Defensive Tactics in Paintball

By Ferry Suwantoro

The best tactis in paintball game and most of other sports is defensive tactis.  The team does its best to prevent the other team from scoring especially in a championship match. In paintball game, a team try to prevent the opposing force from capturing the flag.

Paintball games start with both sides having limited ammunition. The game can last for a very long time, that’s why  the team should make every shot count. The players should only fire when there is a clear shot rather than not being able to fire when it matters the most.

Should the opposing team see one of your team members, the others who have a better view should neutralize the opponent.

If in the opening minutes of the game, the team has lost half of its members, the best strategy is to fall back to the base and regroup. A perimeter should be set up to prevent the other team from outflanking the group while patrols can be sent out to search for the enemy.

If a scout has spotted the enemy, the person can take the opponent out. This plan could fail if any of the members of the opposing force escapes the attack and informs the others the location of your base.

The trick in catching the enemy off guard takes camouflage and concealment. Since the guns have a limited range, it is best to wait until the opposing force enters the “kill zone” before any shooting takes place.

When a firefight takes place, the player’s position has been revealed. Since the enemy will return fire, the person can still survive the enemy’s bullets by getting sufficient cover.

The player should inform the others before moving so that the others can give adequate cover.

It was needed teamwork for this game. By communicating between team well, the chance to flag the opponent will be higher and the winning is on your way.
