THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF GEL BLASTER FIELDS

The choice of playing field significantly impacts the Gel Blaster experience. Whether indoors or outdoors, each type of field offers unique challenges and strategic opportunities, depending on the game mode.

Before exploring different battlefield types, let’s take a look at the key areas commonly found on most Gel Blaster fields.

1. Key Areas of a Gel Blaster Field

Safe Zone

A designated secure area where players can rest, store their gear, and prepare before heading into battle.

Safety Rules:

• No shooting is allowed in this area.
• Blasters must always be pointed toward the ground.
• Protective gear (goggles, masks) must be worn outside this area.
• Some venues may ban blasters in the Safe Zone entirely to prevent accidents.

Respawn Zone

Inspired by FPS video games, this area allows eliminated players to re-enter the game after a set period.

Variations:

• Instant respawn upon entering the zone.
• Delayed respawn after a countdown (e.g., 30 seconds).
• Limited respawns per player or game.

Test Zone

Often located near the battlefield, this area allows players to test their blasters, fine-tune settings, and adjust aiming systems before a match.

Game Zone

The main battlefield where combat takes place.

• The layout varies based on the game mode (CQB, forest, Speedball, etc.).
• Can be indoors or outdoors, featuring different obstacles and tactical elements.

Now, let’s explore the different types of Gel Blaster fields and what makes each unique.
