Mechanics
In this section, we will take a closer look at game mechanics and learn how to use them to full potential.
Front Dash
Simply hold W and press Q to dash forward quickly. This move is a great way to close the gap on your opponent and set up your attacks. Be careful, though, as the front dash can be blocked. If you’re not careful, you might leave yourself open to a counterattack.
NOTE: FRONT DASHES SHARE A COOLDOWN WITH BACK DASHES!
Back Dash
Hold S and press Q to zoom backwards, catching up to opponents or evading attacks with ease. This move is so fast, you’ll be surprised you don’t leave a sonic boom behind.
NOTE: SHARES A COOLDOWN WITH FRONT DASH!
Side Dash
Hold S or D and press Q to perform a side dash. This move is incredibly useful for dodging attacks, as it doesn’t share a cooldown with front and back dashes. Meaning you can quickly dash in any direction to avoid danger, or to get the perfect angle on an enemy.
Burst
Bursts are a form of evasive in Pirates Battlegrounds that replace ragdoll cancels in other games. A player can use burst to blast anyone who is near them away to give them some breathing room to think and plan their next attack.
