New Tutorial for “Echos of the Sentients” for parkour.

• Bullet Jump (crouch+jump)

                   - looking down will propel you up (reversed vectors)

• Double Jump (Jump+Jump)
• Aim Glide (TIMED) (Jump+ RMB or aim) 

                   - extends jumps and allows to target enemies in air.

                   - Allows players to block while aim gliding.

                   - Timer refilled when on the ground

• Wall Latch (TIMED) (RMB/AIM near the wall)

                   - Timer refilled when on the ground

• More responsive to input direction
• Promote more diverse weapon use with the new mobility systems because people no longer have to use “copter weapons”
• Wall climbing/running (move along/toward the wall and tap Jump)
• Zephyr’s skills can be used in conjunction with parkour 2.0
• Zip lines 

                   - will allow you to mount (jump near the zip lines) 

                   - run up or down the zip line instead of just zip-lining down

                   - Dodges also available in air
                   - Auto rolls removed
                   - Heavy landings can be cancelled by dodging before landing

Q: Why was coptering removed?

A: 

                   - Hard to do

                   - Tied to melee weapons (limits choices)

                   - Melee weapon choice has to be about tactics vs mobility
