Basic Movement & Aiming
You can run left or right, and jump up or diagonally in either direction. Aiming works similarly, in that you can fire in any direction, either while moving or while standing still. For instance, when playing on an Xbox controller, if you hold the Left or Right Triggers, your player-character will stop running. You can then use the left stick to aim in any direction to concentrate your fire!
Going Prone
Shooting while prone gives soldiers a key advantage while on the battlefield. There are times when it’s necessary to dispatch hostiles from a lower vantage point, and there are certain “boss” class enemies who make use of abilities that would compel soldiers to evade or counter projectiles by dropping to the ground.
Jumping
Soldiers should utilize their jumping skills to evade incoming projectiles. This can also prove useful when dealing with hordes of Meat soldiers. Use this to your advantage when dealing with common enemies, incoming projectiles, and attacks from bosses.
Descending Levels
You can jump down to a lower platform or level by pressing Down and the Jump Button. Doing so can help you dodge projectiles or hordes of enemies, and you can reach destructible objects to obtain new weapons, upgrades, and passive abilities.
It’s important for every soldier to get acquainted with these basic movement controls. Knowing when to run, when to jump, and when to either aim while moving or standing still can save you one of your limited lives!
