🚶 Movement Basics

Moving smart is just as important as shooting straight. Bad movement gets you spotted, shot, or stacked on top of teammates. Good movement keeps you alive — and dangerous.

This lesson covers how to move with purpose, stay spaced, and avoid making yourself an easy target.


🧍 Posture and Speed

Use the right stance for the right situation.

PostureSpeedVisibilityUse When…
StandingFastHighYou’re not in contact and speed is needed
CrouchedModerateMediumYou want to stay low and quiet
ProneVery SlowVery LowYou’re under threat or sneaking

Lower posture = harder to see or hit. But it’s slower — balance is key.


⏱️ Short Dashes

Move in 3–5 second sprints between cover:

  • Plan your next move before you go
  • Sprint, stop, and scan
  • Avoid straight lines — zig or change speed under fire

Never run just to run. Move with a destination and purpose.


🧠 Spacing = Survival

Too close? One grenade can kill two people.
Too far? You can’t support each other.

EnvironmentIdeal Spacing
Open Terrain7–10 meters
Forests / Urban3–5 meters
Indoors / CQB1–2 meters

Key habit: Always check the distance to the person ahead of you — you’re responsible for it.


🌲 Movement in Terrain

Open Ground

  • Move fast, stay low
  • Use prone or crouched if you’re under observation
  • Use smoke if there’s no natural cover

Forest / Vegetation

  • Move slowly to avoid noise
  • Use trees and bushes to break line of sight

Urban / Buildings

  • Hug walls and corners
  • Watch your angles — don’t block buddy lanes
  • Avoid bunching at doorways or windows
