Hey there

I am pretty much a total newbie! Myself and a friend are playing our first scenario game next week so any help/advice/tips etc will be VERY welcome!

Aim the barrel away from you

Main tip is enjoy it man It's all about having some fun so don't stress about stuff.

If its scenario, try and latch onto a group of people who have done it before. They will know where to go, and what the general plan is. Nothing worse than just running around like headless chickens with no idea what is going on!

Don't panic about gear. Things tend to go wrong when its your first time, but there will be loads of people willing to help. In fact that's what some people love doing! So if your stuck for something or aren't sure about something just ask. Even if the first person you ask isn't helpfull or is a bit of an arse, there tend to be more helpfull people about than idiots. They where all new to this game once so most people are happy that the sport is growing and will help sort whatever it is that's wrong.

Don't forget rule number 1......... Enjoy it

Oh and if you enjoy a few scenario days, why not at some point try a tournament! You never know, you might just love it

LOL Jim Jam thanks

My worries are wearing mask for hours n steaming up and not being able to get my pots open! Thanks for the replies ))

If the mask steams up, for gods sake don't take it off. Give a marshal a shout. They'll help you out no problem. Oh and you can nip back to the safe zone whenever you want so don't worry about having to wear the mask for hours.

If you've got a half decent mask with a thermal lens and some decent padding neither things should be a problem anyway, and if you haven't then I'd advise that's the first thing you spend decent money on. Most important thing to me is my mask as you have it on all day.

My husband is Predator general but I don't want to keep bombarding him with questions! Have got some padding on order actually and if I get on ok maybe I'll ask Santa for a better mask - thanks so much

Seriously, enjoy it, thats all.

As stated-enjoy it
If you're the person to sit back and try and snipe that player from 100 feet away, do it, get into a spot where you can.
If you're the player who likes going balls-to-the-wall and bunkering every person in sight-then do that.
Regardless of your playing style, do what you feel comfortable doing and what you enjoy doing. I'm a tournament player so there's not a bigger adrenaline rush than getting your gun off that start gate and rolling the trigger and shooting that 1 guy off the break. Thats what i love to do.
So my advice is find out what you love to do (whether its paintball or anything) and do it.

*Edit* if you're looking into a new mask, try them on first-the worst thing you can do is buy a mask and you hate how it feels on your face. I personally love E-flex's and have been dying to get a pair for a long time
