Bhop & Strafe Jumping
Chain jumps and maintain momentum with advanced movement.
Video Tutorial
Mechanic Overview
What is Bhop & Strafe Jumping?
Bunny hopping (bhop) and strafe jumping are advanced movement techniques that allow you to maintain or gain speed by chaining jumps with synchronized mouse and key movements.
Why It's Important
These techniques allow faster map traversal, unexpected angles, and can make you harder to hit. While heavily limited in competitive CS2, understanding the mechanics helps with general movement.
When to Use
Primarily useful for faster rotations, creative angles in retakes, and movement in practice/surf maps. Limited effectiveness in competitive matches due to speed caps.
Step-by-Step Guide
Step-by-Step Guide
Bind jump to mouse wheel down: bind mwheeldown +jump
Gain initial speed with W, then release W completely
Use only A/D keys while in the air, never W
Synchronize mouse movement with strafe keys (A + mouse left, D + mouse right)
Land and immediately jump again using scroll wheel
Pro Tips
Start practicing on bhop/surf community servers
Focus on smooth, consistent mouse movements
Learn to pre-speed before attempting chains
Practice on slopes and ramps for better results
Master regular strafe jumping before attempting bhops
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Using W key while air-strafing (kills momentum)
Moving mouse too fast or too slow
Not synchronizing mouse movement with strafe keys
Looking down too much while jumping
Trying to bhop on flat surfaces (works better on slopes)
Practice Methods
Warmup Drills
Practice air strafing without jumping first
