xQc Discovers Faster Way To Walk In Black Ops 4 Blackout

The Black Ops 4 Blackout map is pretty big. Far bigger than a normal Call of Duty map. There’s vehicles here and there, such as helicopters, quad bikes and speedboats, but they make a ton of noise if you use them to traverse the map. The quietest way to move is of course walking, but it’s pretty slow. Not anymore. Ex-Overwatch League professional player Felix “xQc” Lengyel has discovered a way to travel much quicker while on foot.

In the clip above, you can see xQc spamming his keyboard. It makes his character jump then deploy the wing-glider almost instantly, giving him a huge boost in forward momentum. Of course, you can’t react as quickly or be as aware of your surroundings but in terms of speed, it’s so much quicker. Toward the end of the clip he turns around and you can see his duos partner way behind him, showing just how much quicker the new method is.

It’s yet to be seen whether this is actually a viable method of travelling across the map. It’ll no doubt be fairly loud, having to deploy your glider so much so a lot of players may prefer to opt for a vehicle because there’s a number of them that spawn. Of course, if someone shoots you while you’re doing this method you’re pretty much a sitting duck too. On PC, we imagine it’ll be used sometimes as a last resort method to escape the incoming storm but not too frequently. There’s also no inclination as to whether it’s possible on console with a controller.
