Warzone movement guide: how to move well

With equal weapons, movement makes the difference. Here are the fundamentals to be harder to hit and survive longer.

Tactical sprint vs walk: manage your sound

• Tactical sprint is fastest… but loud, and it leaves a fraction of a second before you can fire.
• Near enemies, switch to walking: you're silent and ready to fire instantly. (Pair this with good audio settings to hear them first.)

Slide & dive: break aim and reposition

• The slide moves you fast, breaks the enemy's line of sight and gets you to cover.
• The dive is for crossing that last meter to safety or dodging a grenade.
• Use them to enter/exit a duel, not on loop in the open.

Plate smartly

Re-applying your armor (plates) slows you and leaves you vulnerable. Rule: plate in cover, never in the open. Plan ahead, reload plates before engaging, not mid-fight.

Move in duels

• Strafe (left-right) constantly: it's harder to aim at a target that keeps changing direction.
• Jump or slide around angles to surprise.
• Switch cover after each kill (reposition) so a third party doesn't catch you.

Mantle and redeploy

• The mantle lets you vault walls and windows, handy for cutting corners and surprising.
• On redeploy, steer your parachute toward a roof or cover rather than open ground.

FAQ

How do you become harder to hit?

Never stay static: strafe, jump around angles, slide to break aim and switch cover. Unpredictable movement cuts the damage you take.

Should you always sprint?

No: tactical sprint is loud and delays your shot. Near enemies, walk to stay silent and ready to fire.
