Got a chance to check out these laser blasters from the number one industrial supplier for laser tag equipment and see if the consumer grade guts are just as good.
Its a super interesting entrant into a category that many of us have written off as stale and I'm super excited to see how the gameplay develops with more options and players on the field.

The idea that you can set up these different cardboard skins around the battlefield as loot is really neat. The fact that they’re cheaper than making entirely new blasters I think makes it a unique and viable gameplay feature

@jasonschwartz9481 2 года назад

Yes to all of this! I'm excited!

@salmoncloth7050 2 года назад

I love how because of the fact that they're cardboard they also are really blocky and look like the weapons from something like Half Life.

Drac: It's been a while since we've had good laser tag systems. Me: I've got half a dozen Phoenix LTXs me and my buddies use, and they've got scopes, shot blast barrels, slings, the whole 9 yards. They still work, and they're still fun.

This is so cool. While I have DEFINITELY not been a laser tag guy, in fact I've kinda hated laser tag, but these look so freaking awesome. The ability to change your weapon type AND have it look different is so cool to me. So while it is very pricey and I probably will never buy these, I love the idea and I hope it continues.

@derpstar3629 2 года назад

i like how the gun uses those little scan codes to make your gun differently because theoretically i could make my own shell with any of the codes in it which adds EVEN MORE CUSTOMIZABILITY

@emanuelemanuel7038 2 года назад

The nature of its construction allows you to play in and leave these blasters out in harsh conditions for long periods if time without ruining the main components! Love this idea and it's modularity, cant wait for video game gun skins become available or even open Source so we can make out own weapons and gametypes

@ZakLeek 2 года назад

I like how you could swap each skin on the fly as you're playing; you could have a backpack with 1 or 2 of them and they'd be super lightweight. The idea of a Battle Royale" where you have to find new skins is also quite appealing. Thanks for showing this off Drac! 🧡💜💛

@gerardmourits8709 2 года назад

Seems pretty practical but are they little brat proof. At what point are you just running with just the chip on the blaster.

@unknownb0i200 2 года назад

you could also replace a chip of one weapon to another, so the enemy thinks you have a sniper but in reality you have a shotgun

@rederickfroders1978 2 года назад

Modularity! Yes! Not alot of companies will do this because it could end up eating their profits, but we actually need more of this. Profit vs just innovations, I choose just. Though this company probably doesnt allow third party cardboard bodies, its a step forwards nontheless

@jasonschwartz9481 2 года назад

Amazing company! Literally have almost invested in a pro laser tag package because of their offerings.

@zachtos2 2 года назад

Wait till you learn how to sync two pistols to one headband to dual wield. Super fun. Also, sniper rifle if you hold the trigger it turns on the sighting laser which flashes enemy headband so you know you have a lock, release to fire.

Still waiting for a true spiritual successor to Battle Tag… while I think the weapon-swapping gimmick is cool and the system uses sensors separate from the phasers (which is a *huge* step up from the typical infomercial set), there still isn’t a system that’s as fleshed-out or as well-done as Battle Tag. Full upper-body sensor vests, Worker Swift-level build quality, NFC sensors for ammo reloading and objective points, DOZENS of game modes with varying degrees of customization, support for up to eight players, and real-time PC-based score tracking - only an actual laser tag facility can compare. It’s a shame that Ubisoft ruined Battle Tag’s chances the moment they decided to show it on-stage at E3 one year…

@zachtos2 2 года назад

Swaptx has live scoring for up to 16 players with no PC needed. One player can start and stop the game. I consider that a huge step up.

@QuantumVoyager56 2 года назад

Imagine if we could do this with nerf, it would be modulus 2.0 and it would be glorious. Edit: after some thinking I figured out that might work. The core would be a select fire strife with a worker lightning storm stock because of its compactness and simple design. There would be three “forms” a sniper rifle, a shotgun, and an M4 rifle. The special guns would be barrel attachments with pegs that tell the gun what it is, sort of like the lego Mario power up system. The sniper would have max flywheel power but it’s semi auto and every 6 shots you have to press the mag release to continue using the gun. The shotgun would be 3-round burst with the lowest flywheel power of all three of them but it has a capacity of 12 darts to make up for the low power of the gun. The M4 is full auto with a capacity of 10 darts and medium flywheel power. And that is my proposal for a system like this, give me suggestions if you think something is in need of changes.

