Highlights
Outing Highlights
The world’s largest airsoft zombie apocalypse
Zombies 9 invites players to take part in what is billed as the world’s largest airsoft zombie apocalypse, a mass‑play event staged by Ballahack Airsoft.
Ammo scarcity shapes every decision
Ballahack provides free Elite Force .bbs and issues each survivor a small allotment of ammunition to begin each phase; players must locate supply cases during gameplay to replenish their stocks, making scavenging a core survival objective.
Three timed phases and a closing raffle
The day is organized into three distinct phases with rallies between them and a closing raffle; play moves on a fixed timeline from morning parking and processing through a late‑afternoon finale.
What the day feels like
How the day moves
Expect a full, structured day of staged airsoft combat: arrive for parking and processing, gather for a formal briefing, then move through three timed gameplay phases in which survivors—split into on‑site groups—must manage limited ammo, locate supply cases and coordinate with teammates to stay in play.

Details to review before reserving
Ballahack will provide free Elite Force .bbs to all players; however, each survivor receives only a small amount of ammo at the start of each phase and must rely on finding supply cases during gameplay to increase ammunition. Plan gear around limited on‑field ammo and scavenging objectives.
Free .bbs are provided by Ballahack; the event’s design intentionally limits starting ammunition for each phase to make locating supply caches a gameplay element.
The operator supplies the baseline ammunition (Elite Force .bbs) and structures play so that resupply occurs via in‑game supply cases rather than unlimited on‑site restocking.
Review cancellation policies before reserving.
