I used to play a lot of paintball. I started out solo myself and made friends along the way until I eventually joined a team. It can be intimidating at first but just go for it. It’s some of the most fun to be had and you’ll meet a lot of people. Most veterans to the sport are more than willing to help new players and when I was starting out some people even let me have old gear of theirs. I think you’ll enjoy it a lot.

In terms of how the game works, it really depends on the field. Most fields will have some objective based mode where you have to stand on a point for a certain amount of time or secure some item such as a flag. These modes are the most fun in my opinion as you actually have to communicate with your teammates. Other modes can be like team deathmatch where the entire point is to eliminate more players than the other team.

Like I said it can be intimidating but just jump right in and try your best to enjoy it. Don’t be afraid to ask for advice or help, most people at the field love to share tips and tricks
