Details
This tutorial teaches players how to use hydration systems such as backpack bladders or bottle carriers while playing. Players start by rinsing and filling the reservoir with clean water, ensuring the cap and seals are tightened securely.
The pack should sit comfortably against the upper back with straps adjusted so the load does not bounce during running. Hose placement is tested to ensure it does not snag on pod straps or mask straps.
The guide explains hygiene basics: emptying the pack at the end of the day, rinsing with mild soap, and allowing the system to dry completely before storage to avoid odor or mold.
Hydration systems help maintain player comfort during long sessions or hot weather conditions.
