[3-5-4] How do I run?

Learn how to use the Lock-On mechanic in Quake. This guide explains how to target enemies and unleash powerful attacks, ensuring you hit every mark.

Alright, let's talk about movement in Quake. You're probably wondering how to get around faster, right? It's not just about running forward; there's a bit more to it. First off, you've got your standard movement keys (usually WASD). Hold down the forward key, and you'll move. Simple enough. But to really get going, you'll want to master strafing and jumping. Strafing is key. This means using your A and D keys (or whatever your left/right movement keys are) *while* also moving forward. It helps you change direction quickly and maintain speed. Try combining forward movement with strafing – it feels a bit like dancing, but way more deadly. Then there's bunny hopping. This is a bit more advanced, but super useful. It involves timing your jumps so that you jump again right as you land. This can help you maintain or even gain speed over longer distances. It takes practice, so don't get discouraged if you don't nail it right away. Just keep at it, and you'll be zipping around in no time. Remember, Quake is all about speed and control. The better you move, the harder you are to hit, and the more opportunities you'll have to land those critical shots. So, get out there, practice your movement, and have fun!
