Paint Strike

Paint Strike keeps the class-based structure of a competitive shooter but swaps lethal weapons for paint blasters, which lowers the visual stakes without lowering the tactical ones, positioning, cover, and weapon choice still decide fights the same way they would with real ammo.

Because paint splatter marks territory as much as it marks hits, controlling key sightlines by repeatedly covering them tends to deny an approach route to opponents even between direct engagements. Matching a blaster's spread and range to the arena's layout, wide-spread weapons for open spaces, tighter streams for corridors, matters more than picking whichever weapon looks flashiest. Blockpost runs a similarly blocky, class-based FPS format with lethal weapons instead of paint.
