Move Window
Overview
A move window is a brief opportunity when conditions momentarily allow a safe or high percentage movement between bunkers due to lane shifts, reloads, or opponent distraction.
Key Points
- Short lived and must be recognized instantly.
- Often created by reloads, communication delays, or angle transitions.
- Crucial for front players making deep advances.
- Requires immediate execution once identified.
- Coordinated teams intentionally create these windows through pressure.
Details
A move window is the short period often less than a second during which a lane becomes safe enough for a player to bump or reposition. These opportunities arise unpredictably and require sharp recognition and immediate action.
Move windows occur when opponents: Reload Switch hands Shift focus to a different bunker React to another player drawing fire Lose a body count advantage Are forced into tighter edges
Top players read move windows instinctively by watching: Gun posture changes Shooting rhythm shifts Delay tactics or distraction pressure Indicator signals from opponents
High level teams create move windows intentionally. By applying group fire or drawing fire, teammates manipulate opponents into breaking their lanes at precise moments, allowing safe movement.
Missing a move window often means waiting several more seconds or the rest of the point before another opportunity appears.
