Lunge Jumping - How to freaking move

A lunge jump is performed by lunging off of a higher platform over a gap to another platform. It is an incredible way to get from one place to another, and is especially beneficial for:

*Running from enemies who can't get across the gap as quickly
*Getting to enemies backsides for an assassination without having to use a noisy cloak or smoke bomb.
*Skipping oncoming enemies so that you can kill oncoming bots behind them or turrents.

One of the more boring maps as far as Lunge Jumping goes. But if you get up on the glass, you can lunge jump to almost anywhere on the map from different high spots on the glass around the annhialator, the sides of the bases, and the spawn rings themselves.

Steel Peel
1)The Outer Ring That the jump pad in your base takes you to. You can lunge from the higher parts of that to the middle ring. You can also lunge from that spot right onto the side of your spawn ring. This one takes a little practice, but lunging into your spawn ring while bieng chased can help a lot. Also, being able to instantly jump to your opponent's spawn ring can prove useful, both for kill farming and for objective play because you can instantly drop in unexpectedly on turrets, bots, and pros.

2) On the outer ring on the left side where it forms a mini-ring int he middle (near the ejector), if you face the enemy team's side, you'll see a wall that curves right around into their base. If you smoke bomb, you can walk on this wall. Usually, you'll get stuck on it about 1/4 of the way there. Jump up and down to fix that, or try backing upa nd moving foward again. From this wall, you can aim a lunge and land right next to their innermost turrent. This is great for taking out rocket turrets when the enemy team is good at stopping juice rushing because you'll get the drop on them. I use my juice as I'm falling down into the rocket. It's also good for taking out camping snipers. They never see this coming. Just lunge in, then walk up behind them, uncloaked, and assassinate.

3) Once again, going up on glass anywhere allows you to lunge a very far radius. Getting up on the middle glass allows you to lunge pretty much anywhere on the middle map, depending on what part of the glass you lunge from. However, pretty much everybody int he game will see where you lunge, so use that as an escape plan (smoke bomb on top of it and instantly lunge away back towards your base).

Ammo Mule
Ammo Mule's most important lunge jump is from the bridge right in front of the dome to the top of the dome ramp. When somebody is chasing you, this is your best getaway point because in order for them to continue hitting you, they have to go around and into the dome, or jump off of the bridge into bots and an ejector zone, and then go up the ramp. Other than that, you can get to any ground spot that bots cover from the dome, but the top of the dome isn't somewhere you should be spending a lot of time as an assassin. Once again, just bomb up there for a quick escape lunge when you have to.

Grenade III
Your lunge jumps here are all going to be to the middle platform. You can lunge from any spot on the top, inner platforms to the middle. Also, instead of buying a jump pad to the middle, you can actually lunge from a jump pad spot to the middle, as well. This is important because in order to cover both bot lanes, you've gotta be able to cross over that middle.

Spunky Cola
This one is fun, and probably has the most lunge jumps in the game. I'm positive that I don't have anywhere near all of them, but my favorite ones are

1) On the top class/wall on the platform area connecting the two bases. You can cover a lot of map ground by lunging off of those.
2) Various platforms to the columns to a spawn ring. This one isn't that exciting because you can actually jump on those to get there anyway.

Spunky is a crazy map. I know I lunge jump a lot, but I can't recall all of the stuff I do there. Next time I play it I'll pay more attention to where I'm using them and update this thread.


The main purpose of this thread is to emphasize this point - use lunge to escape. Use lunge to get around. Use lunge for everything...not just damage. The best assassins aren't the best fighers...the're the best runners. Anybody can slice up bots. That's as easy as holding the right trigger and jumping. But can you kill a wave of bots when a gunner is puppy-dogging them? Anybody can assassinate somebody. In fact, as of right now, you can get assassinated out of midair...even if you are bunny hopping like you should be. But can you assassinate somebody and live to tell the tale?

Try to come up with your own lunge jumps. If I'm missing anything significant (and I'm sure I am), please share here. I'll be happy to update the thread and give you credit for the jump.

worth mentioning that lunging from the front of your spawn ring to the middle of the map will more than likely end with you killing yourself

This guy is pro cancer for children. Don't listen to what he has to say.

Despite his questionable morals, the information is still valid. Lunging off the spawn ring in G3 will most likely result in your death.

It actually wont if you back up against the glass. The distance from lunging from the glass across the sniper platform and then falling to the center, you will land right on the platform under the enemy teams base and smoke bomb up nooooo problem Trust me, im a Saint

The only way you get to be a saint is by dieing. Often horribly
