Redacted – Official Rules

Welcome to the rules for Redacted – a force on force survival which places squads of 3 (registration will allow for individual sign ups) where they are responsible for not only keeping their squad in the fight, but will report to a commander for their faction and work alongside other squads to complete objectives.

Restricted event colours: YOU MAY NOT WEAR RED, OR FLUORESCENT
CLOTHING OR GEAR (defined as: Orange, Green, Yellow, Bright Blue) – these colors are restricted to event staff and photographers.

Survival Items:
Each faction will be required to acquire and maintain supplies throughout the event. Details on these will be released on Facebook. Each squad (group of up to 3) will be required to carry a certain amount of supplies to keep their forces in play. Each faction will have different survival needs but can recover all survival items that they find in the field and use them to limit opposition survival.

 

Medic Rules (Both Factions):
TQs will be required – we will not be supplying them at this event as several events already provide them. If you require a TQ, please visit an onsite vendor.

We will be using the “buddy medic” system at this event, each player can act as a medic to help fallen teammates. They may use a TQ to revive fallen players. There is a 60 second revive time per player, the medic must keep 1 hand on the player being revived for 60 seconds and then may apply a milsim TQ. During this time, the medic may use a sidearm to defend himself and his patient – the patient may not use any platform to defend himself during the healing process.

Only 1 TQ is allowed per player, but multiple TQs can be used on the same person – if others give theirs up. A medic may not use a TQ on themselves (another medic from another squad must attach a TQ and use the 60 second count). 

 

Spawn and Start Locations:
During the meeting of Commanders on Friday evening, both factions will be allowed to choose where their squads will spawn on the field at event start. The different spawn points on the field will allow commanders to select a number of squads to start in each location. Each commander will choose these in alternating and secret fashion – they will be provided a map of starting locations and will provide grid coordinates to each squad – the squads are expected to be in this location 5 minutes prior to game start or will be required to start from the CP location.

During the game, once your squad is eliminated, you will move back to your faction CP or to a Forward deployed spawn location (if one is unlocked). You are expected to remain with your squad as much as possible – lone wolfing is not authorized during this event and if caught lone wolfing you will be asked
to return to your CP to join an Ad-Hoc squad.

Ad-Hoc Squads:
We understand that not all players are able to continue to play for the full 18 hours but some players may want to continue. If it happens that players start finding themselves solo, we ask that they coordinate with their command to form “Ad-Hoc squads” We ask that Ad-Hoc squads be 2 or more players.

In game vehicles:
Each faction will have the ability to field a vehicle for combat purposes.
Before it can be used, there are 3 pieces of equipment to be located: 1x Fuel Can, 1x Ammo crate, 1x toolkit.
Once obtained, these items are good for the following durations:
1x Fuel Can – good for 4 hours of runtime – once that 4 hours is up – the vehicle parks are remains in place until fuel is brought to it.
1x Ammo Crate – good for 4 hours of runtime of mounted weapons – once that time is up, the guns are unable to operate until re-armed
1x toolkit – once located, will be good to be used throughout the event – if stolen the vehicle crew cannot initiate a repair.
Each vehicle will be staffed by 5 people: a driver, co-driver and 3 support personnel. Each vehicle will have the ability to be armed with 2 LMGs and personal weapons for each crew member.

When destroyed, a vehicle will serve out a 10 minute “cooldown” where it can be raided for supplies listed above, if stolen by opposing factions – it will return to CP and serve out it’s 30 minute refit period. To complete a refit, the vehicle must be supplied with fuel, ammo and a tool kit.

Anti-vehicle/anti-tank launchers using TAG rounds or DYI projectiles are to be strictly used against in-play vehicles. They are not to be fired at players at any time, and are limited to chalk rounds only. An AT- round that hits a vehicle only disables it if a +1cm square amount of chalk is marked on impact.

All DYI/ 3D PRINTED launchers and projectiles must be inspected by game staff  prior to the event start time, and will be test fired for determining safety. Any launcher can be rejected for use if DEEMED UNSAFE by game staff.

AT-Round hits on vehicles cause the following damage when struck in the:
Front (grill, hood, windscreen) = 5km/h max speed (repairable)
Sides (Doors, wheel wells, tires, side panels) = Immobilized (repairable)
Turret (Anywhere on turret) = vehicle & crew cannot fire mounted weapons (not repairable)
Rear (Rear panel, door, bumper) = Vehicle & crew destroyed return to CP to refit

Vehicles cannot be within 50m of the enemy CP.

In-Game vehicles may be fully sealed on all sides if they wish.

If a vehicle is immobilized, from an AT-round, but not destroyed, it may attempt a repair. To do this, shift into park, get at least one live crew member to exit the vehicle with a tool in hand, kneel or lay beside a tire, and touch it for 5 minutes without getting shot. If successful, the vehicle may move again.

All vehicles for use in the playing area must be approved by staff in advance of the event date, and must then be inspected for operational safety on the event day 2 hours prior.

All in-play vehicles are limited to 15 km/h driving forward, and 5km/h driving backwards. All vehicles must sound their horn 2 times before backing up, unless there is a driver-visible ground guide behind the vehicle to actively guide them.

All vehicles must stay on the trails/roads at all times, unless backing into a “hide” by means of a ground guide. When leaving a “hide”, a vehicle can only drive forward at no more than 5km/h.

All vehicles must have a fire extinguisher, and basic repair tools. A Winch or Tow Cable must be available inside the vehicle for real world breakdowns.

Vehicles cannot produce diesel-based smoke screens.

All vehicle crews must drape a large red cloth or flag over the hood of the vehicle, and engage at least 1 red light (at night) when destroyed or moving within the playing area out-of-play. I.E. heading back to the CP after being destroyed.

All vehicles must stay on the trails/roads at all times, unless backing into a “bunker” by means of a ground guide. When leaving a “bunker”, a vehicle can only drive forward at no more than 5km/h.

Disabled vehicles can be pushed out of the way to free up a road way if needed to continue the flow of the game.

Vehicles cannot drive through smoke – if a smoke grenade is deployed in front of a vehicle it must come to a complete stop and wait for the smoke to dissipate.

Vehicles Can not drive through road blocks must be moved by players on the ground. ( road blocks are 2 stationary blocks and 4 moveable orange road blocks.) Do not move trees or other objects to block roadways.

On Field Props:
Props will be identified by faction specific markings  – until a specific mission provided by your command requires it, you are not allowed to move, interact or disturb any props in the field. You may advise your command of prop locations and may guard these locations – but you are not to touch the props unless advised you can move it.
