I created Factions Lasertag to be the best backyard lasertag system  you can get.  The vision was to bring laser tag and video game concepts together in two exciting apps with features not available outside of commercial grade systems.   A real time cloud game engine and QR codes take game play beyond anything else out there off the shelf.   All you need is a recoil blaster, a cheap android burner phone, Wifi or cell data, the Factions Laser Tag apps and the “world is truly game”.

FAQ

Is this available on IOS?

Sorry, not at this time.  IOS is in development for a future release.

Do I need WiFi or Cellular Data?

Yes.   You need a internet connection through a WiFi network or using a cellular sim data card.  For real time updates, the app needs to communicate with the cloud servers using an internet connection.  We suggest using a cheap burner Android phone (unlocked is best), and a cheap cell data plan of 2GB-5GB is sufficient for game play.

What Android versions are supported?

At this time the app will work on Android 6-13.

Do Recoil grenades work with the app?

Yes, the recoil grenades work in Factions Laser Tag.  They will do damage to anyone in range, to the tune of 100 health points.

Do the original Recoil WiFi hubs work with this app?

No.   The app requires an internet connection through Wifi or cellular data for gaming.   Outdoor gaming is best played on cell data due to the limitations of wifi range of signal.

How does Friendly Fire Work?

If friendly fire is off you can’t do damage to teammates in team based game play.  If it’s turned on you can accidently damage or eliminate a teammate in the fog of war.

Do both apps use the same game server?

No.   You must create a Call Sign for each app.  They track stats separately.   

How many players can play in a game?

48 max players.  If playing team games, they do not need to be balanced.  You do need a minimum of 2 players in the lobby to start a game as the host.

Is this a one time charge?

Yes.  Both apps are a one time charge for unlimited use and data.  It can be installed on up to 6 devices using the friends and family google plan.

If I reset my Call Sign are my stats erased?

Yes.  If you choose to reset your call sign all career, and last game stats, as well as your call sign are erased from the phone and the cloud database.

How many virtual weapons can I pick up and carry ?

You can pick up 2 additional weapons and carry them virtually.  Allowing you to cycle to a new weapon set with the push of a button on the app.  You can also drop a weapon at anytime and pick up another like video games.

Do I need to exit and turn off my gun after each game?

To keep the app size small, lite and responsive it was easiest to have an exit from the app at the end of the game.  It requires each player to turn off their gun as well.   You can be back at your profile screen in a couple seconds relaunching the app.

What is medic revive?

If you turn on medic revive and set the revive timer for a game, you will have that period of time as a medic to get to a teammate and revive them with the medic QR code or they will need to respawn.   It allows for battlefield “heals” by a medic player.

How do I access Maps, Chat, and Leaderboard?

While on the game screen once a game is in play you can swipe right on the screen to open the menu.   Clicking on a menu option opens that function.  Side swipe left to close the menu.  Currently available in Factions IR Laser Tag.   Coming soon to Forlorn Hope.
