MEGAWEAPON is a multiplayer arcade-style shooter launched on Abstract blockchain in November 2025 by ceden-network (founded by alex-moody), a Web3 game publisher. Originally developed by Pebeau, Ltd. as a play-and-collect title with its native $WEAPON token, the game migrated to Abstract as part of CEDEN's portfolio expansion onto the chain.

Gameplay Experience

MEGAWEAPON delivers twelve minutes of fast-paced, chaotic competition in a fully browser-based environment with unrestricted free-to-play options. Players design custom characters and collect unique in-game assets while competing on ranked leaderboards and tracking performance metrics. The game's depth lies in its weaponry, items, and strategic gameplay mechanics—designed to be both entertaining and skill-driven.

Three Modes of Play

The game offers three distinct competitive paths, each with corresponding leaderboards and reward structures:

Free Play delivers fully unrestricted gameplay where players compete on the high score leaderboard purely for skill and fun, with no cost barriers to entry.

Tournament Mode costs 1 AMMO per play (or players can opt for an unlimited monthly subscription), where weekly scores accumulate on a Tournament Leaderboard with eligibility for prizes and XP rewards.

DEGEN Mode represents the ultimate high-stakes experience—scores are multiplied by the AMMO multiplier used in each match, creating massive risk/reward potential. DEGEN competitors simultaneously compete across all three leaderboards.

All three modes share the same game lobbies, ensuring consistent competition and fairness.

Tokenomics & Rewards

MEGAWEAPON operates with multiple incentive layers. The original WEAPON token is being redesigned and relaunched on Abstract in Q1 2026, with existing holders receiving a 4:1 airdrop ratio of new tokens. The $BEAVER token, CEDEN's fully distributed meme coin, accrues value through company revenue buybacks and burns, aligning incentives across the ecosystem. In-game AMMO credits function as the primary currency for paid entry modes.

DEGEN players competing from Season 1 until the WEAPON token generation event can compete for 10% of the total supply, with scores carried across seasons and allocated pro-rata at TGE [web:90]. DEGEN NFT holders receive score multipliers and airdrops.

Design Philosophy

CEDEN deliberately prioritized authentic gameplay over blockchain friction. The studio emphasized that Web3 gaming has underperformed by over-emphasizing blockchain and tokenization, which impedes core user experience and fun. MEGAWEAPON showcases Web3 mechanics without compromising playability—something Abstract did not have at launch.

Launch & Adoption

MEGAWEAPON launched on Abstract with a pre-launch tournament (November 6-9, 2025) offering thousands of dollars in token, NFT, and AMMO rewards, with every participating player guaranteed to win. The game is fully playable on browser and positioned as a public commercial beta for Abstract, with planned mobile expansion to support future mainstream onboarding via Abstract's Portal 2 infrastructure.

Streamability & Revenue Sharing

The game's entertaining 12-minute matches and high replayability make it compelling for content creators. MEGAWEAPON offers monetization through leaderboard rewards and referral link revenue sharing, incentivizing streamers to include the title in their rotation.

Season 1 Evolution

MEGAWEAPON launched Season 1 with a new Tournament Pass system, exclusive cosmetic rewards, and ranked competition structure, expanding the game's progression systems and competitive depth.
