Ya know, I've been playing TF2 for 6 years and still can't rocket jump. I think it's about damn time I really learned how! Thanks for making the video!
Nate Fox I'm trying to practice a bit, but the console thingy doesn't work. It says "I love choco so hard" (lol) but doesn't regenerate. Maybe it changed since updates are coming out all the time?

I'd recommend using the gunboats, they give you an additional 66% percent damage resistance from your own rockets. On top of your existing 75% resistance.
This tutorial helped me so much, I couldn't pogo worth anything before this, now I can pogo decently well and can do some pretty crazy stuff. I'd like to say thanks for teaching me pretty much how to rocket jump much better
@@aquiIa_chrysaetos i have 500 hours. What’s the standard in TF2? Cuz I’ve noticed when i woope the ass of 2k + hours they point out my time and call me a noob

Your channel really is quality over quantity. I love it. I get the impression that you've been making videos like this for a while, but this is only your second video? You deserve more recognition. Keep it up. :)
@@frequencyy I'm new to rocket jumping, so I have a few questions about pogoing. 1. Do you hold any other buttons besides crouch, or just crouch? 2. Do have to slowly jolt your camera upwards with every single jump? 3. What is the best map (in-game, not custom or community) to practice pogoing? Sorry to randomly bombard you with questions, if you don't have an answer to one of these I completely understand.
@@RandomElk58 Generally you want to keep your crosshair more downwards so that it becomes easier to aim the next rocket that you will shoot, holding crouch all the time while pogoing is absolutely right and as you get more used to rocketjumping in general, holding crouch constantly while in the air will almost become a reflex since there are no downsides to it and will always help you with extending any type of jumps just like with pogoing. As with what other keys than crouch to hold while pogoing, its basically all about air strafing. Just like he explains in the video, holding down A or D whilst slowly turning your mouse is going to be the primary way you turn directions when pogoing, the same also goes with any other type of jumps. ALSO one thing i cant stress enough, if you plan on playing this game more, i widely recommend that you change your ingame internet settings, you do this by using the console for commands while in the game menu, just google "tf2 interp settings" and find the best commands to copy paste into your console, I do recommend though you simply put "cl_interp 0" as you do not want to play soldier as if youre a laggy spymain with your interp set to 500 xD. Optimizing these settings will basically make your rockets feel twice as responsive as the standard settings. Hope the length of the comment didnt bother too much :D.
Another thing, if you're very frustated, do not push yourself, that will just make the situation more severe, but instead, grab a bottle of water and drink it, wait for 5 - 10 minutes, then go outside to get a breath to *clam* your nerves. Hope this helps you guys.
Dhani Adriananta This is so freakin' true. I can rocket jump for maybe 10 - 15 minutes before i start doing bad. Maybe I'll do a run through of a map and try to do it again, then i do worse. But if you take breaks, it really helps! :D
IMPORTANT NOTE TO NEW PLAYERS: Use the gunboats! They make you take 66% less damage from your own rockets, therefore allowing you to rocket jump more. It does make you lose your shotgun however, making pyros harder to deal with.
R.I.P. Rick May, I will always remember when I began TF2 and searched up this video trying my best to Rocket Jump and this will always remind me of him.
2:02 WOW WHAT?? this guy must be the best rocket jumper in tf2 and he just did it like it was no problem AT ALL, while teaching the basics of rocket jumping
Hello, I don't play TF2 for a long time. I've been in TF2 on the day when the End Of The Line Update came out. However i can rocket jump pretty good thanks to you. However i still need to learn things like speed pogoing and Sync jumps. Thats why i'm practicing on a lot of maps. And the Exec Regen script helps pretty much.

