Come and Join us this Saturday 1st November for our annual airsoft Wolverhampton night game, own gunners £40, full kit hire with tracer unit and tracer rounds £60 per player. Post code WV107AD. Remember bring torches and tracer units. Airsoft Wolverhampton was the First airsoft centre in the Midlands, we opened over 20 years ago. A **night airsoft game** is one of the most exciting and immersive ways to play — it adds stealth, strategy, and adrenaline to the usual skirmish. Here’s a full guide to help you plan or prepare for one: ## 🌙 **1. Equipment Checklist** ### 🔦 Lighting & Vision * **Red/green flashlight filter** – preserves your night vision and makes you less visible. * **Tracer unit + glow BBs** – helps track your shots in the dark (looks awesome too). * **Headlamp** (with red light mode) – for admin tasks or reloading safely between rounds. * **NVG (Night Vision Goggles)** – optional but a huge tactical advantage if allowed. ### 🪖 Gear & Clothing * **Dark or camo clothing** (avoid all-black, it silhouettes you against the background). * **Helmet/hat and face protection** – essential for low-visibility conditions. * **Gloves + knee/elbow pads** – you’ll be crawling more often. ### 🔋 Power * **Fully charged batteries** for your gun, flashlight, and optics. * **Spare batteries** – cold or damp nights drain power faster. ## 🗺️ **2. Field Setup & Safety** ### Lighting & Markers * **Glow sticks or IR markers** for identifying friendlies (different colors for teams). * **Boundary lights** or glow tape on obstacles to prevent accidents. * **Briefing with field map** before dark — know where cover and hazards are. ### Safety Rules * **Lower FPS limits** can be wise since visibility is reduced. * **No blind firing.** * **Muzzle discipline** — double-check before shooting. * **Emergency light signal or whistle** (e.g., red flashlight = stop game). ## 🎯 **3. Tactics for Night Play** * **Move slow, stay low** — sound travels farther at night. * **Use light sparingly** — a flashlight reveals your position instantly. * **Rely on sound** — footsteps, branches, or BB fire can reveal direction. * **Use the environment** — moonlight, shadows, and silhouettes can help identify targets. * **Communication** — use hand signals, radios with earpieces, or low whispers. ## 🎮 **4. Example Fun Night Game Modes** * **Blackout** – No lights allowed, only tracers and NVGs. * **Zombie Survival** – One team starts infected, tries to “tag” others. * **VIP Extraction** – Protect or capture a player in near-total darkness. * **Recon Raid** – Collect glow sticks or objectives hidden around the field. ## 🔥 **5. Pro Tips** * Tape over reflective patches/logos on your gear. * Test your tracer setup before the game. * If it’s humid or cold, bring anti-fog for lenses. * Stay hydrated — night games can still be exhausting.
