Distances and speeds are displayed in-game by meters (m) and meters per second (m/s). As the game built on the Source 2 Engine, internal measurements are calculated by hammer units (hu), where 1 hammer unit can be approximated to 1 [[wikipedia:inch|inch]]. Therefore, 1 hu is roughly equal to and represents .0254 m.

The character is controlled using movement keys (by default: <code>W</code>, <code>A</code>, <code>S</code>, and <code>D</code>). Pressing the jump key (by default: <code>Space</code>) makes the character jump, and holding it near a ledge allows the character to mantle (by default: <code>Space</code>). The crouch key (default: <code>Ctrl</code>) causes the character to crouch or slide if they have enough speed  (8.9 m/s or 350 hu/s) or are on an inclined surface, such as stairs. Additionally, the dash key (default: <code>Shift</code>) enables the character to perform a [[Stamina|dash]] both on the ground and in the air. [[Heroes]] have differing move speeds and [[Stamina#Dash Speed|dash speeds]].
'''Note:''' Keys listed below assume QWERTY layout on an ANSI keyboard.

Sprinting will activate on its own, which occurs after a hero is out of combat for five seconds and persists until entering combat or zooming in. Zooming in while sprinting resets the player's speed back to base move speed. Most heroes can obtain sprint through items, but several start with it initially.

=== Sliding ===
While traveling fast enough, pressing crouch will cause the hero to slide. Moving down stairs or ramps will also initiate a slide. Sliding will preserve momentum, and gives the player infinite ammo during the duration of the slide.


=== Air Jump ===
=== Air Jump ===
Jumping while midair functions like a double jump, allowing the player to reach rooftops or get over tall walls. This consumes one stamina.
Jumping while midair functions like a double jump, allowing the player to reach rooftops or get over tall walls. This consumes one stamina. Against some walls, air jumping against the surface that is just too tall for a single jump will refund the stamina for the air jump.  
*At the start of each game, you are only permitted one Air Jump per jump. This can be expanded to two with the {{ItemType|Armor}} {{ItemIcon|Stamina Mastery}}.
[[File:Air_Jump.mp4|center|800px]]<center>'''Air Jumping'''</center>
 
=== Wall Jump ===
Pressing <code>Space</code> next to a wall will cause the character to perform a Wall Jump, which does not consume stamina. You can Wall Jump multiple times per jump, but each Wall Jump after the first one costs 0.5 [[stamina]] and incurs a fatigue that reduces the height of successive jumps. This fatigue recovers non-linearly{{Citation needed}} over the course of 1.25 seconds and recovers completely upon landing. Using a heavy melee while airborne will also incur fatigue.
[[File:Wall_Jump.mp4|center|800px]]<center>'''Wall Jumping'''</center>


=== Air Dash ===
=== Air Dash ===
Dashing midair can be done similarly to a grounded dash. A dash performed in the air is called an Air Dash, and consumes the same amount of stamina as a grounded dash. You can Air Dash only once per jump, but this limit can be expanded to two with the {{ItemType|Armor}} {{ItemIcon|Stamina Mastery}}.

=== Dash Jump ===
=== Dash Jump ===
A ''Dash jump'' is a fast long jump, which can be performed as an additive input during a dash during a set timing window and which costs 1 [[stamina]], for a total of 2 stamina. The timing of a ''dash jump'' is visualized by the stamina bars under your crosshair turning blue while ''dashing.'' While the crosshair is blue, the player can press jump to ''dash jump''.
After dashing, there is a short window where the player can execute a jump to perform a dash jump. This consumes two stamina bars but allows more directional movement and temporarily increases speed.
[[File:Dash_Jump.mp4|center|800px]]<center>'''Dash Jumping'''</center>


=== Down Dash ===
=== Down Dash ===
Double tapping crouch midair performs a down dash, allowing the player to return to the ground quickly. This consumes 0.5<ref>https://forums.playdeadlock.com/threads/12-29-2025-update.95233/#post-185824</ref> stamina. You can Down Dash only once per jump. This can be expanded to two with the {{ItemType|Armor}} {{ItemIcon|Stamina Mastery}}.

=== Mantle ===
=== Mantle ===
Mantling is the act of climbing a nearby ledge. If a player holds the crouch key (default: <code>Ctrl</code>) while mantling, they will slide after climbing up, which is called a Mantle Glide.
(is this important enough to get its own section)
 
If the player is hit by a [[Melee Attack|melee attack]] while mantling, they will get an 80% [[Movement Slow]], which will taper down to 20% over 2s.

As a physics based game, several principles in the real world are also modeled in-game. However, quirks with the game engine allow unique movement options that are not readily apparent.
As a physics based game, several principles in the real world are also modeled in-game. However, quirks with the game engine allow unique movement options that are not readily apparent.
=== Melee Jump ===
Melee jumping is the technique of using a heavy melee timed with a ''Wall Jump'' to go up without double jumping, thus saving a Stamina bar.[[File:Melee_Jump.mp4|center|800px]]<center>'''Melee Jumping and then ''Mantling'''''</center>
=== Corner Boost === 
''Corner boosting'' is a technique that exploits the game's wall jump mechanics to achieve greater vertical velocity than a standard wall jump. The effect is believed to occur due to the following implementation behavior:
*'''Velocity Reset on Wall Jump Initiation''' – When a wall jump is performed, the game first sets the character's velocity to a fixed absolute value.
*'''Collision Normal Calculation''' – The game determines the direction of the jump by using the normal vector of the character's collision capsule at the nearest point of contact with the wall.
*'''Upward-Angled Normals on Corners''' – Because the collision capsule is rounded, the normal vector near a corner can point diagonally upward or downward rather than purely sideways. When the normal is angled upward, the resulting velocity is applied at a steeper angle, leading to increased upward momentum.
==== Visual Comparison ====
*Normal Wall Jump – Final velocity is directed primarily sideways, following a standard wall jump.
*Corner Boost – Final velocity is angled higher due to the upward-tilting normal, resulting in a stronger ascent.

Same as ''Corner Boost'', ''Dropdown Corner Boost'' can be done on any edge in the game. To perform it, drop down from an edge and wall jump to gain extra height without using stamina.[[File:Dropdown_Corner_Boost.mp4|center|800px]]<center>'''Dropdown Corner Boosting'''</center>

=== Wall Jump ===
 
Pressing <code>Space</code> away from the wall will cause the character to perform a Wall Jump, which does not consume stamina.  
=== Dash Jump Cancel ===
Dash Jump Canceling is a technique that allows for Jumping immediately after a Dash without performing a Dash Jump. After performing a Dash for a short duration it is possible to spend 1 [[Stamina]] to perform a Dash Jump. Casting an ability during the Dash Jump window will immediately cancel it. This can then be followed up with a normal Jump. When done correctly a Dash Jump Cancel can be used to travel further than a Dash.
 
Only some abilities provide a benefit when used to Dash Jump Cancel. Abilities with long cast time or abilities that slow movement during cast provide almost no benefit.

== Trivia ==
Prior to the [[Update:April_17,_2025|April 17, 2025 update]], players could use [[Melee Attack#Heavy Melee Cancel|Heavy Melee Cancel]] to maintain momentum from a Heavy Melee attack. However, the update significantly reduced the momentum preservation, making the technique nearly ineffective for movement purposes.
