Beginner Building — The Fundamentals

1. Wall Placement

When an opponent shoots, place a wall between you and them. Practice placing walls quickly and accurately 50 times until it becomes muscle memory.

2. Basic Ramp Rush

Run toward your opponent while placing ramps. Jump, place ramp under you, land on it — repeat. Gives height advantage and better shooting angles.

3. The 90-Degree Turn

For vertical climbing while protected: place wall front, wall side, floor, ramp — all in quick succession. Practice slow, then add speed.

Intermediate Techniques

Protected Ramp Push

Add walls on both sides and floor above as you push: Ramp → Wall (left) → Wall (right) → Floor (above) → Ramp → Repeat.

Box Fighting

Build a 1x1 box (four walls + ramp inside). Edit windows for shooting, then reset edit to block return fire. The entire sequence should take under a second.

Shooting Tips

  • Peek shooting — Edit window, take one shot, reset edit. Never trade shots in the open.
  • Shotgun — Best for close-range box fighting
  • AR — Good for medium-range chip damage
  • SMG — Good for pressuring walls and close-range spray

Daily Practice Routine

  1. 5 min Free Build — Practice 90s, ramp rushes, protected pushes
  2. 5 min Edit Practice — Windows, doors, and resets
  3. 5 min Aim Training — Flicking and tracking
  4. 10 min Real Matches — Apply what you practiced

Common Beginner Mistakes

  1. Not building at all — You cannot out-shoot someone with cover
  2. Building without purpose — Every piece should serve a purpose
  3. Over-building — Too high makes you vulnerable to fall damage
  4. Forgetting to edit — Trapping yourself in a box without knowing edits
  5. Neglecting aim — Balance building practice with aim training
