Legion Arena

The Legion arena is a gladiatorial arena within The Fort.

Layout
The Legion Arena is right below Caesar's tent and is comprised of a small pit with walls of scrap metal hastily put together to form a post-apocalyptic Colosseum. Here the Courier, if male, can fight slaves to the death for the amusement of Caesar's legionaries (females are not allowed to voluntarily fight in the arena). Each fight will pit the Courier against progressively tougher opponents. If Benny escaped from The Tops at the conclusion of Ring-a-Ding-Ding! he will be a prisoner at The Fort, having been captured by Caesar's Legion, and the Courier is given the option to fight him in Arena.

Combat
Speak to Otho, who is standing to the right of the arena gate, in order to participate in arena matches. When you enter a contest your weapons and equipment will be confiscated, replaced with Gladiator armor and a machete. All arena opponents will be either unarmed or equipped with machetes by default. There is an easy trick around this: Simply drop the desired weapons, ammunition, and armor in the arena before the fight starts. The cell does not reset, meaning anything dropped will remain on the ground during the fight where it can be picked up and used. Battling in the arena will give you fame with Caesar's Legion.

Because the Arena fights are as much for earning respect as they are for entertainment, Otho will not allow a female Courier to participate and will say "Know your place woman... only men are allowed to fight in the arena,". The presence of a female slave (Ranger Stella) in the Arena is not a contradiction to this policy as she is not there to earn respect, she is there to die.
