Movement Techniques & Advanced Mobility

In Redliner, movement is the biggest factor that separates beginners from experts. This guide covers all movement mechanics.

Basic Movement

Slide Cancel

The fundamental movement technique:

  1. Press crouch to start sliding
  2. Immediately press jump as the slide begins
  3. You'll cancel the slide animation while maintaining momentum

How to practice: Practice repeatedly in an open area until you can execute it smoothly in sequence.

Bunny Hop

Chain jumps with air strafing to build speed:

  1. After jumping, press A or D to strafe in the air
  2. Jump again the instant you land
  3. Maintain the rhythm to gradually accumulate speed

Key point: The timing window is tight and requires lots of practice.

Advanced Techniques

Wall Bounce

  1. Jump toward a wall
  2. Press jump the instant you make contact
  3. You'll bounce off the wall, gaining extra vertical and horizontal displacement

Uses:

  • β–ΈUnexpected vertical movement
  • β–ΈReaching positions normal jumps can't
  • β–ΈFast flanking routes

Dash Jump

A character-specific technique:

  1. Use your character's dash ability
  2. Jump at the end of the dash
  3. The dash momentum carries into the jump

Best characters: Viper (Venom Dash) and Phantom (Shadow Step) benefit most.

Combat Application

  • β–ΈDuring gunfights: Use slide cancels to change direction and make yourself harder to hit
  • β–ΈWhen chasing: Bunny hop to maintain high speed movement
  • β–ΈWhen retreating: Wall bounce to high ground to escape
  • β–ΈWhen flanking: Combine multiple movement techs to reach unexpected positions
