Mandatory Equipment: Gun, face protection/goggles (ASTM F-1776 rated or better), red dead rag, red dead light, camouflage matching team colors. Helmets, boots, knee pads, and gloves recommended.
Key Rules: - Biodegradable BBs only—no metal or ceramic - Semi-auto only (except approved support weapons, capped at 35 RPS) - No hand-to-hand combat, knife kills, or touch kills - No mesh goggles; full-seal systems required - Goggle removal on field = automatic ejection - All weapons chrono'd by staff; tampering after chronograph results in immediate ejection - No barricading doors/windows, no riot shields, no verbal abuse - No drugs, alcohol, or stealing
Respawn System: Players use a rope-based medic respawn. When hit, call "Medic"—a teammate ties a knot in your rope to revive you. After 3 knots, you proceed to the waiting area until the game ends.
