GENERAL TIPS

• prior to combat situations, practice aiming and soaking while moving. A moving target is much more difficult to hit than one standing still. However, it is also harder to properly target while moving. The best way to overcome the movement problem is through practice.
• know your water blaster. Every water blaster has its own unique personality, even if it is the same model type as another person's. Know your own blasters that you use so that you have an intuitive sense of how they perform under different combat situations.
• know your water level. One cannot attack if one is out of water. When running low, it is a good idea to look for a filling station before being caught defenseless.
• look for cover. Surprise attacks can allow one to readily drench one or a few foes before they have a chance to return fire.
• carry a sidearm (if possible). Just in case one runs out of ammo and there are still enemies between one's location and a safe filling station.
• know the surroundings. It helps to know the battlefield a bit before engaging the enemy. If this is not possible, do scouting runs before any serious engagement with hostile forces.
• firing at a 45 degree angle. Firing at a 45-degree angle upwards gives the most distance but not always the most accuracy (especially if its windy).
