[TF2] The Complete Bhop Guide

[@erk.365]

Edit, i have made updates and edits in the description of the video! Bhopping isn't frame perfect. It is about near tick perfect jumps (1-7 give or take)! But more fps generally makes it easier.

[@smartr0ve]

how do i unbind

[@erk.365]

@@smartr0ve type into console "unbind (key)" and it'll make it null

[@FacuBenz]

@@erk.365 how can i make the key change the guns again? it becomes null if i press unbind xD

[@elbow_xd]

tip: this is extremely hard to do on offline servers with no ping, so if youre practicing offline, put "net_fakelag 30" in the console to simulate artificial ping (so its easier to hit)

[@C40dude]

Ty, very much :D

[@kyo666oyk]

This needs to be higher. Let's you practice the maps you play the most without all the chaos. I accidently discovered this while trying to get my garden timing down I thought I would try this command. Started hitting bhops all of a sudden and was confused until I realized the correlation.

omg finally someone makes a bhopping tutorial, soundsmiths one is good but dosent have detail thank you man

[@colatf2]

Yea I remember first learning bhops and watching soundsmith’s video and it was just like “get good at rocket jumping and bhop is easy.”

[@homersimpsonfromfortnite]

@@colatf2to be honest his bhoping aren’t stellar the most ive seen him do is 3

[@lordvgames]

In the past, I could've sworn that any class would go a tiny bit faster with bhopping, nice to see it confirmed-ish

[@ezylynn1419]

This video was beautifully executed, encompassing all of the instructions and helpful tips for a beginner to start their bhopping journey. You really outdone yourself on this one, Erk! You deserve a good break.

[@erk.365]

No breaks right now, just gas 😎

[@SUPDOZ]

12:30 this is called an edgebug, where you surf on the very last pixel of an object, negating fall damage. very hard to pull off intentionally in tf2 servers because of the high tickrate. but this technique can be pulled off on any object in tf2

[@RealNick04]

Great video. Love how you did the research into this tutorial bc the other ones were missing a lot of info. As a Medic main, I think bhopping has its uses for other classes. Also bhopping with the air strike is easier if you practice a lot. Here’s a list of useful examples with every class from personal experience : Scout: You can’t no matter how hard you try. Double jump interferes Soldier: low hp with the escape plan and the air strike and market gardener examples you mentioned Pyro: Powerjack or detonator jump and Powerjack bhopping combo Demoman: useless unless you’re a Demoknight with a 4 head Eyelander Heavy: GRU or being whipped by a soldier on ur team Engineer: only useful if escaping or combine with a wrangler jump Medic: perfect for dodging, escaping or whenever ur healing a Scout Sniper: kinda useless unless u rocket surf and then hit a few bhops Spy: Taking dmg while using DR or using big earner Another thing to mention is that Gravel Pit and Granary has a few bhopping spots that are rlly useful. This is a great vid man.

[@erk.365]

Yea although I'm pretty experienced with bhopping I made sure to do extra research for this video. You can always learn something regardless your level

[@RealNick04]

@@erk.365 You're not wrong abt learning new things. I forgot to mention that bhopping with the tomislav as a Heavy works and its a common strat that a lot of heavy mains use

[@jakubpietowski4795]

At 12:31 you did a type of bounce hop where you can uncrouch and jump in the same game tick to negate fall damage. No one really knows about it since it requires very specific conditions.

[@blob5907]

a bounce hop as opposed to a hop where you dont bounce. two words with identical meanings. The term your searching for is Jump Bug.

[@Prisoner]

Thanks for the video Man, the amount of time u spent doing it was definitely worth it

[@d7-ek1qf]

bro gave us therapy on the tips

[@LUMINOL697]

12:30 I've encountered the same things it's because of the train rails. If you go down fast enough and try to bhop on them u can edgebug for a split second and negate fall damage. It's really weird .

[@erk.365]

I suspected it was something like that but I said hey why not mention it

[@MerelyMiserable]

12:31 this happens because of how close you were to the edge of that wood wall you did a edge slide which sometimes causes lack of fall damage

[@kingdomofhearts9999]

[@ShubaDuck]

Thank you for the tutorial! helped me a lot!

