Walked Field (Studied Field)
Overview
A walked field is a paintball field that players have physically inspected before gameplay, allowing them to study bunker geometry, angles, lanes, and movement routes.
Key Points
- Provides essential pre game analysis of bunker layout and geometry.
- Allows identification of primary and secondary attack routes.
- Reveals structural lanes, trap angles, and depth control points.
- Forms the basis for developing breakouts and coordinated plays.
- Critical for tournament preparation and professional level planning.
Details
Walking the field is a pre game inspection ritual where players study the field layout on foot. This process allows them to analyze bunker shapes, distances, angles, and firing lanes critical information for creating strategies and assigning positions.
During a field walk, teams identify: Safe breakout routes Risky or exposed movement corridors Power positions and zone control nodes Trap angles and structural lanes Snake lines, Dorito attack paths, and center routes
Players simulate potential gunfights, check wrap angles, and rehearse bumps to understand timing windows. Walking the field is essential for understanding how the geometry supports or restricts movement and where major battles are likely to occur.
A properly walked field is one of the strongest advantages a team can possess unwalked fields result in predictable eliminations and inefficient strategy.
