Best Strategies For Protect the President or VIP

If you are tired of playing basic speedball or woodsball at AC Paintball in southern New Jersey, one alternative game you should try is Protect the President. This paintball game is also referred to as VIP to some. This is a great game to play if you have a person of honor such as a birthday boy, bride, or boss. Check out the explanation and tips below to learn more.

How To Play

In this game, a president is chosen. Players on the president’s team have to protect him or her while the other team, referred to as “terrorists,” try to hit the president. The president’s team is often smaller than the “terrorists” team to make the game challenging.

If the president’s team can keep the VIP safe for five minutes, then they win. On the other hand, if the “terrorists” are able to hit the president within the allotted time, then they win. Elimination works the same way as in normal paintball. However, you can change up any rules as you please.

Tips For President’s Team

If you are on the president’s team, you are in for a challenge. Be sure to take heed of these tips!

Make Sure You Have Plenty of Ammo

Before you even begin your AC Paintball game near Atlantic City, you want to make sure you are prepared. You are sure to use a lot of ammo trying to protect the VIP. Be sure to stock up. You may also want to consider becoming an AC Paintball club member to get a discount on paintballs.

Pay Close Attention To the President

In any paintball game, one of the most important aspects is that you pay attention. Losing focus can mean the difference between winning and losing. In a Protect the President game, it is crucial that you stay on guard and protect the VIP from your opponents. Otherwise, your team can quickly lose the game.

Keep Moving

If you stay in one spot too long, your opponents can surround you and quickly eliminate your teammates or even the president. This is why it is important to keep moving. Use the bunkers wisely, and keep your opponents chasing you. This is one of the best ways to ensure survival.

Know When to Use Rapid Shooting

Paintball isn’t just a physical game; it is largely a mental game as well. There are many important decisions you have to make. One of these is when to shoot. In an AC Paintball Protect the President game, it is important to know when to shoot rapidly and when to take your time. For instance, if you are under an ambush, shooting rapidly is your best defense. If you only have one person shooting at you, however, you will want to take more time to aim to ensure you hit your target.

Tips for “Terrorists”

Being on the “terrorists” team is extremely fun, and slightly easier than being on the president’s team. However, this doesn’t mean you can slack off. You still have to pay close attention to the game.

Have A Plan

The first step to being successful is to have a good plan. Make sure the rest of your team is in on the plan as well. If everyone is scrambling to do what they think is right, it can get messy quickly. On the other hand, if everyone knows where they are supposed to go and what they are supposed to do, you greatly improve your chances of winning your VIP AC Paintball game.

Try to Ambush the President

One good strategy to try is to form an ambush. Organize your team in a way that you can corner the President’s team. If you manage to do so, you can easily win your AC Paintball Protect the President game.

Always Watch for Openings

Just like the President’s team has to watch out for your team, your team needs to watch out for openings. You never know when a chance will open up for you to target the President. If and when this happens, you will want to take advantage of it.

Take Chances

You will also need to take a chance every not and then. The VIP team will be on alert most of the time. If you play it safe too often, you will likely get nowhere. Like Wayne Gretzky said, “You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.”
