This guide moves beyond the basics. We will teach you how to chain advanced techniques slides, dives, mantling, and jumps to become a target that is impossible to track. By mastering these mechanics, you will win more gunfights by controlling engagement timing and breaking your enemy's camera.
The Foundation: Best Movement Settings
Before you can execute
advanced moves, you need the right settings. A responsive controller or mouse
setup is the difference between a smooth chain of moves and a clunky death.
For Black Ops 6
(Omnimovement Focus)
- Sprint Assist: On. This forces your character to
sprint automatically whenever you move, maintaining momentum for slides
and dives .
- Slide/Dive Behavior: Hybrid or Tap to Slide.
"Hybrid" allows you to tap to slide and hold to dive, giving you
maximum control .
- Slide Maintains Sprint: On. This ensures you keep sprinting
after a slide, which is vital for slide canceling .
- Automatic Airborne Mantle: Off. You want manual control to
avoid being pulled out of a jump or dive by an unwanted mantle .
For Black Ops 7
(Wall Jump Optimization)
- Mantle Assist: Off. BO7 introduces wall jumps, and
you need full manual control to avoid auto-mantling when you intend to
jump off a wall .
- Wall Jump Activation: Press. This gives you precise
control over when you bounce off a wall, rather than it happening
automatically .
- Sprint Assist: Tactical Sprint Assist. This provides a balance of speed and control to set up your advanced maneuvers .
Core Advanced Techniques
These are the
essential mechanics you need to drill into muscle memory.
The Slide Cancel
Why it matters: It resets your tactical sprint and allows
you to keep your momentum without being locked into the full slide
animation . This makes you a faster, harder-to-hit target.
How to execute:
- Sprint (or Tactical Sprint) forward.
- Press the Crouch/Slide button
to initiate a slide.
- Immediately press the Jump button
to cancel the slide animation .
- Press Sprint again
immediately to maintain top speed .
Pro Tip: You can slide cancel around corners to
appear low to the ground with your gun already aiming, giving you the
"peeker's advantage" over a standing enemy .
Slide to Prone (The
"Fall")
Why it matters: This is a new feature in BO6 that lets
you transition directly from a slide into a prone position. It is incredibly
effective for breaking an enemy's aim when they expect you to pop up
standing .
How to execute:
- While sliding, simply hold the
crouch/slide input. Instead of ending the slide in a crouch, your
character will go prone at the end of the slide .
Input Buffering
Why it matters: This allows you to queue actions to
happen the moment you land, creating seamless transitions that confuse
opponents .
How to execute:
- While in the air (from a jump or
dive), hold the crouch/slide button. As soon as your
character hits the ground, they will instantly perform a slide in the
direction of your momentum. This is perfect for sprinting toward a corner,
jumping, and sliding around it in one fluid motion .
Combat-Specific Movement (Winning Fights)
These techniques are
designed to be used mid-gunfight to give you a statistical advantage.
Strafing
Why it matters: Simple left-right movement while shooting
reduces your hitbox exposure and makes you harder to hit .
Execution Tips:
- Don't move too quickly or robotically.
Allow room for each side movement.
- You must manually adjust your aim to stay
locked on the target as you strafe .
The Wide Challenge
Jump Shot
Why it matters: When you know an enemy is around a
corner, this technique allows you to "break their camera." The game's
netcode shows you on their screen a split second later than you see them .
How to execute:
- Ensure you are in a Tactical
Sprint for maximum jump distance.
- Jump around the corner,
aiming mid-air.
- Do not aim too early, or you will lose
momentum .
The Reverse Jump
Shot (Backsliding)
Why it matters: This is a high-level disengage tool. It
allows you to retreat to safety while keeping your eyes (and gun) on the enemy.
How to execute:
- When you spot an enemy, instead of pushing
forward, immediately reverse your momentum and jump backward behind
cover .
- Because of Omnimovement, you
can also slide backward while firing to create
space .
Snaking
Why it matters: This advanced technique involves
repeatedly going prone and popping up behind low cover, making it nearly
impossible for enemies to hit you while you take precise shots .
How to execute:
- Stand behind low cover.
- Move backward slightly while going prone.
- Immediately sprint forward as you rise.
- Repeat the cycle, adding slight rotational movement to avoid popping up in the same spot .
Black Ops 7 Specific: Mastering Wall Jumps
Black Ops 7 builds on Omnimovement by adding wall
jumps . This adds a vertical layer to your evasion tactics.
The Chain Combo:
- String together wall jumps, slides, and
strafes. Jump toward
a wall, press jump again to bounce off, and immediately chain that
momentum into a slide as you hit the ground. You can then begin strafing
immediately .
Tactical Disengage:
- Use wall jumps to quickly change your elevation and trajectory. If you are outgunned, a sudden wall jump into a backward slide can put you out of an enemy's sightline before they can adjust their aim .
Tactical Application & Practice
Knowing the buttons is
one thing; using them in a fight is another.
- Hug the Walls: When moving around the map, stay
close to walls to minimize the angles you can be shot from .
- Dive Checking: Use a dolphin dive to fly across a
doorway or open area. This exposes you for a fraction of a second compared
to walking through, allowing you to check for enemies safely .
- Use the Training Course: Black Ops 6 and 7 feature
training courses. Spend 15 minutes before jumping into multiplayer
practicing these movement chains. Try combining a sprint, into a slide
cancel, into a jump shot, into a strafe .
Final Tip: Do not spam movement without purpose.
While a well-timed slide wins fights, diving in the open or sliding directly
into an enemy's crosshair will get you killed. In Black Ops 7,
diving should be kept to a minimum in direct combat as it removes control, but
it is excellent for repositioning or escaping explosives .
Master these techniques, and you will not just be a shooter you will be a movement god.
