis folder
(usually C:\Axis\save\clanmark.bmp).
Once you have a bitmap that suits your taste, rename it to
match your savegame file.
If your Character for example is named John, his save file
will be John.axs . The bitmap's name would then have to be
John.bmp in order for it to show.
7.5 Chat Macros
Chat Macros are incredibly handy, yet criminally underused.
You can assign a certain phrase (most often a taunt or a
standard answer) to a Macro.
The syntax for it looks like this and has to be entered
in the chat window:
/1= Bow down before your Master!
This phrase has now been assigned as a macro. In order to
recall it, simply type:
/1
"Bow down before your Master!" will now appear on the chat
window. It's much faster than retyping the same taunts over
and over, and also makes you less of a target as you are
immobile while typing.
Only the numbers 0-9 can be assigned as macro positions;
any higher numbers will not work, despite the manual saying
otherwise.
7.6 Toggle Arm Center Interface
To toggle the Arm Center information off just press
Ctrl+Alt+M while in the Arm Center Screen. To toggle the info
back on just press Ctrl+Alt+M again. Useful for screenshots.
7.7 Toggle In-Game Displays
While playing, simply press the F11 key to switch between the
display modes. These modes are:
HIDDEN MESSAGE BOX MODE - The chat box will be deactivated.
SCREENSHOT MODE - makes the entire status displays disappear.
Hitting escape in this mode will NOT bring up the in-game
menu.
NORMAL MODE - The default display mode.
7.8 All Parts/Levels Cheat
Log in and enter the Skirmish menu. There, press left Ctrl,
right Alt, and PageUp simultaneously. Then select cancel
and you will have access to all the parts and skirmish
levels.
I recommend the 'hard way', though, as it'll teach you the
basic skills. The graveyards are full of newbies in shiny
ARM's that could neither evade nor hit anything. Spare
yourself the embarrassment of getting blown to oblivion
over and over and train with the bots first. You will
become a much worthier opponent that way.