@typehere6689 2 года назад

Or something. The option for fixed magazines or belt feeding would be nice.

@RyanZibell 2 года назад

I feel like the advantage of this system is that it referees itself. When nerfing there's inevitably an argument about who tagged who. Also the rarity rolling and getting increased luck with more tags is just not possible with nerf

@rokushou 2 года назад

I don't like how all the code is on the blaster, but you have to buy the skin for the chip to unlock it. I would much rather have a setting/switch to toggle through the gun types with the skins being purely cosmetic or an alternate way to swap guns. Smells a bit like the "toys to life" (e.g. skylanders, amiibo) model where they sell you a game and expect you to keep buying physical add-ons to unlock all it has to offer.

@benjaminsuckow833 2 года назад

Good point, but I think this is a good application for the toys to life concept. If you want to have a "battle royale" and you just have a switch, what's stopping someone from just switching to the best version? This adds some luck into the game, which can make it more exciting for some. A switch would be better for two brothers playing in their backyard, but for a whole neighborhood battle I think this is the way to go. Plus the skins just look, and according to drac, feel awesome.

@rokushou 2 года назад

@@benjaminsuckow833 Like I said in my comment, a skin could be an alternate way to switch. You could have game modes that lock out switching on the blaster or even limit what weapons you can switch to like shotty snipers. I'll spare you my thoughts on the "battle royale" genre, but it feels like they're just trying to cash in on the Fortnite trend.

@zachtos2 2 года назад

@@rokushou there are more game modes. You can replicate counter strike by dropping your gun in place on death. Also the best part of a skin is the ability to identify the threat. Zig zag if you see a sniper, or stay back from a shotty. Add some field objectives later and there is more coming.

@rokushou 2 года назад

@@zachtos2 I wasn't complaining about not enough game modes, I was saying the ability to switch guns without skins could be limited to keep all current game modes viable. I understand there are benefits to the skins, I would just like to also have the option to play with gun types when you don't own the skin.

@RyanZibell 2 года назад

@@rokushou also, if everything was on board the blaster/tagger, they would be charging a dam sight more than $80 US for the base model. Buying into the system is really affordable, then you can take your base model to your friends place and he might have more skins and you can have a blast (pun)

@congokael8087 2 года назад

The idea is awesome, and the skins are reasonably priced - but the base blaster is $90, and the headset is another $45 - so $135 for a blaster with a cardboard shell... That is a bit too much for my blood.

@fearlesswee5036 2 года назад

I don't think the skins tell the gun the specific stats, but rather the gun has the stats for each weapon built-in, and the tag just tells the gun what skin you put on. You would have to take apart and hack the gun itself, but at that point just do the old-fashioned TV remote trick lol

@@kriss3401 TV remotes and laser tag blasters use the same technology to fire an invisible beam; Infrared! A lot of the older laser tag sets from the 90's and early 2000's would be able to be "shot" by pointing a TV remote at them and pressing a button to fire an IR beam at them. Since a TV remote isn't designed to be a gameplay blaster, you could fire infinite lasers as fast as you could press buttons, and nobody could tag you back lol!

There are actually 30 different weapons built in, from the simple pistol upgrade to a Gatling gun.

Even a cheap plastic shell would be far more durable than cardboard, which will get wet, crushed, trampled, etc. For how insanely expensive these are I'm quite surprised they went with cardboard. (A 2 player set with the headbands, aka the minimum possible option to be able to play a game of laser tag with these blasters, costs *$270 USD!!!* Not including all the skins!!! Yikes! You can get the pheonix LTX tagger 2-pack from amazon for $80 USD. It won't have the skins gimmick, but that's a *hefty* pricetag to pay for cardboard.)

You need to follow the instructions and pair the headset and set a unique ID 1,2,3,4 etc one time for each blaster. Once it's set you won't have to do it again unless friends come over and have the same id's. Then one gun can be an Admin to start games. To hear score double tap reload
