Timing Push
Overview
A timing push is an aggressive move initiated at the exact moment an opponent reloads, shifts guns, loses visual contact, or otherwise becomes vulnerable, maximizing success while minimizing risk.
Key Points
- Triggered by timing windows created by opponent actions.
- Requires quick recognition of reload cues or lane breaks.
- Executed to secure key bunkers or force structural collapse.
- Relies on coordination between attackers and support players.
- High success rate when timed correctly; high risk when mistimed.
Details
Timing pushes leverage micro windows where opponents are temporarily unable to shoot such as during reloads, gun switches, head checks, communication breaks, or when they shift to another lane. Elite players identify these windows instinctively through audio cues, rhythm analysis, and pressure reads.
A timing push is not a reckless charge; it is a surgically timed movement that exploits a fleeting opportunity. When executed properly, it allows players to take high value bunkers, collapse isolated zones, or secure eliminations on unsuspecting opponents.
Teamwide timing pushes, where multiple players move simultaneously based on a single vulnerability, often determine the outcome of entire matches.
