Under Pressure Move
Overview
An under pressure move is any bunker bump, snapshot, or repositioning action performed while actively being shot at or suppressed by heavy lanes.
Key Points
- Requires reading timing windows and opponent rhythm.
- Used to escape containment or gain new firing angles.
- Risky if performed without lane collapse or support.
- Calls for precise footwork, bunker usage, and profile management.
- Often executed during high intensity gunfights or stalemates.
- Separates advanced players from beginners due to decision making demands.
Details
An under pressure move is a high risk maneuver where a player repositions or bumps to a new bunker while opponents are actively applying pressure. Executing such a move requires reading lane rhythm, anticipating pauses in fire, and using micro timing to slip through gaps.
Players often perform these moves to escape isolation, break stalemates, or reach impact positions that shift point momentum. Under pressure moves rely heavily on maintaining a small profile, using bunkers for transitional cover, and staying unpredictable in timing.
Teams support such moves through cross lanes, distraction fire, or coordinated timing signals. Poorly supported under pressure moves usually result in easy eliminations.
High level players train these movements extensively, developing instinctive timing and refined movement mechanics.
