Equipment Overview: The equipment manufactured by Action Ukraine Laser Tag is designed to look similar to actual military weapons and features sensors on both the realistic looking tagger and a headset worn during the game. They have replicas of rifles, pistols, machine guns, sniper rifles and rocket launchers as part of their product line. Six game modes available can be played as using the equipment:

“The Battle” game mode allows all players to receive armor class 6 and 990 rounds of ammunition. Players are divided into two teams before taking to the field. The goal is to capture the base or destroy the opposing team.

The game mode called “Act of Terrorism” starts all players out with armor class 6 and 990 rounds of ammunition. Players are divided into two teams of eight players and “occupy the territory”. The  “Terrorists” team will receive the “bomb” at the start of the game, which must be delivered to the site of the “attack”, activate, and get a safe distance from the mine to wait for it to go off. The “Special Forces” team should not prevent successful completion of the game “attack”.

For “9ROTA” players are divided into two teams of 12. Defense players take the more advantageous position on the ground and receive 990 rounds of ammo, armor class 6 and must protect their base. “Forwards” players (those playing offense) receive 600 rounds of ammunition and armor class 6. If a player is deactivated they must return to the base and re-activate in order to return to the battle. The players on the attack will aim to destroy the opposing team’s base while the other team defends it during the 15 minute game.

During the “Survivor” game all players receive an armor class 6 and 990 rounds of ammunition prior to the game. They seek out an advantageous location on the field and aim to “stay alive” by deactivating everyone else during a 15 minute game.

“The Bodyguard” is all about protecting the VIP player and getting the to the evacuation point without being tagged. The VIP player gets an armor class 1 and 100 rounds of ammunition while the bodyguard players receive an armor class 2 and 600 rounds of ammo. Additionally two player (dubbed “killers”) will get 600 rounds of ammunition and armor class 3.

During “Mission Impossible” one player is designated the “Superhero” and receives 990 rounds of ammunition and armor grade 6. Their objective is to destroy the opposing team’s base, which is protected by the “bodyguards” with 100 rounds of ammunition and armor class 1. The “Superhero” may be equipped with an optional walkie-talkie for communication with the observer.
