Off-Angle Position
Overview
An off angle position is a bunker location or shooting angle that sits outside the primary, expected engagement line, allowing a player to strike opponents from an unexpected trajectory or bypass standard defensive lanes.
Key Points
- Creates unconventional lines of fire not covered by standard lanes.
- Used to surprise opponents and punish predictable exposures.
- Often accessed through inside routes or lateral repositioning.
- Forces opponents to split attention between multiple angles.
- Highly effective at collapsing structured defenses or trapping bunkers.
Details
An off angle position is any location on the field that gives a shooter an angle not usually accounted for during regular gunfights. Instead of battling from mirror positions or standard bunker edges, a player shifts to a position that hits opponents from an unexpected direction.
Off angles are valuable because they: Expose blind spots that bunkers normally protect. Punish predictable wrapping or snapshot habits. Neutralize anchor players who rely on standard angles. Force defenders to choose between multiple threats.
Players often access off angles through: Inside cuts Lateral moves Center to wire rotations Unexpected bumps during chaos or reload windows
Elite teams incorporate off angles into mid game collapses, especially when they need to break dug in defenses. A single player taking the right off angle can instantly eliminate multiple opponents by hitting packs, sides, or blind exposures.
