Wall Kick

Lore & Background

While many characters in the universe possess unique fighting styles or favored weapons, the Wall Kick remains most closely associated with the enigmatic protagonist known as Jacket. It serves as a visual shorthand for his detachment and efficiency; he does not merely kill, he performs. This maneuver often appears in moments of high tension, where a direct confrontation is impossible, forcing the killer to use the environment to gain the upper hand.

To execute a Wall Kick, the player must sprint directly toward any solid vertical surface while facing it. Upon impact, the character automatically leaps off the wall, propelling themselves into a high arc over obstacles or enemies. The move delivers an instant kill if the kick connects with an enemy's head during the apex of the jump. It is one of the few methods to bypass heavy armor or shields without using weapons. This technique requires precise timing and spacing; running too far from the wall results in a collision, while being too close may prevent the launch animation from triggering correctly. It is most effective when used to surprise groups clustered near corners or doorways.
