Details
This tutorial teaches players how to dry equipment correctly after gameplay. Pads and clothing are laid out in a well ventilated space, avoiding direct heat sources that weaken adhesives or foam.
Masks are dried by blotting foam gently and allowing the mask to sit in open air. Loader shells are wiped clean and dried with the lid open to prevent moisture buildup in the feed area.
Footwear is dried with insoles removed and placed in a ventilated area. Players avoid placing shoes near heaters, which may warp materials or reduce cushioning.
Maintaining a consistent drying workflow reduces odors and extends the life of all gear components.
