Bomb / Demolition Format

Bomb / Demolition Format reference article.

Overview

Bomb or Demolition formats revolve around planting, delivering, or disarming a symbolic device at a designated objective site while the opposing team attempts to prevent completion.

Key Points

  • One team is tasked with delivering or planting a symbolic bomb at a specific location.
  • Opposing teams defend the target site or attempt to prevent successful completion.
  • Formats may use single or multiple bomb sites depending on field layout.
  • Common in scenario events, themed days, and objective based rotations.
  • Emphasizes timing, lane control, and focused assaults on defined objectives.

Details

Bomb or Demolition formats use a symbolic device often represented by a prop case, marker, or themed object as the focal point of the objective. A designated attacking team is responsible for transporting this device to one or more bomb sites identified on the field. Once at the target area, the device is typically placed or activated according to event parameters, while the defending side attempts to prevent this outcome.

Field design heavily influences how Demolition games unfold. Some layouts feature a single central or forward positioned bomb site, drawing both teams into a concentrated engagement zone. Others incorporate multiple sites placed across different parts of the field, forcing attackers to choose where to commit resources and defenders to allocate coverage across a wider area. Scenario events may stage bomb objectives at towers, bunkers, buildings, bridges, or fortifications.

The presence of a portable objective adds a mobile component to territory based engagements. Attacking teams must balance the safety of the device carrier with the need for pace and momentum. Protective formations typically develop around the carrier, while supporting players work to clear lanes, occupy key bunkers, and deny defensive angles at or near the target site.

Defensive teams prioritize chokepoints, overlapping fields of fire, and timing based counterattacks. When multiple bomb sites exist, defenders must decide whether to concentrate on high probability targets or disperse forces to cover all possibilities. Scenario variations may include secondary objectives such as locating the device, returning it to a safe zone, or disarming a planted prop within a time limit.

Bomb / Demolition structures are frequently integrated into narrative events alongside other mission types, forming one component of larger objective trees or campaign arcs. Their clear win conditions and focused objective areas make them suitable for both smaller organized groups and large scale scenario segments.
