Game show events are triggered partway through each round and last for two minutes. These affect the gameplay experience, so contestants need to be flexible and ready to adapt. Game show events are disabled in Ranked Tournaments.
Meteor ShowerMeteors fall near cashout stations.
Meteors fall from the sky, destroying structures and damaging contestants. Meteor impacts also engulf the area in flame. If there is more than one active Cashout Station, meteors will always fall at only one. If there is no active Cashout Station, they will fall at a random, inactive one. In Power Shift, the meteors will fall around the platform.
Take cover indoors to avoid taking damage from the impacts. When attacking a Cashout Station, take advantage of the destruction and chaos to gain the upper hand.
Low GravityExperience longer hang time in the air.
Low Gravity reduces gravity in the arena and affects contestants, objects, debris, and projectiles.

Earn $1000 per elimination instead of $500. This game show event only affects Cashout Tournament modes.

Mega DamageDamage to the arena is magnified.

Orbital LasersLasers take aim at contestants who aren’t moving.
Orbital lasers target contestants who don't move for one second or longer. They deal 99 damage to contestants and cannot be blocked by shields. Contestants who are using an interactable are excluded from the laser's targeting. When a laser targets a contestant, a bright line will extend vertically from their position, and a small circle will show where the laser will impact.
When attacking a Cashout Station on high ground, contestants can stand below the cashout and let the Orbital Laser destroy the structure above them.
Alien InvasionUFOs hover over objectives and shoot toward the ground.

Retro Invasion 82Aliens target contestants from above.
Introduced in Season 2. Rows of retro aliens slowly move over the arena, shooting down lasers that damage contestants and destroy structures. Similar to Orbital Lasers, a small circle is shown where the laser will impact.

NedstrikeIntroduced in Season 7 during the Head2Head Event and was available only for several maps in Head2Head gamemode. A giant monster (the kaiju known as Hammerhead Ned) frequently throws boulders into the arena, similar to the meteor shower event. However, the boulders have a few distinctions from the meteors; firstly, they target the location of the cashbox, rather than just the areas around the cashout stations. They also trade causing fires in the arena for more structural damage, generally causing larger holes in buildings.A giant monster throws boulders near cashout stations.
