In Apex Legends, movement is a crucial part of your survival, rather than a simple means of traversing a location. Although every Legend has a base speed, mastering a number of movement techniques will greatly affect your performance in intense battles. Among the many movement tricks in the game, Bunny Hopping stands out. It’s a fluid technique that can be used to keep out of range of fire, to heal, or to remain agile during a fight.

What Is Bunny Hopping in Apex Legends?

Bunny Hopping or bhopping is a sophisticated movement strategy in Apex Legends that allows players to maintain speed and momentum by jumping in succession. It enables swift map traversal while avoiding enemy fire. It is particularly useful in combat, enabling players to evade fire, reposition, or heal. Mastering bhopping is tactically beneficial, particularly regarding positioning and survivability during a match.

Guide to Bunny Hopping

Follow these steps to start bhopping:

1. Build Up Speed Begin by sprinting to gain momentum. The faster you start, the smoother the Bunny Hop will feel.
2. Start a Slide Hold your crouch key (set to Hold to Crouch in your settings for better control) and initiate a slide. Avoid toggle crouch, it makes bhopping harder.
3. Jump at the Right Moment Just as you begin sliding, press your jump key to start your hop. Timing is key here.
4. Chain Your Jumps Each time you land, jump again immediately. Binding your jump to your mouse wheel or a side mouse button can help you nail the timing.
5. Add Strafing for Unpredictability While hopping, mix in left/right movement (A/D keys) to make yourself even harder to track.

Bunny Hopping While Healing

One of the biggest advantages of bhopping is that you can heal on the move. Normally, using a syringe or shield cell slows you down and makes you vulnerable, but with bhopping you can keep gliding across the battlefield.

Here’s how:

• Start Bunny Hopping as usual
• While in mid-hop, activate your healing item
• Keep chaining your jumps to stay mobile while regaining health or shields

This technique is especially useful after taking damage in open areas, allowing you to recover without hiding.

Keeping your momentum allows you to dodge shots while healing in the open as well as controlling engagements far better. As with any advanced mechanic, you'll need time to master this. However, once it clicks, you'll wonder how you ever made it without it.
