A guide showcasing the usefulness of vaulting and jumping in Hunt: Showdown. With spots that will help you traverse the map better, or give you an advantage against other players.
Vaulting and Jumping in Hunt: Showdown
Сrеdit gоеs to kenny!
Information
Before reading this guide, I would recommended mapping vault and jump to separate keys on your keyboard. It helps a lot when attempting some of these, and will also help general gameplay. I personally use V for vault, and Space for jump. When vaulting, you should be holding your forward key at all times.
Warning: Hunt desyncs very hard sometimes, and especially when you have higher ping. Some of these will be super inconsistent but are still possible when after a few tries. For some context, I play on US West servers from Canada and have 80 ping constantly and can do all of them after a few tries.
This guide is sorted alphabetically, with each area being sorted most useful to least useful.
I provide both text/image guides & video guides for every vault/jump.
Text Guides
Text guides will include a brief description of where to go, and the path to take. With the provided images, I have highlighted the path with corresponding colours.

- Orange – Crouch
Video Guides
Video guides will be a short video showing the area, and the path to take with the vaults/jumps included. No voiceovers will be included.
