The concept of paintball is simple, but allows for endless variations in gameplay. Different games have unique rules and sometimes have equipment limitations. It is always best to ask about the game before starting so that you will be able to formulate a basic strategy.
The following are some common variations and basic tips on how to survive them. This variation off free-for-all may prove both fun and challenging for beginners. The rules are simple: You have only one target and only one other player has you or a target. The trick is that nobody knows the target any other player has been assigned.
To survive this game, treat every other player as hostile. When your target player has been eliminated, you will receive their target card. Be wary and focus your efforts upon finding the target you have been assigned as quickly as possible. The game ends when there is only one player remaining, although the win generally goes to whomever has the most cards in their possession, not the survivor. Thus it is not in your best interest to remain concealed until most players have been eliminated. The flags are in a known location and cannot be hidden to prevent cheating.
Rules variations allow for multiple lives in which you must return to the starting point before rejoining the battle , and your team leader will usually separate the team into squads. Pay attention to your squad leader and the overall game plan for the best chance of victory.

They say that a bad workman always blames his tools and while it is true that the most important thing of a piece of gear is the individual using them, having the best gear can give you that competitive edge. At the very least every member of the team should have the basic safety equipment and enough paintballs to last them the entire match.
As time passes you can gauge how well your team is doing and how invested they are in the sport. As things progress naturally they can invest in better gear piece by piece to avoid large upfront expenses. After training with your team for a while you will soon discover what traits each member has. Speed is something that will stand out pretty quickly. Runners are extremely powerful in objective based games like capture the flag. Sneaking down the side of the arena is one of the best moves you can use.
But if you walk casually across the arena keeping your hands down so not to be cheating , then you might actually be mistaken for someone who is out when you are glanced. You can then use that moment of indecision to your advantage! One of the best tactics is to offer to cover fire rushing.
Simply spray paint pellets toward an opponent so that they have no option but to take cover. That then buys a reprieve for a teammate to make a move toward the flag, the VIP or a stronger position. For this reason, it is often a good idea to team up and face in opposite directions: especially if two of you are protecting a flag or strategically valuable ground.
Between you, you can ensure there are nearly zero blind spots. Avoid splintering off and instead form smaller cells. Work as a team and make the logical decision, not the emotional one. All of the above requires communication. Do you have any idea what Gain, Control and Anchor mean? Or, are you a new player just trying to figure out the basics of the game?
