Mechanic Overview
What is Jiggle Peeking?
Jiggle peeking is a movement technique where you quickly expose yourself around a corner for a brief moment to gather information about enemy positions without committing to a fight.
Why It's Important
Information is crucial in CS2. Jiggle peeking allows you to safely gather intel about enemy positions, rotations, and setups without taking significant damage or committing to unfavorable duels.
When to Use
Use when you need information about enemy positions, when checking if a site is clear, during save rounds, or when you suspect an AWPer is holding an angle.