I have been playing since tf2 became free to play, and I have been abe to get the hang of sticky jumping and sentry jumping eazily enough but rocket jumping not that much. I finally desided to get practicing and your basic and advanced video has helped out alot, I know my limits enough that I know that I'll not be able to really do stuff like trolldier or run around jump maps but its enough for playing casually. Recently, I was playing in Potato MvM severs and we were doing a team contact consisting of only stock weapons on the whole team and a competative team setup (2 Scouts, 2 Soldiers, a Medic and a Demoman), on a map that was the first time I ever played on and I was one of the soldiers and rocket jumping really helped me get back to the front alot faster than just walking.
I am subscribing to your channel because you taught me how to rocket jump. THANKS! I have been pondering on how to properly rocket jump. Thank you, again, so much!
if your hand doesn’t cramp, use ctrl. if it does, use Lshift. it depends on where you put your hands. use the key left-bottom to your left key. (ex, if your left key is A, use shift. i use Lshift.
it depends how you are starting it. assuming you are on a flat surface with nothing to walk off, you jump, then once you are falling and are halfway down to the ground, shoot your first rocket and hold down fire button. if you are going off a ledge, only shoot your first rocket when you are falling and are halfway to the ground. It could also be because you are gathering too much speed while still looking straight at the ground, try looking a few degrees further up and see if that makes a difference.
Nate Fox I can't do diddly squat, I don't know how you and Muselk do this stuff, but it's beyond me, although I want to be a great Rocket Jumper(or at lest half descent), I can't do anything, I'll just stick with Sniper.
Hi, I've got a question about rocket jumping. I turned off mouse acceleration to be better as sniper. Is that good or bad for rocket jumping? And which mouse sensitivity is good for rocket jumping? I ask you because I think you're pretty damn good at rocket jumping.
No mouse acceleration is better for everything, lol. I would suggest just leaving it off. As for mouse sensitivity I think you should just use whatever you're comfortable with. Usually I just make sure I can do a 180 degree turn by the time my mouse reaches the end of my mousepad.
Something that also helps is having a high FOV, I recommend using around 90, since you can turn off mouse acceleration and have a lower sensitivity to maintain control and accuracy, but still have quick turning movements (plus the wider field of view is excellent)
Evan Lin it increases the distance your cursor moves if you move your mouse faster. It makes it near impossible to develop muscle memory for aiming, since the distance traveled is also dependent on the speed you move your mouse at.
The description on how to get unlimited ammo and Health is really bulky, there's an easy way to get health and ammo without having to download anything. Just type in this command into console; Bind "mouse1" "+attack; impulse 101" Every time you rocket jump you regain ammo and health instantly. If you like taking long leaps and take more than 200 damage, type in this command; Hurtme -9999999 You can change the number to whatever you like but it works. Hope I helped :) Edit: Also bear in mind that once you bind the key to heal and resupply you as well as still firing your gun normally, you never have to do this again. The only time it doesn't work is in Buddha mode and without sv_cheats 1.
@@deml8553 Technically because of the way the source engine treats strafing holding w actually prevents you from strafing side to side. Any sideways movement is a result of mouse movement and not actual strafing.
@@xavier1964 Very smart and all but the source engine treats the w and s key no differently to the a and d keys. Therefore you can simply turn your view 90 degrees to either the left or right and this allows you to strafe with w and s the same way as if you were strafing with a and d. Strafing with w allows you to keep your crosshair locked on to your target while you strafe so there is an advantage to it. Combining it with regular a and d strafing will put you at an advantage over people who can only a and d strafe. it is also possible to strafe while holding 2 keys such as w and a and you just have to turn your mouse 45 degrees but this is not very useful.
@@j-swag7438 What it does is it causes your momentum to be split between the directions. Because you get all the foreward momentum you need from the jump, you should only strafe using a and d.

it took 10 goddamn years playing this game to finally try to get decent at rocket jumping. And these tutorials made it so much easier, thanks man
What's the best key to use for crouching when rocket jumping? Ctrl seems like the most inconvenient option.
if your hand doesn’t cramp, use ctrl. if it does, use Lshift. it depends on where you put your hands. use the key left-bottom to your left key. (ex, if your left key is A, use shift. i use Lshift.
i use shift to crouch
Rhigt shift would be worse
Use left shift, it's just the easiest crouch button in general.
Shift is the best
I would recommend using 'bind MOUSE1 "+attack; imulse 101"' , and using S to stop yourself midair.
For all who still want to use this, the console command is
bind mouse1 “+attack;impulse 101”
@noobmaster74 When you shoot, it refills your ammo and health
It's been a while since I have rocket jumped in tf2 so I am trying to learn again this is really helpful!
Salute to our fallen soldier
damn this is 8 years old and im using it in 2023 hello 2015
This was extremely helpful and to judge your performance in how you rocket-jump, you're a God Trolldier.
How do you pogo? I can only do the initial jump, one pogo, then i land on the ground before my rocket can fire again.
it depends how you are starting it. assuming you are on a flat surface with nothing to walk off, you jump, then once you are falling and are halfway down to the ground, shoot your first rocket and hold down fire button. if you are going off a ledge, only shoot your first rocket when you are falling and are halfway to the ground. It could also be because you are gathering too much speed while still looking straight at the ground, try looking a few degrees further up and see if that makes a difference.
Nate Fox I can't do diddly squat, I don't know how you and Muselk do this stuff, but it's beyond me, although I want to be a great Rocket Jumper(or at lest half descent), I can't do anything, I'll just stick with Sniper.
When I first started playing TF2, I just thought rocket jumping was just… looking down and shooting. This video helped me a lot, thank you.
0:38 this applies to me when i try to get to the Upward Muselk Extreme Rancho Relaxo spot under the health pack
The wall jump in jumpacademy was the hardest thing i ever did and i succeed eventually
THANK YOU I have been looking for a rocket jump tutorial forever
Rest In Peace Rick May...
So, no W key while air strafing and do we press anything else when chaining jumps? (Like do we press space when we try to chain, crouch, or nothing?)
+Giancarlo Caballero Just keep crouching, it gives you more momentum off your jumps.
+Giancarlo Caballero Sorry for the late response. You only need to press crouch when chaining jumps.
As a scout main wanting to become a soldier main, this helped alot. Thanks.
Hi, I've got a question about rocket jumping. I turned off mouse acceleration to be better as sniper. Is that good or bad for rocket jumping? And which mouse sensitivity is good for rocket jumping? I ask you because I think you're pretty damn good at rocket jumping.
No mouse acceleration is better for everything, lol. I would suggest just leaving it off. As for mouse sensitivity I think you should just use whatever you're comfortable with. Usually I just make sure I can do a 180 degree turn by the time my mouse reaches the end of my mousepad.
Nate Fox Thank you! ;)
Something that also helps is having a high FOV, I recommend using around 90, since you can turn off mouse acceleration and have a lower sensitivity to maintain control and accuracy, but still have quick turning movements (plus the wider field of view is excellent)
why is turning off mouse acceleration good?
when I turn it off, my mouse cursor feels stiff
Evan Lin it increases the distance your cursor moves if you move your mouse faster. It makes it near impossible to develop muscle memory for aiming, since the distance traveled is also dependent on the speed you move your mouse at.
I’m doing this for Rick May

