What is it?  

This is not a typical force on force event.

 

Escape from Blackrock 4 is a scenario event which pits players against one another in a shoot and loot style game. 

 

In ONE CONTINUOUS RAID each participant will play for their preferred faction—NPO & UCF. Teams are identified by their tops (NPO - Black, UCF - camo). 

 

Working together or independently, players will loot, trade, barter, & build their individual wealth to trade-in for other items and/or real life airsoft gear.

 

How to play:

Shoot. Loot. Escape.

Upon game start, players will be tasked with finding up to but no more than 3 loot items, placing them in their loot bags (cinch sack provided at game start) and extracting with said items. Loot is anything you find including but not limited to: 

• Weapon Parts

• Food/Drinks

• Ammo cases

• Tactical Gear Items

• Medical supplies 

• Anything else marked with a colored dot sticker

 

Players can, then, cash in their loot with the Vendors for “roubles”, items, and gear - BUT - only after escaping the field at one of the predetermined extraction points.

 

The Vendors

Escape from BlackRock 4 is full of interesting NPCs with which to interact, each with their own personality, missions, and shop. Meet the crew.

 

• Artyom

  • Sells general goods - “If Artyom can sell, Artyom wants!”

• Doc

  • Sells medic tape

• Ahab

  • Sells body armor

• The Nomads

  • Gives Rogue armbands, discounted armor

 

Incapacitated 

Once hit, you are required to take a knee where you were shot with your dead rag visible & loot sack open to be looted. There you will remain until one of 3 things happens:

• You’re looted by another player

• You’re revived by another player/yourself (does not apply to Rogues as they cannot be healed)

• You decide to respawn and leave your loot and loot sack behind

 

Medic Rules

On the field and available for purchase from the Doc are rolls of masking Tape. Medic tape CAN BE LOOTED and must remain in your loot sack during play (this counts as one of your 3 items, so if you choose to have tape on you, you’re sacrificing a loot spot). This tape can be used to heal a player who is incapacitated. Wrap one strip of tape around each arm AND each leg to “revive” the player. You can use heals on ANY player, including someone you aren’t allied with. 

 

Medic tape can also be self applied. If you are incapacitated you may choose to medic yourself in. However, if you are tapped while attempting to heal you are KIA and must leave your loot behind - including the medic tape. 

 

Factions/Uniform Recommendations

 

NPO (New Patriot Order) - These patriotic zealots bear the mark of the fist in unity and rebellion against the United Coalition Forces. They believe a traditional United States is the key to a strong country and governing body. Composed of prior special forces, elite commandos, and volunteers, these warriors pose a definite threat to those who oppose them. Though whether or not their allegiance holds together against the cold winds of Mother Russia is yet to be determined.

• Black Tops Required

 

UCF (United Coalition Forces) - The United Coalition Forces represent a global initiative to combine the strengths of today's modern military superpowers. Featuring leadership from most of the world's nations as well as their technologies, the UCF stands virtually unopposed save for the NPO and the Vanguard.

• Camo Tops Required

 

Rogues - This year, The Rogues will be our third faction but with a twist. Any player can assume the role of a Rogue before entering the field at any time. Rogues are identified by a colored ribbon arm band. Being a Rogue has pros and cons.

• Pros

  • Rogues are not limited to 3 loot items and, instead, my loot as many items as they see fit.

  • Rogues may purchase “body armor” at a discounted rate from the Rogue vendor.

• Cons

  • Rogues CANNOT be revived by other players. Rogues may revive themselves if they have the necessary medic tape to do so.
