Boosting

From wiki.soldat.nl

Boosting is the act of increasing the momentum of oneself or another player. There are three ways to boost:

[edit] Shooting Backwards

Boosting oneself can be achieved by shooting opposite of the moving direction. A common example for this type of boost is minigunsurfing. The SPAS-12's recoil can also be used to boost oneself somewhat faster than normal.

[edit] Bullets

Shooting teammates will boost them in the direction of the shots. The HK MP5 and the SPAS-12 are two of the best team bullet-boosting weapons in the game.

[edit] Explosions

This is the most powerful boost if done correctly. All one has to do is make an explosion occur nearby oneself. An easy way to achieve this is by shooting the M79 onto the ground underneath one while one is in mid-air. Although this will result in the loss of health, it is sometimes worth it, like in the case of running with the flag, or attempting to surprise enemies from above. You can also boost with grenades, by throwing them into colliders while running past them to increase your speed. There is also a "super" boost. You do the super boost by throwing a grenade and shooting it with the m79 for a very high increase in speed. This however can easilly kill you if not done properly and can not be done with more than half health remaining. It is very usefull in maps with easy access to the flag and a lot of place to boost to(Like Ash, B2b, ...) when you want to run away with the flag really fast.