THANKS FOR THIS TUTORIAL I LEARNED HOW TO USE AN HIGHER ROCKET JUMP AND LEARNED THE TRICKS OF SOLDIER. THANK YOU! KEEP SAFE
Me: I'm Gonna Play TF2
Me: *Plays*
Me: I Will Be Soldier
Me: Saw A Soldier Doing The RocketWallJump
Me: omg
*starts deja vu song*
Thank God I can finally jump high I lose my focus rocket jumping :P
I just realised this video is 10 years old wtf you had a good ass mic back then
What have I done?
I typed in "warrior cat map"
And this pops up under related xD
welcome to tf2 enjoy your stay. May starclan guide you

Thank you so so so much for making this, I've always sucked at rocket jumping but now I actually have a chance to become better at it
when i do the Pogo i want to move forward so should i keep holding "w"
Hey the link doesn't work anymore can you find another way?
ikr lol
dude. dont be stupid. make your own server, type in sv_cheats 1 in the console, then type in bind r "buddha"
@@joshuamercado2203 Josh that doesn't make you autoreload
gist.github.com/Avaray/78a5fb251e5f27108734
@@domotoroOfficial autoreload is found in advanced settings
the intro literally made my jaw drop, and he just drops it in the basic tutorial
The description on how to get unlimited ammo and Health is really bulky, there's an easy way to get health and ammo without having to download anything.
Just type in this command into console;
Bind "mouse1" "+attack; impulse 101"
Every time you rocket jump you regain ammo and health instantly. If you like taking long leaps and take more than 200 damage, type in this command;
Hurtme -9999999
You can change the number to whatever you like but it works. Hope I helped :)
Edit: Also bear in mind that once you bind the key to heal and resupply you as well as still firing your gun normally, you never have to do this again. The only time it doesn't work is in Buddha mode and without sv_cheats 1.
actually I usually strafe with the w key when I'm trying to ambush someone higher than me.
If you are holding the w key, you aren't actually strafing.
@@xavier1964 if you're in the air you can strafe with W dude
@@deml8553 Technically because of the way the source engine treats strafing holding w actually prevents you from strafing side to side. Any sideways movement is a result of mouse movement and not actual strafing.
@@xavier1964 Very smart and all but the source engine treats the w and s key no differently to the a and d keys. Therefore you can simply turn your view 90 degrees to either the left or right and this allows you to strafe with w and s the same way as if you were strafing with a and d. Strafing with w allows you to keep your crosshair locked on to your target while you strafe so there is an advantage to it. Combining it with regular a and d strafing will put you at an advantage over people who can only a and d strafe. it is also possible to strafe while holding 2 keys such as w and a and you just have to turn your mouse 45 degrees but this is not very useful.
@@j-swag7438 What it does is it causes your momentum to be split between the directions. Because you get all the foreward momentum you need from the jump, you should only strafe using a and d.
The first time I watched this, I didn't really pay attention, but the second time, I learned a lot more! Thanks
It seems you need a lot more than this to rocket jump - nah, I just have a c**ppy mouse and no mousepad.
and no reaction speed :C
marinesciencedude crap isn't a swear kiddo

Rick May you are the best, with your talent, you made Soldier great.
things I could do before this video:
Basic rocket jumping
Strafing
i can now pogo a bit
I'll just stick to Borderlands rocket jumping! Lol
SwankyTankyEngine boom X(
you will have to get weak damage rocket other wise the player will enter fight for your life
Borderlands rocket jumping is hard as hell.
@@tuwoast I just stick to grenades in BL2
wow i never knew that such an old video would be so helpful
I try that can I almost did it
