Group Fire

Group fire occurs when multiple players intentionally apply overlapping gunfire to a shared target or zone. This tactic increases the pressure exerted on opponents, drastically reducing their freedom of movement and reaction time.

The primary benefits of group fire include: - Enhanced suppression – Opponents cannot counter multiple simultaneous angles. - Lane dominance – Two guns on a lane make bumping through it extremely high-risk. - Breakout impact – Group-firing key routes off the break can eliminate runners. - Support for pushes – Front players rely on coordinated group fire to cross into dangerous zones.

Teams coordinate group fire through structured communication grids, pre-call plans, or situational cues. Even minor timing mismatches such as one player reloading at the wrong moment can weaken the effect.

Elite teams execute layered group fire, where each player covers different edges of the same bunker or zone, creating overlapping but non-redundant denial patterns. This method traps opponents, forces head checks, and opens opportunities for bunker runs, wraps, or deep fills.

Group fire is especially decisive on fields with strong center structures, where multiple angles must be controlled simultaneously to prevent collapses.
