Tron legacy identity disk

A program holds a light disc during a disc wars battle.

A Light Disc is the main weapon used by programs in cyberspace. It is an updated version of the ancient Identity disc. The weapon can either be used in a melee attack or can be thrown towards the enemy. Discs can also be used defensively as shield, blocking the enemy's disc. The program can "recall" his or her disc at any time and the disc will fly back to its program. Discs also bounce off of walls and ceilings, which can become a serious hazard if any nearby programs are not careful. When the weapon hits someone, the disc flies through the enemy, effectively derezzing him or her. After the hit, the disc immediately flies back to its user. When not in use, the disc is holstered on the back of the program.

The weapon is used for Disc Wars, a gladiator game grid game where programs face each other in separate compartments. When armed, the disc enables a beam of energy that begins to spin rapidly around the perimeter of the disc, creating a refraction of light in the surrounding air around the disc (an effect similar to "heat haze" or a "mirage").
