How to win laser tag?
As for tactical actions, we advise you to follow the basic rules, which, perhaps, will not lead you to victory but will definitely save you from being "dead" in the first minutes of the battle.
1. Check the field of fire. While there is no enemy around, assess the situation, remove anything that prevents you from aiming comfortably.
2. Don't forget about the enemy's defeat sensors located on the headband. Keep your head down, look around fast, hide just as fast.
