The CS2 rocks. We all know this and it continues to do so, but we've made a few changes that make the CS2 even better. First, we've updated the Firmware on BOTH boards. This means that your CS2 (once you've updated it) will be able to connect to our new E-Portal Lite App (available NOW in the App Store), so you can customise your marker settings from your iPhone. Cool right? Secondly, the Firmware update reconfigures your Bluetooth module so that it will connect to the latest Virtue Spire IV iFI Technology™ which is great news for all CS2 and Spire IV owners. Simply follow these steps to make the most of your CS2 + SpireIV partnership. 1: Update BOTH CS2 boards to the latest 1.50 Firmware using E-Portal 4 . 2: Do a Factory Reset of your CS2 via your LCD screen to reconfigure your Bluetooth module. 3: Enable Bluetooth on your CS2. 4: With your CS2 ON, hold down the bottom button on your Spire IV. 5: Power up the Spire IV. 6: When the light turns green, release the bottom bu...

After a kick ass start to their 2020 campaign in D1, Stoke Quest were coming in to Round 2 as the in-form team with one goal. Victory and promotion to the Elite Division for 2021.

Our teams are awesome. Simple as that. We sign them up for the long haul and we sign them up for many, many different reasons and we like to keep them in the family for as long as we can. We have teams who consistently dominate the rankings. Teams that players can relate to on various levels. Teams with exciting rosters. Teams who have a loyal following regardless of results. All teams are very, very different but we love them all equally. But every now and then a team goes about their business in a way that makes you stop and think. Infamous are such a team. They're the team that people love... that people hate... the team people love to hate and also hate to love. Whichever way you slice it, Infamous are awesome. They ignite paintball passion within fans and opponents alike and because of this they're a gift to have in your stable. In the modern era results are only one piece of the puzzle. Likability, or even hate-ability – is that even a word? – is equally a...

Every now and again Ledz appears from his office with some crazy idea. More often than not we all smile, nod our heads and let him go back into his office and the idea is forgotten about. Until now. He just doesn't want to let this one go, so it looks like it’s happening. But before we get into specifics, here's a little background on how Ledz was 'inspired' to do this project. At the Paintball Extravaganza event in early 2017 Planet Eclipse launched the ETHA2, and also unveiled a prototype EMC Tactical body kit. The simplicity of the new EMC kit and the sheer adaptability of it (lots and lots of places to bolt stuff on to) seemed to have added fuel to Ledz’s flame, thus creating an incredible explosion of genius (in Ledz's mind) and he went ahead and commissioned an artist to make a pretty special ETHA2. In all honestly, we quite like the idea, so we decided to let him have a blog series to follow its progress. It's the sort of project that we t...

Over the past 3 years Planet Eclipse and Liberty University have worked together to help support their school and grow college paintball.  Liberty University has been a huge supporter of Planet Eclipse and we appreciate everything they have done for us. They are one of the very few colleges to have their own on field  on school property built by the college. We are excited that we have had the opportunity to work with the school and the players, to give them the support that they need to be one of the leading NCPA teams.  Planet Eclipse and Liberty University just released a custom LU Geo3 for the team to use in the 2013 season, they are the first college team to get their own custom gun to use. "We are very excited to be the first NCPA team to have a custom gun from Planet Eclipse.  We thank them for their continued support of our team and we look forward to winning a National Championship with these amazing guns." Said Todd Hoglund, Liberty Universi...
