Rollout Shot
Overview
A rollout shot is a smooth, continuous wrap around a bunker edge where the barrel clears first, followed by the mask and shoulders, enabling fast, stable engagements with minimal telegraphing.
Key Points
- Executed as a flowing, circular wrap instead of a straight lean.
- Reduces jerky movements that opponents can track easily.
- Keeps the marker stable, improving accuracy during exposure.
- Ideal for contested edges and diagonal control lanes.
- Used to gain surprise angles and steal milliseconds in gunfights.
Details
The rollout shot is a refined wrapping technique used to maximize accuracy and minimize telegraphing. Instead of performing a fast, abrupt pop out, the player flows around the bunker in a smooth, rotational movement rolling the barrel, shoulder, and mask into view.
This technique provides several benefits: stability, reduced exposure spikes, and improved crossfield angle generation. Because movement is continuous, opponents have less opportunity to track a sharp exposure pattern. The rollout also aligns the marker naturally with the bunker edge, reducing recoil influence.
Rollout shots are common in: Snake mirror fights Dorito edge trades Midline wedge battles Diagonal pressure situations
Proper execution requires body rotation rather than leaning, keeping the core engaged and the marker tight to the mask for a stable firing platform.
