Tracer Night May 24th 2024

Airsoft Armory Tracer Night Friday May 24th

There are two teams that are battling to reclaim/rescue two hostages that are being detained in the jungle. The hostages were taken from a remote town somewhere in the jungle. The hostages managed to escape and call for help from a satellite phone they acquired upon running away from the black team. The hostages have now been recaptured by random tribes in the area and have been detained in undisclosed locations on the map. Both the black team and the green team are searching the jungle for the hostage locations. The black team needs the hostages to sell them to the highest bidder overseas while the green team is here to rescue them and return them home to their families. 

Both teams will be distinguished by a glowstick Black (Purple) and Green (Green). Each team will have a Combat Engineer (decided by event staff randomly) that is solely responsible for freeing the hostages (Meaning nobody but the engineer can release the hostages). The catch is each teams Engineer must locate a lock cutter to be able to release the hostages. The lock cutters will be randomly placed on the map and distinguished by RED glow sticks attached to the cutters. Once either team has acquired both hostages they must fight their way to the extraction zone marked in the purple circle on the map. There they must hold the hostages for 30 mins until the extraction helicopter arrives for extraction. If the extraction team is defeated the other team must acquire the hostages and hold them for 30 mins until their helicopter lands.
During the extraction portion of the game mode the extraction team has 2 lives and can be revived once. Once all lives are gone the extraction team members will move to the outside of the edge of the play area. Once everyone is defeated they will rush to the other side of the standoff zone marked Tournament or for veteran TCA players what’s better known as White Wall. They will then push to get the hostages back under their control. Once the 30 mins timer has been reached the game will end. This could go on for a while back and forth.

We are hoping for a long battle!

EQUIPMENT:
Flashlight - Everyone MUST have a flashlight on them at all time and use it when moving, looking what’s in front of you, etc... THIS IS TO AVOID INJURY/COLLISION WITH OBJECTS ON THE FIELD!

Dead Light - This it for your safety and to avoid being overshot!!!

Tracer Unit - This is Tracer Night so this should be self-explanatory. EVERYONE MUST HAVE A TRACER UNIT TO PLAY!
Please try to have your Orange Tip off before the event to prevent delay in you starting the game. 
**If you NEED help PLEASE come to the store prior to the event so we can get your gun ready!**
All Tracer Units that will be for rent are 14mm Negative thread (This fits MOST Replicas). If you are using a replica that has a different thread size then 14mm- you will be required to provide your own tracer or you will not be able to play. NO REFUNDS

Tracer BBs – Again it’s Tracer Night! self-explanatory. PLEASE use biodegradable Tracer BBs. You may use any color or weight tracer BB you choose it just has to be biodegradable.

Ace Bandages/Tourniquets – These are for being revived on the field during the extraction portion of the game as each team will have 2 lives/1 revive.

NVG/NODS/Night Vision – The Use of Night Vision is allowed for those that own a pair (We hope to have some for rental in the future). PLEASE be mindful of those that are using them as to not shine a flashlight directly into their eyes. IT HURTS

TEAM COLORS:

Each team MUST wear and have on their person the proper colored glow stick to distinguish who is on which team.
Black - Purple Glowstick
Green - Green Glowstick
Combat Engineer - Team Color Glowstick + Blue Glowstick
Hostages – Multiple Orange Glowsticks (CANNOT BE COVERED UP)

**You can cover the glowstick to move BUT, you MUST have it visible when shooting or being shot at to avoid team shooting** 

COMBAT ENGINEER ROLE:

The role of the combat engineer is the exact same as everyone else BUT, they will be the only person able to free the Hostages from the lock and chains (The chains will be wrapped extremely loose on the hostage) using the lock cutter they will locate on the field.

LOCK CUTTERS:

Lock Cutters will be randomly placed on the field and covered in red glow sticks. The glow sticks do not need to stay attached but they are there for visibly finding the cutters. ANYONE can find the cutters but, the Combat Engineer is the ONLY person able to free the Hostages once they are found.

HOSTAGES:

The Hostages (Hostages will be played by event staff and double as Refs) will be placed in random locations on the map and will be chains around the ankles (Very Loose). Once the lock is cut from their feet, they are free to be moved to the extraction point. If the team moving a hostage is defeated the hostages are to remain where they are. HOSTAGES CANNOT BE MOVED/HELD IN YOUR BASE AS IT PROVIDES AN UNFAIR ADVANTAGE. YOU CAN STAND OFF AND HOLD THEM INSIDE ANY OTHER BUILDING ON THE FIELD THOUGH.

EXTRACTION PORTION:

Once the Hostages have been let loose they are free to be moved to the extraction point for extraction. Both teams must fight their way into the extraction area. The 30 min timer will start once one team has both Hostages in the Purple extraction circle on the map. Once the timer starts that is when the 2 lives 1 revive rule comes into play. Once the extraction team is defeated they are to move to the edge of the playing field. When every person on the extraction team is defeated that team is to move to the area on the map marked “Tournament” or better known as “White Wall”. At this point the team that was defeated now turns into the attackers and the timer restarts for the new extraction team.

RESPAWNS:

Until the extraction portion of the game starts (Starts when 30 min extraction timer starts) respawns are one life and respawns are at your team base. Once the extraction portion starts the attackers will have unlimited lives and respawn at the spot marked “Tournament” or better known as “White Wall”.
