Wall Latch and Wall Hop

Explanation

Warframes can interact with walls. Wall latch lets you hold onto a wall for a short time while aiming. Wall hop lets you jump along or away from walls. Both help when you miss a jump, need to climb, need to stay off the ground briefly, or need to recover after hitting a wall at speed.

Controls and smart use

These are default controls. If you changed keybinds, follow the action name in Options > Controls instead of the exact button.

• Wall latch: contact a wall and hold aim. PC default aim is right mouse button; controller default aim is left trigger.
• Wall hop: press jump while touching or moving along a wall. PC default is Space; controller default is the jump button.
• Use wall latch to pause for a moment, shoot from a wall, or recover after missing a platform.
• Use wall hop to climb, redirect yourself, or escape ground danger after hitting a vertical surface.
• Leave the wall quickly once you have control. Staying latched too long slows the mission and can make you an easy target.

What should I do?

Use wall movement as recovery first. Bullet jump toward a wall or ledge, touch the wall if you miss the landing, wall hop or latch, aim toward the platform, then jump back to safety.

How do I avoid wasting time?

Do not cling to walls for no reason. Wall latch is useful, but standing still on a wall can make you an easy target and slow down the mission.

Common mistakes

Watch for these patterns while practicing.

• Panicking after hitting a wall.
• Holding onto a wall too long.
• Wall hopping away from the objective.
• Ignoring wall movement entirely and falling into pits repeatedly.

Practical example

You miss a jump in a Grineer tile. Instead of falling, you catch the wall, hop upward, aim glide, and land on the platform.
