So you have an opponent trapped and you want paintball tactics to take him out? If you have a teammate and have good communication, pinching is an extremely effective method.
What you do is attack the bunker from both sides. One of you blasts the bunker, pinning the opponent down while the other teammate advances. Then your teammate pins the enemy down while you advance, and vice versa.
Eventually your opponent will have only two options:
1.) Get eliminated
2.) Run
Either way, your chances of taking him out have gone way up if you are able to pull this off.
What other paintball tactics have you used when you have an opponent trapped?
Trapping is not only for Canadian furhunters.. its one of the best paintball tactics too!
If you have another team member you can lay an effective trap for your enemy. It works against any number of enemies, but it is really important that one of you remains hidden. It obviously won't work if the enemy knows that both of you are there.
One of you hangs back and acts as a sniper. The other exploits the enemies excitement at seeing you.
You (the bait) head out away from the trap and fire some shots. Move around and make sure they know you are there, but don't be too obvious about it.
Slowly fall back (constantly moving of course) and lure the enemy into range of the sniper, who then opens fire. Now the enemy won't know what the heck is going on and you should be able to take out at least a few of them.
The key to this one is to a) keep the sniper hidden, and b) unload right when you have the enemy where you want them.
Have you had success trapping or using other similar paintball tactics? There are lots more here as well.
When its time to move, there are certain paintball tactics you should use to make sure you don't become an easy target.
Remember that the key is movement. However, I would say that it can't be movement for no good reason and it has to be done smartly.
Here are some tips for knowing when and how to go for it. There are also lots in Paintball Heroes:
-Check the situation. Is it time to go for it? Can I stay any longer?
-Know WHERE you are going to move before you do it. This is critical!
-Choose your next move so that it gives you the best cover with the best angles
-Its better to make a number of short runs than one long one. Try to keep under three seconds of running
-If you are under fire, learn the patterns of the people shooting at your bunker. You will probably notice a pattern for how many shots they take. When you learn that and they fire the last shot, go for it
-If your opponent does not know you are there, crawl. If they do know, RUN. If you crawl and they know you are there, you are just a slow moving target
-If running, run as fast as you can and then slide into the bunker baseball style
Any other paintball tactics for moving between bunkers? Any tips for when NOT to move?
There are lots of paintball tactics for stuff that happens during the game, but I'd like to talk about what to do before the game starts.
It is incredibly important to have a gameplan prior to the horn blowing. Here are some things you need to do:
-Plan who will be doing what: Flag-defenders, flankers, forward and back players.
-Any signals or special words for communicating?
-Walk the field: what position will you take first? Where do you think the enemy will likely go?
-Where will you likely go next and where could you possibly fall back to?
-Any ideal traps?
-Are there good/bad bunkers and what are likely scenarios that could happen at them?
-Make sure your hopper and ball carriers are topped up and you have enough air!
When the horn does finally go off, its time to run to the furthest one first and go from there. KNOW WHERE YOU AND YOUR TEAMMATES ARE GOING.
Any other before-the-game tips or pre-game paintball tactics that you have?
