How to wall jump in Apex Legends

In a video, YouTuber ‘Mokeysniper’ made a compilation of how to perfect long and purposeful strides off most vertical surfaces while competing in the Apex Games.

1. Sprint toward a “blank wall”
2. Slide
3. Jump
4. Let go of “Forward”
5. Jump the moment you make contact with the wall

No two wall jumps are the same, and the YouTuber showed how to get a greater leap off the wall using some movement. As soon as the player gets out of their slide and jumps to toward the wall, “as soon as you leave the ground move into the direction you want to travel.”
