The art of movement in Apex Legends has long gone beyond the esports arenas. Slide jump, tap strafe and even the really difficult lurch strafe can be seen in the matches of ordinary players. Such tricks help you move faster and significantly increase your chances of survival.

Wall jump may initially frighten new players—it's not the simplest technique, and the execution is somewhat more complicated mechanically than in similar projects. However, if you persevere enough, you will be able to cover significant distances at high speed, open the way to advanced techniques and be able to look at the map in a new way. Once dangerous places will become a beautiful and fast route for you.
How to wall jump
In fact, this technique is quite simple to master. Find a suitable wall for training—it should be high enough and not too short. This one will do.

Over time, you will be able to bounce off lower walls and obstacles, but this is somewhat more difficult and requires precise execution of further actions. Look at the wall, run up, use slide and jump right away.

As soon as your character touches the wall, immediately jump a second time. It is important to do this as soon as the character's hands begin to appear on the edges of the screen, otherwise you will lose height and the jump will be smaller.

If you did everything right, the character will fly away from the wall backwards. Don't worry if you fail the first time—you need to practice these steps well mechanically to move on to a more difficult step.
Horizontal wall jump
Yes, the usual wall jump is not the most effective weapon in a fight with the pros. However, after mastering this technique, we can move on to the icing on the cake—the horizontal wall jump. To do it, you need to stand at an angle to the wall. Don't take big angles from the beginning, the more a new trick looks like an already learned one, the easier it will be to learn. The maximum angle for a jump is approximately about 70 degrees.

Long story short, you need to perform all the actions from the previous section. However, after slide (at the same time as jumping) you need to turn the camera so that the character looks exactly at the wall. As soon as the character jumps away from the wall, turn the camera quickly in the direction of movement.

Congratulations! Now you can study controlling your character in the air or move on to more complex wall-based challenges. However, remember that practice is the only way to achieve true mastery!
If you look closely at Apex Legends, you'll notice that it's not just a shooter, but a speed competition. Speed is evident in everything—how quickly you can find the necessary items, how soon you will notice the enemy, how long it will take you to take the best position. All these factors are necessary to win, and today you have become a little faster.
