Search & Destroy is an immersive, team-based game that combines strategic planning, tactical engagement, and teamwork. Here’s a comprehensive guide to the roles, responsibilities, victory conditions, and gameplay variants to keep the experience engaging and challenging.

Counter-terrorist team

• Objective:
  Locate and defuse bombs to prevent detonation.
• Tasks:

  1. Search the area to find the bomb(s).
  2. Retrieve defusal codes if required.
  3. Defuse and extract the bombs to secure victory.

• Strategic Focus:

  • Collaboration: Divide tasks such as searching, covering, and defusal.
  • Speed and Precision: Balance quick decision-making with tactical caution.

Terrorist team

• Objective:
  Plant bombs, defend them, and ensure detonation.
• Tasks:

  1. Choose strategic bomb locations.
  2. Arm the bombs and retreat to a defensible position.
  3. Defend the bomb area to prevent disarmament.

• Strategic Focus:

  • Deception: Use misdirection to delay the Military team’s discovery.
  • Strong Defense: Secure bomb sites with crossfire setups and defensive zones.

Game Time Limit:

• 15 – 20 minutes

Winning Condition:

1. Counter-terrorists Win:
   Successfully defuse all bombs before detonation.
2. Terrorists Win:
   Defend bomb locations until detonation or eliminate the Military team.
3. Draw Scenarios and Secondary Objectives:
   If the game risks a draw (e.g., both teams achieve partial objectives), introduce a sudden-death objective:

   • Example: Both teams race to secure and control a neutral zone or retrieve a key item.

Multiple Zones Variant

• Setup:
  The terrorist team establishes two or more bomb sites.
• Counter-terrorism Challenges:

  • Locate and prioritize bomb sites.
  • Retrieve defusal codes from specific areas or terrorist team members.

• Terrorist Strategy:

  • Diversify bomb locations to spread the Military team’s resources thin.
  • Assign defenders strategically to stall the Military team’s progress.

Tactical Variant

• Setup:
  No respawns for either team.
• Counter-terrorism Mechanics:

  • Search Terrorist “bodies” to retrieve defusal codes.
  • Codes are randomized and hidden on specific players or locations.

• Terrorist Mechanics:

  • Players must “fall dead” and cannot re-enter the game once hit.
  • Use positioning and terrain to protect code carriers.

• Dynamic Gameplay:

  • Forces both teams to adapt to losses in real time.
  • Encourages careful planning and conservation of resources.
