Ok, so maybe I am the only one who had no idea about this, but apparently when you run over a weapon pickup you can somewhat choose which weapon you end up with. Jniebaum32 mentioned this to me after watching the video footage of our last match. He said that when the weapon pickup is doing its cycling thing if you hit the fire button for that type of weapon (L1 for red weapons or R1 for yellow weapons) you can stop the cycling thing on the weapon that is showing, causing the game to let you keep that weapon instead of allotting you a random one.

I have not tried this yet myself, but will boot up the game soon to give it a shot.

Yea the weapons sort of cycle through like a slot machine, and you can press the button to select a weapon. Sometimes you get the weapon you want, but more than anything it is a timing issue. Sometimes you need a weapon NOW. Like if the seeker that heads to the front of the pack and takes out the leader is coming, boy is it great to pick up a shield powerup.

This is actually an old tactic used in many of the racing games that use weapons, Mario Kart being the original one that allowed you to do this I believe.
