With each Red Feather event , innovation takes center stage , and this year is no different . The experiment focuses on diversifying off-field activities and bolstering participation in nighttime play . Enter the “ Night Time Melee ,” a daring addition to the event . Armed with LARP melee weapons , barrel swabs , and pool noodles , players engage in nocturnal warfare , with respawn points strategically placed at off-field campsites . Under the shroud of darkness and rain , players must fend off roving street gangs , engaged in an all-out melee to seize coveted props . No campsite is safe , as players tirelessly raid enemy strongholds , fighting in the mud and rain for dominance . This inaugural “ Night Time Melee ” is only the beginning , as interest and numbers continue to swell .
The stage for this incredible event is none other than Blastcamp Paintball and Airsoft , a field recognized by the U . S . government as a historic landmark . Its terrain is a relic of the Cold War , complete with radar towers , fallout shelters , generator rooms , troop barracks , and underground tunnels — all preserved in time . This setting adds an unmistakable ambiance , perfectly complementing the Mad Max theme of the scenario event . Whether players seek close-quarters combat or long-ranged engagements , Blastcamp provides the canvas for an unforgettable battle .
Red Feather Paintball has meticulously crafted over 100 missions for each team to conquer throughout the weekend , adding layers of complexity to the gameplay . Timed missions , divided into three resource categories — Fuel , Water , and Ammo — keep commanders on their toes . With the clock ticking , commanders must make strategic choices , selecting only two out of three resource missions , as the unpicked mission fades into oblivion . www . paintball . media
