Jumping

Grenade Jump

Grenade Jumping is simple and all classes with a normal grenade can do it. This jump inflicts a huge amount of damage and will leave yourself close to death if you are one of the lighter armoured classes :

  1. Prime the grenade
  2. Place yourself against a wall looking up, while still pressing forward
  3. wait for the explosion and keep pressing forward

The grenade jump also works well if you are walking up slopes and if you are jumping when the grenade goes off.

Pipe Jump

The pipejump is an excellent way for a demoman to bypass defensive areas. The following steps are taken:

  1. shoot a single pipe near to where you are going
  2. jump when you are over the pipe
  3. detonate the pipe

where you end up after the jump depends on where you are in relation to the pipe when the pipe is detonated.

Rocket Jump

The rocket jump doesn't get you too far but in combination with grenades can get you almost anywhere:

  1. look at the ground while moving forward
  2. jump and fire a rocket at the ground

Alternatively you can use a bind to do it for you at a single keypress (see the configs screen).

Rocket-Grenade Jump

This technique allows you to get almost anywhere, and is particularly useful for getting into the top ammo room in well6 from the floor below:

  1. prime a grenade and hold it
  2. just before the grenade goes off rocket jump

Pipe-Grenade Jump

Similar to the rocket-grenade jump and is a little trickier for the uncoordinated:

  1. prime a grenade and hold it
  2. perform a pipejump just before the grenade goes off

Sniper Jump

This jump needs a sniper to launch a player and the jumper:

  1. sniper lines himself up below and behind the player
  2. sniper shoots the player point blank

This technique allows you to place players onto the front balcony of 2fort5 from the water.

Concussion Jump

This is a typical scout attack tactic and allows a scout to jump onto balconies etc. You can use either the standard grenade jump tactic or you can use a tactic similar to the pipebomb jump.
