How to Be Good at Laser Tag

Step-by-Step Guide

1. 1

   Step 1: Be the dark coloured team.

   Bright fluoro green/blue will totally give your position away.
2. 2

   Step 2: Be sure to split your team up for different missions; like

   , Make sure when the enemy comes in and they don't go to that area, you are very still and do not make a move.
   
   Lying on the floor, with your gun under you, will not give you away.
   
   After that, follow the enemy until you are in a preferred position, with enough distance to make a good shot, along with good places to retreat or advance! The team at the top, the defence team, will split the group into half again, preferably groups of 2-3 people, if it's possible, to scout or hold off the enemy. ,, You don't want to stay in one spot and the enemy knows where you are, you want to surprise them in different areas. ,,, Dividers can be very useful for the attacking team- you can peek over the top, and if you see the enemy coming, you can quickly duck down, or shoot at them over the top of the divider. , Also, devise a team strategy. ,,, If there are any injuries, or you have injured yourself, call out for help.
   
   It doesn't matter if the enemy finds you; health and safety are top priorities.
   
   Never shoot in the face. , After that, move, don't stay there. , Moving around may confuse the enemy.
   
   If you stay in one spot, it will be likely that your teammates will move away without you noticing, or the enemy will find you and shoot you- you'll be a sitting duck.
   
   The enemy may also call out 'PLAYER ___ IS HIDING HERE'
   
   and everybody will come and surround you.
   
   Unless you want to set a trap (which you MUST discuss with your team beforehand), move around. ,, Just before your lights come on, shoot back at the enemy, before they can shoot you in your new position.
   
   However, some arenas have banned this kind of movement
   - for a good reason.
   
   Be sure to check out the rules before you do this. , Again, some arena have forbidden this, so always check the rules first. ,,,
