Surfing is an advanced movement that takes a lot of practice and acquired skills to use at a level where it is beneficial to you in actual matches. For the longest time, players have used surfing as a medium to fast-track their movements to reach a spot ahead of the opponent but to do it at an elite level takes a lot of practice.
With the release of CS2, the question on everyone’s mind is that if the same can be accomplished with the latest iteration of Counter-Strike. And the answer is yes. Surfing can only be done in specific areas of the game, namely the flat angular surfaces where you can climb to an extent. An understanding of the in-game physics is fundamental to acquire the skill of surfing.
Surfing might seem very satisfying and easy to accomplish but it’s just as difficult. If you are used to surfing in CSGO, surfing should not be a problem for you, however, if you are new to the game, read through to understand how the movement is accomplished in the game and how to practice it.
How to Surf in CS2?
In CS2, surfing involves gliding sideways along inclined surfaces on a map. The primary concept is to head towards the ramp, press the forward key (“W”), and solely utilize the sideways keys (“A” and “D”) along with mouse movement to maneuver along the ramp.
To start surfing, approach the ramp and press the sideways key corresponding to the ramp’s direction (“A” for a rightward ramp, “D” for a leftward one). It’s crucial to smoothly move the mouse in the same direction as the ramp. Additionally, avoid pressing “W” or “S” while on the ramp to ensure proper mechanics and success.
To access a surf server in CS2, follow the steps below:
- Open CS2.
- Click on “PLAY” at the top.
- Click on the Globe icon.
- In the community server browser, type “surf” in the search bar.
- Select any map from the list and start surfing.
Surfing may seem very difficult to accomplish at first but it is one of the most satisfying things that you can do when mastered.
