We often get asked how to do well at laser tag - so here is everything you need to know

THE equipment

Still serving players well even at 10+ years old!


Laser beams spread:

  • The laser beam can spread to a good few inches wide
  • You can even tag multiple players with one shot!


The laser has a limited rate of fire:

  • Level 1 and 2 game modes - 1.5 shots per second
  • Level 3 game modes - 1 shot per second


Trigger lockout delay: '"Listen to the vest and do what it tells you to do."

  • When your vest re-activates, it plays the famous "wakeup" sound.
  • While it is making this sound, your laser cannot fire.
  • If you attempt to fire before the sound finishes playing - your laser will be locked for 60milliseconds.


Learn the deactivation time:

  • Level 1 and 2 game modes - 5 seconds
  • Level 3 game modes - 8 seconds
  • Level 3 games also often have stuns
  • 4 seconds, when tagged on shoulders or laser
  • Cannot fire, but CAN still be tagged
  • 3 consecutive stuns = deactivation


Please - no covering of sensors

Other useful tips

  • "If you tag multiple players - remember the order in which they went down, because they will ALWAYS re-activate in the exact same order."
  • "Find areas with large concentrations of opposing players - that's where the real points are!"
  • "No matter where you're playing - the middle of the arena is always a death trap"
  • "Keep moving, you're harder to tag if you keep circling the perimeter of the arena.'"
  • "Assuming you're right-handed and shoot from right to left, it's easiest to circle the arena counter-clockwise."
