Delta Force Paintball in Newcastle Has Reopened!
After months of downtime filled with more Netflix marathons than we’d like to admit, too many takeaway deliveries, and getting our paintball fix through the latest Call of Duty, we’re thrilled to announce that our Newcastle centre is officially open again!
On Sunday 17th October, we welcomed our first paintball enthusiasts back through the gates. After several months without the sound of markers firing or players storming the battlefield, it felt amazing to bring the action back to life.
We chose to begin with a soft relaunch and limited player numbers, giving us the opportunity to refine our systems, refresh our operations, and ensure everything was running with maximum smoothness and efficiency.
During our closure, we focused on improving and elevating key parts of the Delta Force experience:
• Staff have undergone updated training to enhance service, safety, and operational standards.
• Hand sanitiser stations are available at all key touch points throughout the centre.
• All equipment is thoroughly cleaned and maintained before, during, and after events.
• We have introduced allocated table seating and improved spacing for groups.
• Streamlined procedures are now in place for payments, equipment collection, and overall event flow.
• All paintball markers, door handles, and frequently touched surfaces are cleaned between every session.
• Our schedule now incorporates shorter, high-intensity sessions — giving players the same amount of thrilling action in a more efficient timeframe.
All these improvements (and more!) ensure we continue delivering the world-class Delta Force Paintball experience you know and love — now even more polished, efficient, and immersive.
To the guests who had bookings postponed during our downtime, thank you for your patience. We’re officially open, back in full swing, and ready to host your next event.
Our phone lines are open with adjusted hours — call 1300 769 223 or book online to secure your next mission!
One of the great things about paintball is that it’s just like playing a real life video game. Your success relies on strong teamwork and cohesion, and like any game, there are rules that paintball players need to follow. At Delta Force Paintball our rules are all in the interest of your safety, and the safety of our marshals. Here are three paintball rules you have to know!
Rule One: Wear your paintball mask at all times on the field!
On the game zones there are paint balls coming from all directions, and they can come fast! Because we want everyone to leave with the eyes they came with, this is a pretty important rule. Taking off your mask means you’re risking serious damage to your eyes, and we can’t have that!
Rule Two: 3 metre rule.
In the interest of everyone’s safety, we have a 3 metre rule that must be followed at all times. You can’t shoot someone if they are closer than three metres, there’s too much risk of injury from shooting at point blank range!
Rule Three: Headshots don’t count.
No one likes to go home with a headache, so it’s simple: Don’t shoot people in the head. The shot won’t count and you will have wasted your paintballs, and that’s something none of us want.
We like to keep things as simple as possible here, so there’s not really too much you need to know. On your day of paintball the marshals will explain these rules fully. Until then I’ll keep sharing some helpful hints, we like our paintball warriors to be fully prepared for battle!
