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]].

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.

=== Wall Jump ===
=== 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 over the course of 1.25 seconds and recovers completely upon landing. Using a light or heavy melee while airborne will also incur fatigue.

A ''Dash jump'' is a fast long jump, which can be performed during a dash and costs 1 [[Stamina]], for a total of 2 including the Stamina spent ''dashing''. The timing of a ''dash jump'' is visualized by the crosshair turning blue while ''dashing.'' While the crosshair is blue, the player can press jump to ''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.
