======Eliminator======
Make the most out of **WipEout HD**'s weapon system and tear your way through other pilots for points. Unlike in **Single Race**, the objective isn't to finish first - it's to inflict as much damage and destruction as possible.

Instead of awarding points for getting kills like the mode did in its previous appearances in [[:wipeout_series|the WipEout series]], **WipEout HD** gives points for //any// hits to other contenders, as well as for completing a lap. **Turbo**, **Shield** and **Autopilot** items are disabled in **Eliminator**, and the **Weapon Pads** have no cooldown, although the player can't get an item from the same **Weapon Pad** more than once until they go over another. The player is given the option to perform a **Combat Spin** by hitting a button - R1 by default - to quickly spin their ship 180° and fire their weapon at someone behind, or meet their opponents halfway if they pulled away. Notably, this also intentionally allows **Quakes** to be fired backwards - something that isn't possible in other modes.

**Eliminator** can be played against AI or online opponents that also own the **Fury** DLC, with the ability to set the target to between 200 and 600 points in increments of 20 points.
