The superglide is a frame-perfect movement that occurs at the end of a mantle animation. By pressing jump and crouch on the exact same frame, the player receives a massive velocity boost.
In Apex Legends , the superglide1.cfg file is a core component of a configuration chain designed to automate the "superglide" movement mechanic. While players can perform this move manually, the cfg method utilizes a script to exploit the game's physics by lowering the framerate during a specific window, making the frame-perfect timing significantly easier to achieve. Mechanics of the Superglide Script
: It binds a specific key (often "V" or a mouse wheel direction) to execute both the jump/crouch inputs and the command to run the next configuration file in the chain. superglide1.cfg
Resets the framerate and returns keys to their default state. Current Status and Controversies
To use these files, players generally place them in the game's cfg folder and add +exec superglide1.cfg to their game's launch options. superglide1.cfg Caps FPS and sets up the primary input key for the glide. superglide2.cfg Triggers the actual jump and crouch inputs. superglide3.cfg The superglide is a frame-perfect movement that occurs
: For those who prefer manual play, tools like the MokeySniper Superglide Trainer help players practice the timing without scripts. Specialized hardware, such as the Wooting 60HE, can also improve consistency through adjustable actuation points.
: Many players consider using configurations for movement mechanics to be a form of "soft cheating," as it replaces a difficult skill with a scripted automation. While players can perform this move manually, the
