Details
Terrain cover includes natural or semi natural objects found in outdoor paintball fields, such as tree trunks, bushes, mounds, rocks, buildings, or old structures. Unlike inflatable bunkers, terrain cover has irregular shapes and requires constant awareness to use safely.
Players use terrain cover to: Stay hidden from opponents. Break lines of sight. Create ambush positions. Advance quietly through wooded environments.
Because terrain cover varies by field, players must adapt quickly. Hills and ridges influence shooting angles, while bushes and foliage offer concealment but not full protection.
Terrain awareness is crucial in woodsball and scenario play, where engagements often occur at longer ranges and from unpredictable angles.
