AnimGraph2 is a new, more optimised animation system implemented in certain Source 2 games. AnimGraph2 is intended to replace the older, less optimised AnimGraph system.

During the switch to AnimGraph2, certain animations have had their properties changed, resulting in strange or unusual interactions.

Ag2Dashing only works during set times in the match and is dash bucket dependent. The times listed below are until the hour; there may be additional time windows after.

Ag2Dash Timings based off dash buckets
Bucket 1st Time Window 2nd Time Window 3rd Time Window
Bucket 1 0:00–0:15 0:30–1:01 2:05–34:03
Bucket 2 0:00–0:05 2:05–17:01 34:03 onwards
Bucket 3 0:00–0:15 1:19–4:12 17:03 onwards

By dashing and then crouching on a ramp on the next tick, you can gain a large impulse of speed, with peaks of 1065 u/s. This speed quickly tapers off due to sliding friction.

During the laning phase, this can be a faster way of reaching troopers to deny or confirm them. Outside of the laning phase, this technique is extremely niche.
