'''''Shotgunfly''''' is a very rarely seen flying technique in DDNet maps. It is not possible to stay in the air using a shotgun alone, but it can be done with two players. One of the players would usually be frozen deep. The other one has the shotgun. | '''''Shotgunfly''''' is a very rarely seen flying technique in DDNet maps.

The idea behind Shotgunfly is that the player dragging the dummy shoots themselves with a shotgun just after the dummy bumps into them from below. The bump from the dummy slightly increases the player's height, and the shot from the shotgun accelerates this height increase, allowing the player to stay in the air. | The idea behind Shotgunfly is that the player dragging the dummy shoots themselves with a shotgun just after the dummy bumps into them from below.

Because Shotgunfly requires narrow, mostly horizontal corridors and a high level of skill, it is not commonly found in normal DDNet maps. | |||

To initiate a shotgunfly, start somewhere where it is possible (low unhookable ceiling, shotgun). When both are on ground. Hook the dummy and jump to the top-left or top-right. | To initiate a shotgunfly, start somewhere where it is possible (low unhookable ceiling, shotgun). When both are on ground.
