Movement

About

This page will help you understand how movement works in Squad.

Controls

You move with the usual keys W, A, S, D. Crouch with LCTRL. Go prone with Z. Jump/vault with Space. (This by jumping against a wall)

You can toggle crouching, leaning ADS and Freelook in the settings under "Game" and the Movement. (not under "Controls"!).

You can lean left and right by holding Q and E. You can use Freelook by holding down "key".

You can move in three different speeds:

  • When you just press W, S, A, D , you are running in normal speed;
  • When you also hold LSHIFT , you are sprinting;
  • When you hold LALT instead, you are walking slowly – this makes less noise to nearby enemies.

You can move in three different stances:

  • Standing (see above)
  • When you press Z you can crawl.
  • When you press Ctrl you can crouch.
  • In the game setting it is also possible to check the box for `double tapp for walking`, once this is activated it is possible for the player to double tapp the `w` key and the player will continue walking without having to pres another button.

Results?
