Make sure to get helmet goggles that don't steam up at the slightest hint of moisture. You'll probably have to pay extra, but so be it.
Also make sure to not go against a bunch of off-duty army guys and their kids, like I had the misfortune to be massacred by during the one (and only) time I went paintballing, when I was 16 or so. Never again.

Dress in Tie Dye clothing. Preferably ones that look like it has lots of dots.
Pro: Your clothes is already splattered in rainbow. What is a few more paint splots? - You get to screw with the scores since you can claim "X" paint splot was there before you got shot. :3 Con: You stand out. Incredibly so. Stealth is a laughable idea. - Probably not terribly fashionable either. Also: DUAL WIELD! Seriously: Try to occupy locations which minimize the amount of targetable locations on your person.

Haven't been paintballing in forever, but let's see what I can do here...
1) Try and wear thick clothing! Getting hit sucks, everyone knows that. So try and minimize the damage. Unless of course you don't mind welts, but that's completely up to you. 2) When you go out to shoot, try and keep your profile small. Just stick out your gun and your head if you can. Smaller target = smaller chance of getting hit. And with the crappy guns you'll probably get as a rental, all the better! Common sense, yeah, but some people tend to forget while they're actually on the field. 3) As good as your aim can be, like I said the guns you'll end up renting may be pretty crappy. So just try and get a good idea of how your gun ends up shooting as soon as possible. If you can control your spread, you're better off than most. 4) Be willing to charge! Despite how annoying it can be while under fire, if you can manage to get to better cover you're one step closer to hitting something. The guns can only shoot so far after all. So if you can find it in you to sprint 20 feet or so, do it. Ok, that's all I've got for now. Like I said, it's been a loooooong time. But it really is mostly common sense and stuff you pick up while doing it. |

I only played Paintball once in my life, i wish i would play more and at the same time i hate it.
Me and a friend coordinated an assault, he took the front and i covered him, then he covered me as i ran towards him, people started shooting at us, which led to me plunging into the dirt floor ahead to escape into cover. Hitted both knees on the ground doing that. i only took a single hit the whole match, and it was between my legs, right at the corner of my crotch. I was not able to walk properly the next day and was covered in small bruises. Loved it. My main tip is to pay attention to your mask, Breathing in a poorly choose or placed mask can easily blur your vision rendering you completely useless. PS: It hurts like a motherfucker. |

oh wow that really depends. It's all about padding really. If i were to play it again now i would sure as hell put up a couple of Sweaters over a polo shirt, and even with that i'm pretty sure i would still have marks if i was shot...

Shoot for the groin and for the most part treat it like Bullestorm in terms of creativity.
