You Can Actually Wall Run In Apex Legends Á La Titanfall 2, Here’s How

One of the major reasons why Respawn Entertainment’s Titanfall 2 was so beloved is the ability to wall run, making movement more smooth. Wall running isn’t available in Apex Legends, but there’s actually a way to sort of pull it off anyway.

Several Apex Legends players have discovered a way to wall run in the battle royale game, albeit across short distances.

The trick makes use of the game’s existing climbing mechanic, which allows players to scale small buildings. It’s important to first slide and jump onto the wall, and then use the aim and movement keys to maintain momentum.

Here’s a step-by-step guide for wall running in Apex Legends:

1. Sprint towards a wall.
2. Slide and then jump onto the wall.
3. Turn your aim slightly to face the wall, while running in the opposite direction.
4. At the end of the wall run, jump while turning your aim the direction you’re jumping.

Many experienced Apex Legends players are apparently already aware of the wall jumping trick, but the YouTuber The Gaming Merchant demonstrates that combining it with a wall run is more effective, thanks to the momentum build-up.

While wall running is not a mechanic put into the game by the developers, it simply uses the available mechanics and exploits them. If more players keep using this wall running trick in Apex Legends, perhaps Respawn Entertainment will someday officially add the mechanic in a future update.
