High Wall Jump

   

In Quake III Arena, High Wall Jump is a movement skill that became popular among DeFraG runners. Trick includes and uses the player model's collision to jump higher again from a solid corner. Simply hug and jump up to a knee high ledge (100-125 units high) and hold down the jump button for a small while then tap it again once midair as you're about to step on the ground.

Player model will hit its -what described as- knees at the edge of the solid surface then perform a jump that is higher after a simple tap. If timing is right, player will perform a second jump that is notably higher.

To properly do it in Q3A, player must have FPS locked in 75 or 125 frame rates, and it's the only movement skill in Quake 3 Arena to require an frame rate lock. In Quake Live, player should be able to do that in any frame rate without that requirement.

Most notable arena to practice that trick would be Q3DM13: Lost World, Megahealth can be reached with a High Wall Jump or a Strafe Jump. This trick can be used at any large steps, any small protruding ledges and any flight of stairs or ramps may have sidewalks, where player can perform it.
