The result should be a midair turn that allows you to maintain the initial momentum of your sliding jump as you change direction.Apex Legends, like many other first-person shooters, has a deep strategic component. To complete the Tap Strafe, you’ll move your mouse in whichever direction you are strafing while repeatedly inputting the “move forward” command. Many high-level players bind the “move forward” command to the mouse’s scroll wheel for Tap Strafing, as simply scrolling the wheel will activate several “move forward” commands. Which direction your character turns will depend on whether you were strafing with the “A” or “D” key. While air strafing, you’ll want to rapidly press whatever key you have bound to “move forward,” which will cause you to change directions while in the air, and also shift the direction of your momentum from your sliding jump without losing any of it. While in midair, you’ll either hold down the “A” (left) or “D” (right) key, depending on which direction you would like to go while turning around on its own, this is called “air strafing.” The setup for Tap Strafing involves performing a simple crouch-slide and jumping out of it.

One such strategy is Tap Strafing - a movement exploit that allows you to rapidly change direction in midair following a sliding jump while maintaining your momentum. Apex Legends is quite notable for its dynamic style of movement, and as a result, many tactics utilized by the game’s higher-level players tend to involve advanced movement strategies.
