# How to Mantle Jump (with Controller Inputs) - Apex Movement Guide

## Summary

This video is a comprehensive guide to performing mantle jumps in Apex Legends, covering two variations (looking up and looking down), techniques for both mouse and keyboard and controller, and advanced movement options like tap strafing and air strafing. The guide emphasizes consistency and provides specific input timings and tips.

### Key Points

- **Introduction and Like Request** [00:01] — The video starts with a request to like the video and mentions it will cover two versions of the mantle jump, two around the map, and how to add movement to mantle jumps.
- **Definition of Mantle Jump** [00:14] — A mantle jump is a super jump performed while hanging onto a ledge. To super jump regularly, look at a zip line, interact, and double jump.
- **Mouse and Keyboard Super Jump Technique** [00:28] — Bind jump's second function to scroll down. Look at the zip line, interact, and scroll jump one frame immediately after. This helps hit consistent super jumps and mantle jumps.
- **Controller Super Jump Technique** [00:42] — On controller, slide your thumb from interact to jump in one motion. This slide motion inputs two buttons quickly, saving time and helping hit the second jump button faster.
- **Gentle Pressing Tip** [01:06] — Don't press hard on the buttons; the harder you press, the more friction and slower the inputs. Be gentle to improve consistency.
- **Setting Up a Mantle Jump** [01:19] — Head to a zip line, and as your eyes come close to a ledge, jump or crouch off to land in a mantle. Jumping pushes forward and up, crouching pushes forward and down. Crouch slightly above the ledge for a perfect setup.
- **Two Types of Mantle Jumps** [01:32] — There are two types: looking up (easier) and looking down. For looking up, tap S or flick movement to drop off the mantle, then flick camera up and input a super jump. If you get flown, super jump a bit later.
- **Looking Down Mantle Jump** [01:59] — Use looking down for shorter ceilings to avoid hitting your head. While riding the zip line, jump or crouch into a mantle, then flick movement to auto mantle over the ledge. Hold backwards and flick camera down at the halfway point of the mantle animation. Super jump a bit later than the regular version.
- **Pro Tip: Hold Interact** [02:50] — Instead of tapping E to interact, hold E the entire time. This ensures you zip line immediately, making the small input window more consistent.
- **Mantle Jumping Off Different Ledges** [03:02] — Normal ledges auto-lock you into a mantle when jumping or crouching off. Block ledges push you off, so you need to hold forwards to force a climbing animation, then pull back to perform a mantle jump.
- **Adding Direction and Tap Strafing** [03:40] — When pulling back, turn your camera in any direction (even 180°) to mantle jump in that direction. On mouse and keyboard, you can add tap strafes: start with 90°, then 180°, eventually 360° for hard-to-track jumps.
- **Air Strafing and Super Glide** [04:07] — Use directional inputs to air strafe or analog stick to slow down in the air, allowing you to land in another mantle and super glide off it.

### Conclusion

Mastering mantle jumps requires precise input timing and practice, but with the techniques shown—including looking up/down variations and advanced movement—you can significantly improve your mobility in Apex Legends. Consistency comes from gentle inputs and holding interact, while tap strafing adds unpredictability.

jump? A mantle jump is a super jump, but instead of a traditional super jump that the ground because you'll be hanging onto a ledge. To super jump regularly, look at a zip line, interact, and double jump. To do this insanely easy on mouse

you have to do a little bit more work. On controller, using your face plate buttons, simply look at a zip line and in one motion, slide your thumb from the interact over to your jump. This slide motion will input two buttons for you,
which saves you time and helps you hit the second jump button a lot quicker. At like is this. Slide, press. At full speed, what it looks like is this. Slide, press. Side note, you shouldn't be pressing hard. The harder you press,
friction, the slower the inputs will be. Be gentle with it and watch your super jump on flat ground, just add a mantle to it. Head on over to a zip line and zip line and your eyes come close to the ledge, either jump or crouch off the zip
line to land in a mantle. Jumping pushes you forward and up, so jump when your pushes you forwards and down, so crouch slightly above the ledge. Now that rush anything. You just set yourself up to hitting perfect mantle jump. From
mantle jumps. One where you look up and one where you look down. To mantle jump while looking up, which is much easier, either tap S or flick your movement mantle. Once you've input to drop off the mantle, you'll unlock your camera to
This is when you'll flick your camera up and input a super jump. If you get flown you're super jumping a hair too early after you drop back, and try super second type of super jump is where you look down. Most places can use the
shorter ceilings, you're more than likely going to hit your head on them to use the looking down method. Looking down fixes this because it won't launch zip line from a lower spot. Just like before, while riding the zip line, jump
or crouch off into a mantle. Now that you're mantled again, instead of pulling body forwards by flicking your movement stick or tapping your W key. This will auto mantle you over the ledge so you don't need to hold W. Just flick it. A
little over the halfway point through the mantle animation, you're going to hold backwards on your stick or your S key. Flick your camera down at the same simultaneously, just like before. The only difference with this one is you're
going to be hitting W first to auto mantle and then hitting S afterwards to animation. The timing for this one is a little bit weird and you're going to want to super jump a little bit later in comparison to the regular version. Pro
tip that I also like to use is instead of tapping E to interact on the zip line, I like to hold E the entire time. Holding E makes it so that as soon as I zip line no matter what. And for a mechanic that has a very small window to
input a super jump, it makes it a lot more consistent. From here, there's two need to learn how to mantle jump off of. Normal ledges where jumping or crouching off will auto lock you into a mantle and block ledges that push you off and won't

climbing animation. From here, pull back on your stick or S key to perform a regular mantle jump or continue through the animation to perform a downwards directions to your mantle jump even if you're on controller. When you pull
back, turn your camera into any direction, even 180° behind you, and into that direction. If you're on mouse and keyboard, you can also add tap strafes to to as well. Start with tap strafing on 90° then 180 and eventually
you can 360° tap strafe yourself for insanely hard to track mental jumps. You can also use your directional inputs to air strafe as or your analog stick to slow yourself down in the air. That way you can land
in another mantle and super glide off of it. If this video helped you at all, supports the channel so that we can make more quick and easy to learn guides like more quick and easy to learn guides like this one here in the future.
