EDITOR'S NOTE

This guide uses confirmed official information. Recommendations are practical starting points; live balance and availability should be checked in the game.

01

Confirmed traversal tools

Activision names Mantle Slide, Mantle Momentum, Mantle Steering, Supline Slide, Pipe Climb, Hand Shimmy and Climbing Jump. Sprint, slide, mantle and prone can be chained into routes.

02

A simple practice loop

Pick one map object, cross it three ways and note where your weapon becomes ready again. Repeat from both sides. This gives you a usable route rather than a trick that works only once.

03

Use movement to change the fight

A good reposition changes cover or sightline while preserving an exit. If a move puts you into a predictable landing spot, delay it or coordinate with a teammate.
