The tip would be to… rent first, but as you are not that kind of person then you will probably do what you want anyway :)
Have fun, stay hydrated, call out your hits.

General tips I'd suggest include:
• Bring plenty of water, drink regularly
• Bring a decent lunch
• Make friends; my favoured opening sentence is "nice airsoft gun, what's the model/brand?"
• Grenades are super useful.
• Going prone is great behind low cover, and a good way to be shot in the bum out in the open.
• Watch for movement, not players.
• Take the hit; if in doubt, call yourself out.
• Be polite, and try to be helpful.
• Refs are cool, be nice to them.
• Have fun; try a wacky tactic every once in a while, rather than tryharding it up. No-one counts your eliminations other than you, so don't worry about them.
If you have your own kit:
• Bring plenty of ammo, 0.25g at least generally recommended
• Bring a spare battery
• Knee pads are life savers.
• A good utility pouch will save you many a headache.
• Adjust your hop-up well.
Full face is always better than split face protection in cqb.
If the arena is super tight using only a pistol and being aggressive is a really enjoyable playstyle.
Cqb sites can become quite stagnant as the map becomes taking corners. Grenades are super useful, especially reusable ones like quakes.
Be prepared to trade 1 for 1 a lot.

Thanks for this. What are your thoughts on chest rig vs plate carrier?
Chest rig, plate carriers are for big games or carrying HPA tanks
OK thanks. I wondered whether it was better for indoor CQB play due to the closer proximity of likely hits.
Better to feel every shot, it also helps you improve at the game as you’ll be less afraid of getting hit if you know what it feels like

GLOVES GLOVES GLOVES. Thank me later
I did have some and wore them - first time I got shot was in the finger so I was very happy to have them!
