Like Hoverboard races in the Solana Galaxy, the racer was provided weapons to fight off other racers. Weapons available were rockets, although you could not pick up addition ammo and were given about six shots. A repeating blaster was available. The blaster only fired straight forward however. Another weapon was the shock blaster. This weapon created a wave of electricity arcing out from the front of Ratchet's Hoverbike, destroying anything in its path. In later races, other racers could use rockets against Ratchet, but never used them against other racers. To avoid being hit by a rocket, you had to steer sharply to the right or left when you realized you were being targeted by another racer.
