FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
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.

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.
