HOW TO SURVIVE THE WASTELAND
Everything you need to know
Disclaimer
Rules and details change from game to game. Some events you can bring your own BBs, some you cannot. Always check your confirmation email and the official rules for each specific event before attending.
What Is The Reign Series?
A real-life video game. Immersive airsoft meets RPG. This isn't a standard airsoft match — it's a persistent world with factions, NPCs, quests, an economy, and a storyline that evolves based on player actions. Every event is a living world with real rewards, real food, real prizes, and deep NPC interaction — characters that remember you, storylines that bend to what you do, and a wasteland economy where the in-game currency you earn can buy you actual gear you take home.
In-Game Currency
Earn caps through missions, challenges, and trading. Spend on BBs, food, healing, mercenary contracts, fortifications, and specialty weapons. No real money during gameplay — it's a fully immersive economy.
Mission Types
NPC bounties, rescue missions, item retrieval, faction raids, scavenger hunts, two-outcome surprise quests, escort missions, and more. Over 100 handwritten paper missions per event.
Skill Challenges
The Cage
Melee duels, 1v1 tournaments
Iron Grip
Arm wrestling contests

Run-and-gun obstacle course
All challenges support betting and tournament systems.
The Wasteland Bazaar
Your one-stop shop for survival. Gambling tables (roulette, dice, blackjack, Texas Hold'em), food vendors, weapon repair, trading posts, and NPC services. The social and economic heart of every event.
Gambling Tables
Texas Hold'em, Roulette, and Blackjack — all played with in-game currency. Win big, lose it all, or walk away with enough caps to reshape your game.
Bounty Broker
A dedicated NPC where you can place bounties on other players, or pick up bounty contracts to hunt targets for in-game currency rewards. Turn grudges into paychecks.
Shops — Real Items You Take Home
Spend your in-game currency on REAL goods that leave the event with you. What you earn in the wasteland comes home in your car.
- Real airsoft guns — win enough currency and you can buy actual guns to keep
- Real food and drinks — hot dogs, burgers, water, soda, coffee
- Armor and gear
- Patches
- Books from the Bazaar library
A Fully Interactive Experience
The Bazaar is staffed by over 10 different NPCs running shops, games, challenges, and storylines. Characters interact with players and weave story moments into the Bazaar experience — you might walk in for a drink and walk out carrying a rumor, a contract, or a dagger in your back. There's even a library with books and coffee — a chill spot in the middle of a warzone.
The Bazaar is the social hub of every Reign Series event — it's where deals are made, alliances form, and betrayals happen.
Early Game Strategy
Focus on missions and currency first. Fortify your position. Assign roles within your group. Share resources. Stock up on heals, ammo, and bunkers. The early game determines your late game.
The Endgame
The last 45 minutes: no more quests. The mutant horde descends. Survive, defend, fight. This is what everything has been building toward.
3 Ways to Win
Solo Survival
Neutral players must reach the safehouse in mutant territory from the hardest spawn point by endgame. No faction. No backup. Pure survival.
Faction Victory
Join one of four factions. Defend at least 1 of 5 objective flags from the final mutant horde. Strength in numbers.
Custom Faction
Groups pay in-game currency for a Faction Creation Kit. Choose a unique identity. Defend your single assigned flag. Forge your legacy.
