For those that are searching on how to get the upper hand on their fellow co-workers, family members, friends, or unsuspecting others, we have put together a few things for you that will make everyone want you to be on their team!
Paintball, airsoft and laser tag are all about communication. Teams that work together and talk with each other on the field tend to win more games. Working as a unit, you will find that eliminating the other team because much easier.
Being social off the field has huge benefits. It’s like the chairlift ride at a ski resort. Talking with other players and creating games is half the fun of these sports so have fun with it and get everyone to join in! It is still perfectly alright to want to play only with your group though. If you do, make sure to speak with your field supervisor. Who knows, you might meet a new friend!
Being sneaky can sometimes decide if you win or lose the game! Use the obstacles around you in creative ways to help gain a better advantage. Move around often because the easiest shots come from when they don’t know where you are at!
Before each paintball game starts the field supervisor will give each team a little time to talk and make a game plan. It’s always good to split up your team between people who lay down cover fire, and people move up quick. It is also a good idea to try to spread your whole team evenly across the field to be able to take advantage of all the possible shooting angles.
As the game progresses the other team will learn where most of your players are. Moving up can help you get a new angle on a player you couldn’t see before. It also acts in confusing the opposition. If you really have a good ear, sometimes you can notice that everyone on the other team is shooting at other players. If that ever happens seize the moment and make a move! Those that make moves win games.
Before the game starts, players who have played before start picking out which spot they will take cover in right away. You want to pick a spot on the field where you know you can get some good shots on the other team and help your teammates stay alive! Either way, make sure when you get to your bunker to stay tucked in tight. If you give them just an extra foot you’ll find yourself a little more painted up!
When you’re playing paintball, airsoft or laser tag don’t get too worried about getting eliminated. It is part of the games and trust us, it happens to everyone! If you want to try to make a crazy move and run up the field or take a harder bunker to get to, give it a try. Run fast, play hard and get your heart pumping. Just make sure your teammates have your back before you do! Over several games, players start to go to the same spots and fall into a routine of what they expect each game. Mixing it up with a different or wacky plan can actually catch your opponents off guard and help you get the upper hand!
