2. Vault

  • How: Sprint toward a waist-high obstacle and jump just before contact.

  • When: Keep momentum through cluttered streets or parkour courses.

3. Wall Run

  • How: Jump at an angle toward a wall, hold forward, then jump again to launch off.

9. Active Landing

  • Agility skill unlock: Roll just before impact to negate fall damage.

  • Tip: Essential for daring rooftop leaps during night hunts.

10. Grappling Hook Swing

  • Aim to the side and hold the tool button to build swing momentum, perfect for wide canyons or rivers.

🩸 Parkour in Combat: Hit-and-Run Tactics

  • Stay High: Drop-attack or throw projectiles from rooftops.

  • Use the Environment: Lure enemies into traps or explosive barrels.

  • Bait-and-Switch: Separate tough enemies like Goons, then finish them solo.

⚠️ Common Parkour Mistakes

  • Spamming Jump: Breaks flow—time each leap.

  • Looking Down: Always keep eyes on the landing spot.

  • Ignoring Stamina: An empty bar means a deadly stumble.

  • Fighting Every Battle: Mobility > brute force—know when to run.

🏋️ Practice Makes Perfect

Find a safe rooftop loop near the first safe zone to train.

When you can slide into a vault, wall run, and leap across rooftops without hesitation, you’ll truly rule Castor Woods.
