If you use bhop then you will be able to move around the map faster, get out of awkward situations and be a much harder target for your opponents to hit.

Origin of Bunny-Hopping

The origin of bunny-hopping in CS, what some players call art, is related to another game. The game in question is Quake, whose players have found that with the skill of bunny-hopping they can move very quickly, which means that they jump around the map in a certain pattern. Later, bhop made its way into Counter-Strike franchise games where it continued to evolve and amaze players with its unique movement mechanics. 

CS2 brings enviable fun, and if you master bhop it will be even greater. In Quake, players had to immediately release the forward button when strafing, while in CS2, where the friction is greater, a faster deceleration occurs if the player jumps before the friction takes effect. While previously bhop was less used, over time it became more and more accepted as an excellent pattern for faster movement, and many servers were created where players spend several hours practicing bhop.

What Is B-Hopping?

To know how to bhop in CS2 you must first know what bhop is. Bhop is a very challenging skill that combines jumping and strafing to make you move even faster in CS2. Bhop was recognized as a very effective way of moving back in the early days of the Counter-Strike franchise and this skill involves the player after touching the ground to jump again and to do so very quickly. If the player measures his next jump in the right way, then with the additional momentum he will be able to move forward drastically faster. With several consecutive jumps like this, you will be uncatchable by your enemy who is running after you with a knife drawn. This means that if you master the art of performing perfect bhops, you will have a significant advantage over your opponents because you will have much more room to outwit them. 

At first glance, it seems that performing bhop is very simple, but this is not exactly the case. In order to make a series of successful jumps at all, it is very important that your first jump is successful because if this is not the case, then performing a bhop will be a mental noun for you. If you master this skill, which is a combination of speed and agility, you will have another powerful weapon in the fight with your rivals.

How to Bhop In CS2?

Mastering this skill is not as easy as it seems at first glance. To perform bhop, you need proper timing and to have quick reflexes along with the necessary knowledge of the mechanics of the game itself. In order to perform a bhop successfully, it is important to maintain your character’s momentum, and you will achieve this by aiming in the air and landing at a right angle. Achieving this balance takes time and don’t despair if you fail to bhop after a short time as many players need a lot of attempts to successfully bhop.

To successfully perform bhop follow these steps:

  1. Start running: Start running forward by pressing W.
  2. Jump: When you gain momentum, press the jump key (either on the keyboard or mouse wheel), which is usually the space bar. However, we recommend you make a bind to jump with the mouse wheel, as this will be the easiest way to be precise when performing several consecutive jumps.
  3. Air attack: In the air, release the “W” key. Turn the mouse slightly to the left or right and press the corresponding key (“A” for left, “D” for right). This is known as aerial strafing.
  4. Land, and jump again: Just before touching the ground, press the jump key again. If the timing is correct, you will jump again immediately after landing, maintaining your momentum.
  5. Repeat: Continue the process of jumping and aerial strafing. Each time you successfully jump, your speed will increase.

Techniques for Bhop

To know how to bhop in CS2 you have to master several key techniques: jump timing strafing and bind settings. If you successfully master these techniques then performing bhop will be second nature to you. 

Regarding bind settings, a very important button for performing jumps can be your scroll wheel. If you use the wheel on your mouse to jump then you will have enviable precision and great jump control. Without too much trouble, you can perform well-timed jumps in series by simply moving the wheel, which will contribute to gaining an enviable speed. If you want to jump using the wheel on your mouse then you need to do the following:

  1. Launch the game.
  2. Go to the Settings menu.
  3. Select Keyboard/Mouse.
  4. Select Movement Keys.
  5. Select Jump to change the input.
  6. Scroll your mouse wheel up or down. Your jump is now bound to either scroll wheel down or up, depending on your preference.

You can also change your jump bind as follows via the developer console:

  1. Enable the developer console in CS2 by going to settings.
  2. Click the magnifying glass and type in “console”.
  3. The first setting that appears will ask if you want to enable the developer console (~).
  4. Change it to “Yes”.
  5. Copy these commands into your console: 
  • bind mwheeldown +jump;bind space +jump
  • bind mwheelup +jump;bind space +jump
  • bind “mwheeldown” +jump; bind “mwheelup” +jump; bind “space” +jump

Using the mouse wheel to jump can cause random jumping which many players have faced in CS:GO as a possible issue. If this situation happens to you, then the space bar is a better option for producing jumps.

How to Improve Your Bhop?

Practice makes perfect, including learning how to bhop! Incorporating it after a lot of practice, within your training, gives you a much greater chance that you will still succeed in performing the bhop. There are servers that are tailored just for practicing bhop so find one of them to perfect your skills. You can do this in the following way:

  1. Go to the Steam Workshop.
  2. Once there, add the Counter-Strike 2 filter and type bhop in the search bar.
  3. Subscribe to the maps you find appealing.
  4. Launch CS2 and select Workshop Maps from the drop-down menu.
  5. Play.

Monitoring your progress and velocity while performing the bhop can be crucial to perfecting the bhop. You can monitor your position and velocity using the developer console where you can type certain commands like sv_cheats true and cl_showpos 1. When you type both of those things you’ll see a bunch of data at the bottom of the screen on the left side and velocity is what you need to pay attention. Your bhop velocity should be higher than 250. This can help you see where you’re going wrong and improve your jump timing or strafing. Analyzing your own mistakes is always very useful, and we are sure that it will help you to successfully perform bhop.
