There are lots of different paintball tactics that a player can use.
Some work in a certain scenario while others are designed to work in a different one.
Each paintball tactic you learn can be added to your arsenal of tactics and pulled out and used when the timing is right.
In this article you will learn a paintball tactic that you can try out the next time a special situation arrives.
This paintball tactic is something I call the, "shoot, move, and wait" tactic.
The name is quite a straightforward name for it, and basically is what it's named.
This paintball tactic requires a situation when you find yourself near a group of opponents or one opponent.
If it is a group of opponents you come in contact with they should be close together, preferably grouped together behind a bunker.
If you have a semi-automatic or an electronic paintball marker, this paintball tactic will work better for you than if you have a pump.
If you are good with a pump though, and can dish out an effective stream of paint, you can employ this tactic too.
The first step is to shoot.
Shoot at their bunker where they have been popping out and keep them inside their bunker.
You want to make sure you have your opponent(s) in their bunkers before you move to the next step.
Once they are in their bunkers, don't stop shooting.
Run while you are shooting to a nearby bunker that will have a clear line of site to your opponent(s).
This bunker should give you a good angle and should be more towards either the left or the right of your opponent(s).
Once you are behind your new bunker stop shooting.
From here you should have the advantage.
The idea is to have kept them behind their bunkers and move without them seeing you, to a spot where you will have a good angle to eliminate them.
If you did it without them seeing or hearing you move, they should still think you are behind the last bunker you were at.
While you are behind your new bunker you have two options.
You can either finish this paintball tactic the sneaky way, or the direct way.
You can stay hidden until you hear them shoot at the last bunker you were at, and then sneakily pop out and eliminate them.
Or, you can go the direct route and instead of ducking behind your bunker, keep your gun aimed at their bunker, but don't shoot until they pop out to shoot at the last bunker you were at.
It's a great feeling to outsmart an opponent or group of opponents with this move.
The reaction you get as you surprise them and eliminate them is priceless!
