Was this the right call Is tap strafing really c. As Respawn enabled cross-play in Apex Legends back in 2020, players can use both controllers as well as mouse and keyboard to play against each other in. Apex Legends has REMOVED tap strafing, one of the most popular advanced movement techniques, from the game. On top of that, Rampart's heirloom weapon is being added, plus she'll have some discounted modded weapons for players to use in the 3v3 Arenas mode. Tap-strafing is a movement tech that originated from the Titanfall games, and it basically lets PC players make a crazy 180-degree sharp turn to gain an edge over their opponents in the game. Players can use crafting materials here to buy Rampart's Custom Modded Paintball Weapons, which sounds like fun.

So, while Apex's next patch will no longer be removing tap-strafing, it is adding a new collection event to the battle royale today. Quake 3 had it's own version of strafe-jumping that a dev tried to get rid of because he didn't like everyone 'bouncing around all the time'.

Movement exploits like this have existed in FPSs for yonks.

Originally, Respawn said they wanted to remove tap-strafing because it's 'inaccessible, lacks readability/counterplay, and is exacerbated by movement abilities.' It's the sort of movement tech used predominantly by high-level players, and part of the argument is that it's not fair on console users (now that Apex has cross play), or folks using a controller, because they can't tap-strafe as effectively. Most players who're experienced with this tech will bind 'move forward' to their mouse scroll wheel to consistently pull it off. It lets you keep your momentum from the slide, then fling yourself around by 180 degrees to speedily hop around corners, or dodge enemies. To perform a tap-strafe, you need to spam your forward button after slide-jumping while attempting to move to the side.
