How to STRAFE, BHOP and SURF on CS2 (easy)

BHOP ?

The BHOP mechanic was originally a bug in the Source game engine, which is why bhopping also works in other Valve games like Half-Life. Over time, BHOP became a popular mechanic, especially after players like Phoon used it to win games effortlessly. You can watch how he used BHOP in Counter-Strike: Source here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SNvDUO42Hys&ab_channel=eBATEY.

So, how do you BHOP? First, it’s essential to understand strafing. Strafing is a movement technique that involves releasing your W key while in mid-air and holding either A or D. At the same time, you need to move your camera toward the side of the key you pressed. The goal? To gain speed! By using a strafe jump, you can exceed the normal speed limit (typically 250 u/s when running straight with a knife) and sometimes reach up to 300 u/s under certain conditions.

Once you’re strafing mid-air, the aim is to maintain the speed you've gained and build up even more. To do this, you’ll need to BHOP, timing your jump to land perfectly on the exact frame each time you touch the ground. This way, you keep all your accumulated speed.

Strafing (have to know that to BHOP)

To begin, you have to learn the strafe mechanic. So how to strafe ?
step 1- Run full speed
step 2- Jump
step 3- Release the W key (in air) (IMPORTANT)
step 4- Hold A or D (in air)
step 5- Move your camera gently on the left side if you pressed A, on the right side if you pressed D

If you manage to do all theses steps you should gain speed when you are in the air.
BTW few players dont know how to strafe because of the step 3 that is difficult to do because of the habit to always press W .

You can use this mechanic to check or bait an angle quickly without taking risks, you can also use it to do some usefull jump like this:

Now you know how to strafe ! You can now train your strafing by doing usefull jumps on map

BHOP

The most difficult part of bhoping, jumping at the right time. Basically in the state of Counter Strike today you have to click the right tick (1/64 luck) you can reduce the luck factor by training the timing of your jumps.
So, to begin Bhoping you have to do a strafe, then right before land on the gorund, jump ! "But i cant manage to jump at the right time" Yes, because you use your spacebar to bhop. You have to bind your mousewheel to jump, by doing that you can send the information "i want to jump" at the server multiples times, but becarefull abusing the scrollwheel will result in a short suspension of the jump action, so you cannot just roll your mousewheel continually.

As i was saying you must bind your scrollwheel, to do that you need the console.

How to get the console:
https://gamerant.com/cs2-enable-console-best-console-commands/

Then you have to enter this line of command to bind ur scrollwheel:

mwheelup +jump for the up scroll.

mwheeldown +jump for the down scroll.

BTW binding your mousewheel do affect the luck factor of your BHOP because you want to jump at one tick at multiples times.

We can now begin to BHOP:

step 1- Strafe.
step 2- Scroll your wheel when you think your character is about to land.
step 3- Verify if your BHOP worked (no speed after jump = failed, same speed after jump =success).
step 4- Strafe.

Now you can BHOP !



BTW to be honnest performing 1 bhop for 30 try is really good when you just learned bhop

How can i use BHOP

Theres multiples way to use BHOP at your advantage. Heres a list that provides what you can do with BHOP ranked by difficulty:

EASY:
Somes Jumps like the Silo jump on nuke for example
Peak an angle without taking risk (mid on dust 2)
MID:
Some jumps (window to vault jump on mirage)
Fast Vault on mirage
HARD:
Some jumps (hot to silo on A site of nuke)
Speed boost surf (on the ramps of overpass)
VERYHARD:
Some jumps (box to pillar behind chair in mid mirage)
BHOP peak
INSANELYHARD:
Constent BHOP
Constent speed boost

As you can see you can do many things usefull with BHOP, and you can do all of theses things by practicing a little.

Fast vault:

Window to vault jump:

Back BHOP peak:

Why i cant BHOP

So, you’re here to troubleshoot. Here are some common issues and how to address them:

"I can’t gain speed by jumping."

This is the most common issue. When you strafe, it’s crucial to release the [W] key. It may feel awkward at first, but with practice, it will feel more natural.

"I can’t BHOP, even though I’m doing everything right."

Don’t worry, this is normal. Since the CS2 update, a new system called subtick was introduced. The subtick system captures all the commands you input, even if you didn’t press them exactly on the right tick. However, this can slightly delay your actions. So, if you don’t land on the ground at precisely the right tick, it’s difficult to execute a perfect BHOP. After the CS2 update unfortunately bhoping is luck based.

BTW you can add a bind to set your max fps at 32 to bhop more consitently (dont forget to add a bind to uncap your fps).

"I can’t jump again after missing a BHOP."

This happens because you’re likely “spamming” your mouse wheel. In CS2, if you scroll too frequently, the game may restrict further jumps. Try scrolling more slowly or with a lighter touch.

"I can’t gain speed by strafing."

Sometimes, this is due to incorrect strafing technique. To gain speed, you need to move your camera by at least 30 degrees, smoothly and steadily. If you move the camera too slowly, you won’t complete the strafe in time. If you move it too quickly, your movement can’t adjust to the sudden change in direction, which will interrupt the strafe. Also note that you are speed cap at 300 velocity by performing only BHOP.

"I’ve heard of macros or aliases."

Yes, but they’ve been entirely removed from the game and are now banned because they were too powerful. A few months ago, you could use aliases to improve your BHOP consistency, but that’s no longer possible.

Surfing

You now know how to BHOP and how to strafe, you can now learn surfing. Now worries, nothing's hard.

Surfing is basically "surf" into a triangle, a triangle hitbox of course. Its basically the best way to gain speed really fast with no cap.
Then why do i need surfing ? "Because its cool and usefull" With surf you can play cool surf maps or use it in game
How do i use surf in my games? Heres a list of what you can do with surf :

EASY:
All drops nuke drop from heaven, overpass from heaven B
MEDIUM:
Gain speed, theres some ramps that you can use to gain speed to perform an insane BHOP on overpass and nuke.
HARD:
False Edgebug, falling into a triangle ( bunch of pixels wide) to not take fall damages
VERYHARD:
Edgebug, falling into a triangle (one pixel wide) to not take fall damages

"Well, so how do i surf ?"

By following theses steps:

step 1- Land on a triangle hitbox by jumping to get speed from the landing.
step 2- strafe on the hitbox, so NO W only A and D and move your camera gently.
step 3- Either BHOP at the end to keep the speed.
step 4- Or, strafe into the triangle to get up into it.

Advanced BHOP

So now you can BHOP, Surf and strafe, do you know you can also perform back bhop and side bhop? Now worries its the same thing, i swear.

How to back, side BHOP ?
its basically the same thing as BHOPING but Strafing is different :

Remember:

step 1- Strafe.
step 2- Scroll your wheel when you think your character is about to land.
step 3- Verify if your BHOP worked (no speed after jump = failed, same speed after jump =success).
step 4- Strafe.

Back BHOP:

step 1- Run full speed with S key
step 2- Jump
step 3- Release the S key (in air) (IMPORTANT)
step 4- Hold A or D (in air)
step 5- Move your camera gently on the left side if you pressed A, on the right side if you pressed D

Side BHOP

step 1- Run full speed with A key or D
step 2- Jump
step 3- Release the key that you used to run(in air) (IMPORTANT)
step 4- Hold W or S (in air)
step 5- Move your camera gently on the left side or at the right side.
