Quick Answer
Pepperball supports doorway and large-room pressure, but another player must enter and secure contacts.
Practical Steps
| Step | Action | Standard |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Name the problem first: pepperball | Do not negotiate roles mid-raid |
| 2 | Confirm gear, commands, and fallback route before entry | Every player owns a door, angle, restraint, or evidence job |
| 3 | Control resistance before pushing deeper | Do not chase through unknown doors or unknown civilians |
| 4 | Restrain, report, and bag evidence immediately after clearing | Score losses often come from cleanup gaps |
| 5 | Recheck the same route before ending | Confirm no weapons, civilians, or objective items are missed |
Checklist
- Decide whether this raid needs less-lethal control instead of all rifles.
- Assign doors, stairs, long lanes, and small rooms before entry.
- Confirm threat action before every shot.
- Report every contact to TOC after restraint or incapacitation.
- Bag dropped weapons and objective evidence before leaving the sector.
Common Mistakes
| Mistake | Better approach |
|---|---|
| Treating pepperball as one keybind or one gear pick | Start with team roles, map space, and scoring goal |
| Relaxing after the first room | Handle wedges, evidence, and secondary search immediately |
| Changing weapons after every failure | Review entry order, fire lanes, and cleanup first |
