Ref — briefing

Howdy there, champion! Got some news for ya. One ridiculously rich guy's decided he wants to host a tournament with us. He's offering serious cash, plus he's a good fella too... Helped us get the Arena off the ground. Can't exactly turn him down. He's supplying the weapons himself, and that's where things get interesting. These things kick so hard they'll break your fingers after a couple of shots. No idea where he got them, but I've already signed on. So get in on it too. You'll make a fortune.
