Super gliding is the technique of using the top of a wall climb to launch the player forward. Doing so redirects a player's momentum away from the wall while also boosting the vertical height of the jump, allowing a player to quickly jump over obstacles and mix up enemies. Wall bouncing, or wall jumping, is the technique of slide hopping into a wall, then tapping the jump button to wall climb for the briefest possible duration. For balance reasons, this does not work with some actions, such as using regen items or aiming Seer's Heart Seeker. Because deceleration when moving is based on friction, staying airborne and minimizing contact with the ground allows a player to maintain their horizontal speed. Players can equip Skydive Emotes and Skydive Trails for use while skydiving.īunny hopping (sometimes referred to as b-hopping) is the technique of conserving momentum with rapid, small jumps. This same position is used when being lifted from updrafts on World's Edge. The skydive ends once the player makes contact with any solid surface. Once the player comes within ~30 meters of the ground, they will assume a landing position and lose horizontal mobility. Players' speed is determined by the angle of their descent, with the maximum of 150 (25.1 meters/second) achieved when aiming downward at an angle of less than ~15°. While skydiving, players have two meters added to their HUD, one indicating speed on a scale of 0-150, and one indicating altitude in meters with the height of the ground beneath them marked. When skydiving as a group, one member of the squad is assigned to be the Jumpmaster, in which case both squadmates will automatically follow, but can break off if needed. It is activated at the start of every Battle Royale match, when a player uses a Jump Tower, Geyser, or Skydive Launcher, or when using Valkyrie's ultimate, Skyward Dive. Skydiving is a form of movement used to give legends more precise mobility when falling from great heights. While climbing, players have the freedom to move left or right without disconnecting from the wall. Players can climb any vertical surface in the game for about 6 meters if they reach a ledge, they will mantle it, but if not, they will simply fall back down. Holding the jump button while facing a wall allows the player to climb it. Jumping out of a slide allows players to conserve momentum for longer than jumping out of a sprint.Īpex Legends Review - A New Battle Royale Titan

On a flat surface, a sprinting player can slide for about a second before deceleration kicks in, but on a downward slope this can take much longer and even turn into acceleration at steep angles.

The speed and duration of the slide is determined by the slope beneath the player and the speed the player was moving when the slide began. There is no fall damage in Apex Legends, but falling from a great height will cause landing shock, drastically slowing the player's movement speed for a brief moment after hitting the ground.Ĭrouching while moving quickly will cause the player to slide. Holding a weapon will reduce movement speed by 13%, and using a regen item reduces movement speed by 40% and prevents sprinting. These speeds may be influenced by the slope of the terrain being traversed. While sprinting, speed increases to 5.7 m/s, and crouchwalking reduces speed to 1.75 m/s. All legends have a base walking speed of 3.8 meters per second.
