Details
This tutorial helps players fill paintball pods cleanly and consistently. Starting with a stable surface, players open the pod fully and pour paint in gently. Rather than dumping paint quickly, controlled pouring helps reduce impact damage.
After filling, players lightly tap the pod to settle paintballs and ensure no gaps. Overfilling should be avoided, as excessive pressure against the lid increases the chance of cracking paintballs before use.
Players then secure the lid firmly until they hear or feel it latch. Partially closed lids are a frequent cause of spills when running, so beginners practice checking the seal before loading pods into a harness.
Handling tips include avoiding dirt prone areas when placing pods on the ground and keeping pod lips clean to reduce debris entering the loader.
This tutorial supports clean, predictable loading habits that improve overall equipment performance.