[@erk.365]

Glad I can help!

[@mellified6500]

12:25 this was 2 years ago so I'm sure you know by now, but that was a crouch bug, when you uncrouch and jump at perfect timing, and lucky server ticks, you can cancel fall damage.

[@jbt115]

negating fall damage from a bhop is called a jumpbug very similar to a bhop but its when your uncrouch at the same time as bhoping u womt take fall damage. it only works at certain heights though

if you have a bit of downward speed bhopping off of a downward ramp can shoot you forward too which is pretty great

At 12:26 you did a jumpbug not a bhop. They are simillar but jumpbugs are way harder to time since you have to jump in your uncrouch animation as your landing (tick perfect almost)

how can bunnyhopping be frame perfect if all source games are tick based?

The long awaited guide

[@glebnekrasov1]

As a portal 2 speedrunner I can confirm this is how you bhop in source games

[@sinther]

damn i was wondering why i couldnt hit any bhops in walkway, as soon as i used the net_fakelag command i started chaining like 5 bhops like it was nothing, guess i have the talent

[@AYS-v6z]

7:00 im pretty sure most people dont use s and a as the right and left

[@KaledTV]

how can you tell at 11:50 that you are hitting the bhops right or not? is there a sure way to tell without having the MG out to test if you get crit or not? also at 12:41, can you actually get an MG crit if you can't hear the woosh sound from the Rocket Jumper? Thanks for the help

[@blandragny9152]

When you don't take fall damage, it's probably because you've edge bugged off a pebble or some tiny little bit of the map that otherwise has no effect on the game but on most maps, there are some little oddities like that. You don't have to bhop to utilise them.

[@darkknightdawn6107]

i can bhop without doing the rokcte jump but bwhen i do i cant do it off the ground like cansomebody explain why this doesnt work

[@ag3g]

10:50, its because those servers have 0 ping. Market gardener bhops rely on you having some ping

[@uncheckable_vibe]

10:39 can you fix this by setting your server to "sv_lan 0"?

[@guscox9651]

The fall damage thing is quite rare but really good to know

[@P-N0MAD]

"good ping helps too" me: darn

[@MerelyMiserable]

As a total 100% deff pro at bhopping this video makes me happy

[@CatBoyGaming23]

Very helpful but too many engineers in Hightower to try this out 😂

[@Astro_Fizix]

There is no extra speed from what I understand. The extra speed reading is coming from the new vertical speed (whether upwards at the start or downwards by the end of the jump) counting into your total speed. Before you had 320 horizontal. Now you have 320 horizontal + ~70. This may be wrong though if your speed reader is tracking horizontal speed only but I doubt it since it clearly goes much higher when you fall off a cliff, indicating that’s it’s tracking vert+horizontal.

[@yoshikagekira1974]

Thx master i learned it

[@PineappleSquuid]

Your editing and quality is incredible. Remember me when you are famous!

[@matt-s7i5t]

The fall damage negation might be caused by something called a jump bug

[@kryptineZ]

I think Ill just stick to the rocket jumper Cuz Im gonna break my keys before I even begin to get the hang of bhopping

[@thecringeslayer4897]

5:39 how unbind?

[@arenmee540]

oh it took me a while to realize how your keystrokes worked F is forward D is down (or back) A is left S is right

[@Sardarge_]

So, I have a pretty bad pc, 90 FPS max, and 20-300 ping every now and then. And I get people telling me its impossible to bhop with only the spacebar, "It needs multiple spacebar inputs in a second". Though I bhop with only the spacebar, so is this just misinformation or what

[@erk.365]

@Sardarge_ it is you can bhop with just space bar. FPS doesn't matter much but helps a lot. All it comes down to though is timing and practicing. There is no perfect method

[@BiblemanTF]

12:31 i thought you did an accidental manual jumpbug but after watching closer u can see how you slid a bit, its probably a micro edgebug or slopebug right before the bhop, still funny regardless

[@elliotjones3503]

Why is the s your right key

[@ladisloved]

Is it a glitch on your screen keyboard emulation or you really use S as walk right and D as walk back? +F as atack and Shift also does something. What a strange thing. Are your fingers broken?

