About the event

NUKE Challenge 2026
After a few years of interruption in the NUKE series, in January 2026 we return with another edition of NUKE.

In this edition, the game model will be long-range reconnaissance patrols (LRRP) where participants will have defined checkpoints with specific objectives and missions at all these checkpoints, objectives and missions that, if not fulfilled, may influence the success of the following objectives and missions. Therefore, we ask all participants to pay close attention to fulfilling them.

LRRP will be inserted behind enemy lines of defense where they will operate in total autonomy and remain infiltrated until all missions provided by the command have been completed. If they are detected and/or captured by the mechanized and dismounted search and capture patrols, they will be subject to interrogations that may jeopardize the entire mission.


LONG RANGE RECON PATROLS (LRRP)
In full autonomy, they must be able to fulfill all the objectives and missions that will be assigned during the course of the event.

When we say full autonomy, we really mean full autonomy. If you don't know what that means, please do a little research to find out what it means.
Within the objectives and missions, they must be able to conduct reconnaissance, assaults, infiltration, exfiltration, sabotage, recovery and collection, and still remain undetected by the enemy.

The event is limited to 10 LRRP patrols;
They DO NOT operate with less than 2 elements;
They DO NOT operate with more than 8 elements;
They are prepared to be autonomous for a maximum period of 36 hours;


SEARCH AND CAPTURE PATROLS (SCP)
Unlike LRRPs, they can operate with vehicles or on foot, these patrols are on their territory, so they have more autonomy, they have their own base as well as control posts in various locations on the ground. They know the terrain like no one else, they work in an organized manner and, above all, they are extremely well equipped.

Their main objective is to maintain control of the entire area within a 20km radius of their command post.

They DO NOT operate with less than 2 elements;
They DO NOT have a maximum limit of operators;
They could use any kind of vehicles;
Prepared to be autonomous for a maximum period of 36 hours;

LIMITED AMMUNITION

These rules apply to all event participants, whether they are LRRP, SCP, or members of the organization.

Playing airsoft in nature is more than a pastime—it's an experience of freedom, adrenaline, and respect. But this freedom comes with responsibility. Every plastic BB left on the ground is a small negative impact that, over time, multiplies.
Why choose biodegradable BBs?
✅ They decompose naturally without polluting the soil
✅ They don't harm local fauna and flora
✅ They respect the environment and future generations
✅ They demonstrate a commitment to sustainable airsoft
💡 Remember: a game may last a few hours, but common BBs can remain in the environment for hundreds of years.
⚠️ Many fields have already made the use of biodegradable BBs mandatory. Even when it's not required, the choice is yours—choose wisely.

- To ensure everyone plays equally, the maximum magazine capacity is:
- Carbine (M4, AK, MP5, G36, ARP9, etc.): 36 rounds per magazine
- LMG (M249, M60, RPK, etc.): 200 rounds per magazine
- SNIPER (M24, VSR, T10, L96, SSG1, etc.): 15 rounds per magazine

- You can ONLY carry bbs in magazines
- Carrying speedloaders is not allowed
- Whenever you need bbs, you must request an airdrop from your commander; they will provide a safe location for you to do so.

⚠️ IMPORTANT - Before starting the game, you must provide your commander with all the necessary equipment (including bbs) to reload your empty magazines. That is, when the airdrop is requested, a box containing this equipment will be made available to your team.
