are raised, your opponents cannot tag y ou, you cannot launch
any tags, and no other player can get a lock-on to you or any
IFF info about you. When shields are raised, both bar graphs
will be shown as “full” until you have less than 10 seconds of
shield time left in the game. Below 10 seconds, these bars will
decrease to warn you that you should conserve your remaining
shield time. There is a mandatory 2-second cool down period
between lowering and raising your shield again.
•Mega-Tags – You can create a Mega-Tag by adding up to 3
additional tag points to a tag that you are about to launch. You
add tag points by holding FUNCTION and pressing TRIGGER once
for each additional tag you want t o add to the basic tag. Once
you have added the extra tags, release the FUNCTION button.
The next time you pull the TRIGGER you will be launching that
Mega-Tag. A Mega-Tag will cause your TAGGER to “overheat”
for 2 seconds per extra tag added. During that time you can’t
launch any more tags or raise your shields, but you can still be
tagged by other players.
•T-Minus – The counter that counts down t o start a game.
•Medic Mode – Allows you to transf er some of your remaining
tags to a teammate, either to help them if they are nearly
tagged out, or to build them up so they can withstand a larg e
number of tags without fear of being tagged out. This is an
advanced feature, and is described in det ail in the MEDIC
MODE section.
