Dash

A short burst of speed from the ground, on maps and in areas built for it.

How it works#

• Press Dash while walking on the ground (not on a ladder, in water or hanging).
• A small hop (at least 160 ups up), so ground friction doesn't eat the push.
• Then a push along your keys (or the view direction with no keys), up to the map's dash speed over 0.12 s. Speed you already have above it is kept.
• Cooldown: 1 s. No stamina cost. You hear the jump sound.

Feel and skill#

• It's a start tool: getting up to speed from standing, out of a corner, after a ledge grab.
• At high speed it does little, because speed above the dash speed is kept as it is. It never replaces strafe jumping.
• Warsow's dash is the model: ground only, a fixed small boost, a short cooldown.

In maps#

• Dash on the whole map, or dash pads: floors that dash you when you press the key on them.
