Reducing Player Friction - Moving Quickly!

This is not a b-hop guide, no scrolling your mouse wheel. All you need is your CTRL key and a little air strafe.

Crouching Suppresses Friction. Strafing Increases Velocity.
Default sprint speed is 320, the goal is to surpass 320 whenever possible. Let me show you how;

THE ANCIENT ART OF 'ICE SKATING'

With the developer console enable 'cl_showpos 1'




^It will appear on top right corner, and look like this^
Its an optional step, but it will show you your velocity. To disable type 'cl_showpos 0'


When strafing into a turn (while crouching) your velocity will INCREASE



You can still maintain your momentum even going UP slopes!(But its difficult)

I'm hitting well over 400 world units a second in this big open parking lot(and even reached 500 units for a moment)! idk why this is so satisfying lol

The long jump is insane. As you can see, based on crouching and not crouching when i land i get a lot more distance, while never losing my momentum!(Until I press 'S' to slow myself)

NOT CROUCHING


CROUCHING


For anyone wondering, this is the mod pack im using which makes my weapons look different

Especially make use of this glitch in the border-world. The long jump will allow you to ceaselessly skate across the world at over 500 units a second.

@MaxiTaxi turn on always run in the settings. it should be default in my opinion. the game plays beautifully with always run enabled
