Edge Peek
Overview
An edge peek is a controlled, minimal exposure lean around a bunker’s vertical or horizontal edge to gather information or challenge angles while keeping profile risk as low as possible.
Key Points
- Uses bunker edges to minimize visible profile.
- Allows information gathering with reduced risk.
- Serves as foundation for safe snapshots and angle checks.
- Must be micro controlled to avoid overextension.
- Critical in all bunker based engagements, especially snake and dorito fights.
Details
The edge peek is a precision movement technique where a player briefly leans around a bunker’s edge left, right, or top to gather visual information or initiate a controlled shot. Mastering edge peeks is essential to competitive survivability: even slight misalignment can expose mask edges, hopper surfaces, or shoulders to crossfield fire.
Effective edge peeks rely on posture control, smooth marker presentation, and micro timing. Players anchor their body tightly against bunker surfaces, pivoting minimally to avoid unnecessary exposure. Edge peeks often serve as precursors to fast peeks, head checks, or full snapshots depending on the tactical situation.
Edge peek discipline is especially important in snake battles, wedge fights, and dorito lanes, where angles are sharp and punishment is immediate. Elite players practice edge peeks extensively to maintain tight engagement geometry and deny opponents clean shots.
