As the 2025 NXL Season nears the game-on buzzer we recommend all players install the latest firmware update for their high-end Eclipse markers. This update –  Ver 1-6-1  – is only available for the following MME Platform CS3, EGO LV2 and Geo R5. This version of firmware has been created specifically to address some concerns raised at the 2024 NXL World Cup by the refs and organisers. These concerns were focused around players knowingly, or accidentally, adjusting the NXL 2016 Preset outside the legal NXL firing mode rules. The adjustments of the KICK-IN, SUSTAIN, and RESTART parameters resulted in unacceptable ramping behaviours. This latest firmware version contains the new 'NXL 25' Preset which functions exactly the same as the NXL 2016 preset but it cannot be adjusted outside of the legal NXL Firing Mode Rules. This is NOT a different firing mode; it is purely there to assist the referees in quickly and effectively identifying if a marker is 100% legal, without wasting prec...

Norway's Molde Xtreme took the 2024 Norwegian Paintball League (NPL) Elite Division honours in fine style! Consistency has always been the key to winning titles. Yes, winning events is the most exciting and impressive way of doing it, but ultimately you need to maintain a high level of performance consistently to give your team a shot at the season title. And Molde Xtreme did just that. After a 4th place finish at the first event, they stepped things up in round two taking a solid 2nd place. So things were looking up and they found their sweet spot, but with just two more rounds to go they knew what they needed to do; strong podium placings were the minimum requirement for success. Round three saw them take an impressive 1st place finish which gave them all the momentum they needed heading into the final round. A round that yet again, Molde Xtreme performed exceptionally as they took yet another 1st place to secure the 2024 NPL Elite Series Title. It was the perfect blend of drive,...

Our favourite Portuguese men of paintball war, Sporting CP, have been having a season! They make the journey to the UK for each round of the UK's premiere paintball series, the CPPS which in itself is admirable. Competing in the Series' highest division, Elite, is no easy task. The whole division is stacked but the top 5 teams really are the very best the UK has to offer, with the likes of The Lucky 15s and Manchester Firm fighting to claim the title on home soil. Sporting had a great season in 2023, but they wanted more, so we asked them about their plans for 2024 and how things are shaping up so far. Photo: Blitzed Media Photo: Blitzed Media Photo: Blitzed Media Another year we flew to England to compete in the Elite Division of the CPPS, but this year with podiums! Our commitment to two years of hard work in the UK is finally paying off, and for the first time we feel like we're starting to build our identity as one of the most promising young teams on the European top-f...

We always love to see new teams join the Planet Eclipse family and here we are welcoming the exciting Toulouse Purple Semi Pro team with open arms. Our good friends at Camp Paintball in France had this to say about their new signing:   We are delighted to announce that the Toulouse Purple Club and its Teams have chosen to shoot the Planet Eclipse CS3 & Geo R5 markers from now on. At last, they'll be able to shoot the most fragile paint available and rely on the proven reliability of Planet markers. Firmly focused on the future and working hard on a daily basis, the Toulouse Purple Club will benefit from comprehensive training with our official Tech Éric "cheveux" Spitzmuller, so that they in turn can pass on advice, information and tips.

WE GOT YOUR BACK! Well, we echo the sent...
