How to Tap Strafe in Apex Legends

• Assigning Forward Mouse Wheel Scroll to Key 2 for Forward Movement: To facilitate the Tap Strafe technique, consider assigning the forward mouse wheel scroll to a key on your keyboard, preferably Key 2, to seamlessly integrate it with your movement controls.
• Assigning Mouse Wheel Scroll Backward for Jump (Optional): While not essential, some players find it beneficial to assign the mouse wheel scroll backward to the jump function, allowing for more fluid execution of the Tap Strafe maneuver.

• Step 1: Perform a Slide Jump: Initiate the sequence by executing a slide jump in the game. This involves sprinting and then crouching to slide before jumping to gain momentum.
• Step 2: Release W Key and Press Strafe Keys (A/D): As you execute the slide jump, release the W key (which controls forward movement) and swiftly press the strafe keys, A or D, to initiate lateral movement.
• Step 3: Hold Down Strafe Key and Scroll Mouse Wheel Forward: Once you've pressed the strafe key corresponding to the direction you want to move in, hold it down while simultaneously scrolling the mouse wheel forward, integrating the forward momentum into your lateral movement.
• Step 4: Moving the Mouse in the Desired Direction: Finally, as you maintain the strafe key and the forward mouse wheel scroll, move your mouse in the desired direction to steer your character effectively while executing the Tap Strafe maneuver.

• Adjustments for Convenience: Experiment with different key bindings and mouse sensitivity settings to find the configuration that feels most comfortable and intuitive for executing Tap Strafe.
• Release W Key After Slide Jump: It's crucial to release the W key promptly after executing the slide jump to seamlessly transition into the Tap Strafe sequence. This allows for smoother integration of lateral movement with the forward momentum generated from the slide jump.
