Zombie tag is one of the most popular asymmetric scenarios in laser tag clubs: infection waves, role switching, and apocalypse atmosphere. You need two kit types: taggers for humans and Zombie kits for the undead. Here is a practical guide to LASERWAR gear.
Minimum starter kit
- Game sets (taggers) for humans — at least 4–6 units.
- Zombie kits with headbands — 2–3 for the starting zombie team.
- Base station or software for hit tracking — depends on product line.

Taggers for humans: three LASERWAR lines
The homepage showcases three flagship sets — each fits a different venue type:
- AK-12 Irbis (Alphatag) — outdoor fields and long range.
- AK-12LT Predator (lasertag) — all-round arena rifle, classic zombie tag mechanics.
- MP9-LT Phoenix (Cybertag) — compact SMG for mazes and tight corridors.
Rules per line: zombie tag scenarios.
Zombie kits
Zombies don't use taggers. They wear headbands with sensors and firmware that emit IR infection pulses every 2–3 seconds. Zombies have boosted health and damage to balance asymmetric teams. Details in the lasertag scenario.
Guns from movies and games
Clubs often pick models that match iconic zombie franchises for themed events:
- Guns from movies — Walking Dead, Resident Evil, Zombieland, and more.
- Guns from games — Left 4 Dead, Dying Light, Resident Evil, Dead Rising.
Catalog picks like Beretta, Minigun, and assault rifles work great for zombie events and promo photos.