[@erk.365]

my binds would scare you and yes probably

[@ahmadsultan2870]

​@@erk.365this confused me alot as now I don't understand what inputs you did in the vid

[@colatf2]

When bhopping, should I hold w or just tap it or only press a and s?

[@erk.365]

You only want to use it to walk forwards to start the bhop(samething with rocket jumping). When your bhopping you dont want to use W to move or itll mess up the directionin which your tryna go, so only use your strafe keys (left and right) when you get a running start and that will keep your speed as you jump. progression 2 in the video is how'd you do it

[@stewart950]

for some reason when i bhop i keep my momentum and i can gain speed but i dont keep my rocket jump with market gardener

[@mathgrindnoise]

Great guide! Have you ever heard of this tf2 mod called open fortress? If not you should definitely check it out cuz I feel like you would dominate every server you’re in since bhopping is an actual movement mechanic in the game and you’re basically a bhopping god in tf2

[@ClaireTheSaltyHypocrite2309]

what on gods green earth are these bindings. ASDF INSTEAD OF ADSW?????? WHAT ARE YOU PLAYING??? FNF?????

[@zach1232j]

[@guyswhat_isthepoint_0flife4141]

What are you movement keybinds if you don’t understand what I mean I mean how do you move right, left, forward and etc.

[@GasPasserGaming]

I’m assuming that you don’t have a QWERTY keyboard because F is not bound to forward normally

[@Prisoner]

Any thoughts on this?: I've experimented with macros/loops which spam the jump action, and it looks to me that no matter how perfect is the synch between jumping and being close to the ground, there is still a big chance the server won't register your bhop, and this chance appears to change both between different servers and in a same server over time.

[@DetectiveDeuche]

there is a server side "WAIT" command that stops you spamming inputs with commands servers with this command disabled will have no problem with a loop/macro but any valve server will be inconsistent af, this will be because you may get lucky and your jump will perfectly sync up with the wait timer, other times it will not. This is why it will appear to change in the same server over time and different servers. You are infinitely better off learning the actual bhop technique. Hope this helped.

[@Prisoner]

@@DetectiveDeuche thanks! that was really helpful, but I forgot to say that I also have experimented doing the same thing but using mwheeldown too (I always bhop using mwheel, the macros where just an experiment) and the same phenomenon still occurs, I can also say that macros aren't of much help, they are similar to using the wheel in terms of bhop success. For example in private lan servers both using macros and mwheeldown I get the same average consecutive bhops (like 8 consecutive bhops average) In the end macros might be useful for people who suck at using the mwheel, but as you get better using macros isn't really an advantage and it might even be worse because it makes it harder to control when and how to bhop , so I doubt pros use macros

[@DetectiveDeuche]

@@Prisoner for sure, I also noticed if you do more then about 8 inputs a second the game cant handle it and will just sease registering jump inputs all together so I find mwheel useful but if you go too fast it'll basically be worse than just jumping with space

[@Prisoner]

@@DetectiveDeuche wow that's really interesting, how did u find out how many inputs the game handles per second?

[@DetectiveDeuche]

@@Prisoner I dont know the exact number for certain but it seems to be around 8-10 inputs before the server gives up, you can try yourself by going on a server with sv_cheats 1 and doing "host_timescale 0.5" or "host_timescale 0.25" and see how many jump inputs you can manage while bhopping before the game stops you being able to jump for me the sweetspot seems to be 9 inputs or less provided my timing was good always seems to work but more than that is where it starts to cut out, 15 and above was almost always too many but I have no idea where the hard limit is.

Two questions, does ist make a difference when having other configs. For example different interp settings. And the other question is if it is weird that i have the Feeling that on different servers there is a slightly different timing needed, up to the point, that it doesnt even work.

[@RevolutionaryOven]

What bothers me is I see people still do it to this day, so I know it's still possible, but I've been trying ever since I first learned how to rocket jump years ago and have not been able to trigger it once. I'm of the belief that there's some secret method that just nobody's talking about, handed out under the table among soldier mains.
