==Movements==
=== Walking===
Walking is the basic form of movement in nico’s nextbots and is the easiest to perform. While walking, players cannot crash doors off their hinges or break windows, and it is not fast enough to escape from nextbots.
Walking can be performed by:
*Pressing on the user's keyboard (PC)
*Using the movement joystick (Mobile)
*Using the left joystick (XBOX, PlayStation)
===Running ===
Running, or sprinting, increases the player’s speed for faster movement. It can be helpful for escaping from nextbots, although they might still catch up. While running, players can also crash open doors and break windows.
Running can be performed by:
*Pressing and holding key (PC)
* Using the movement joystick (Mobile)
*Pressing the on the controller (XBOX)
*Press the on the controller (PlayStation)
There is an option to make running a toggle rather than holding down the button, but this is only supported on PC.
===Crouching===
Crouching reduces the player’s speed and brings them closer to the ground.
Crouching can be done by:
*Pressing or and holding it down (PC)
*Tapping the crouch button (Mobile)
*Pressing on controller (XBOX)
*Pressing on controller (PlayStation)
There is an option to make it a toggle rather than having to hold down the button but it is only supported on PC.
=== Sliding ===
Sliding is a temporary speed boost where the player slides across the floor. Sliding should only be used when going through small holes where a standing player would otherwise not fit as your speed is massively decreased at the end of the slide. Sliding formerly did not slow you down at the end of the animation, which made it an easy way to escape nextbots.
Sliding can be done by: 
*Pressing or while sprinting is active (PC)
*Tapping the crouch button (Mobile)
*Pressing on controller while sprinting is active (XBOX)
*Pressing on controller while sprinting is active (PlayStation)
There was previously a glitch where if you were to slide into a corner or slide into a wall at a certain angle you can actually clip through it which makes entering nn_backrooms easier.
===Bunny hopping===
Bunny hopping, in short b-hopping is a type of technique. It is performed by jumping while running and jumping again the moment you hit the floor. This must be done with precise timing as you will otherwise not gain speed at all. Bunny hopping gives you much more momentum and allows you to outrun most nextbots.
B-hopping can be performed by:
* Repeatedly spamming the bar on the user's keyboard when hits the ground (PC)
* Repeatedly spamming the jump button when hits the ground (Mobile)
*Repeatedly spamming the button on the controller when hits the ground (XBOX). Alternatively, jumping can be done with pressing both and at the same time.
*Repeatedly spamming the button on the controller when hits the ground (PlayStation). Alternatively, jumping can be done with pressing both and at the same time.
Formerly, a bug existed wherein using an FPS unlocker enabled the player to Bhop much more effectively. This was patched in the physics overhaul update.
Bhopping allows you to get bonus points if done consecutively, along with a high speed. If you B-hop 50 times, you'll create a B-hop chain, and if you get 100 B-hops, you'll get +100 scores.
===Jump-sliding ===
Jump-sliding or slide-jumping is a combination of two movement techniques. It is done by running and pressing the buttons to slide and jump at the same time, causing the player to simultaneously jump and slide mid-air. Without the friction of the ground slowing the slide down, this allows you to garner a massive boost of speed in an instant. Due to the changes in movement and sliding in particular, this is no longer an effective tactic. 
Jump-sliding can by peformed by: 
*While sprinting is active, press bar and or at the same time. (PC)
*While sprinting, press the jump button and the crouch button at the same time. (Mobile)
*While sprinting is active, press the and button on the controller at the same time. (XBOX)
*While sprinting is active, press the and button on the controller at the same time. (PlayStation)
Players used to be able to jump-slide from or unto ramps letting them gain tremendous speed, other wise known as trimping. 
===Ragdolling===
Ragdolling is a feature where the player will fall to the ground with control.
Ragdoll can be performed by: 
*Press the key on the user's keyboard (PC)
*Pressing the ragdoll button (Mobile)
*Pressing both and on the controller at the same time (XBOX)
*Pressing both and on the controller at the same time (PlayStation)
Pressing again will make the player stand up again. This is mostly done for comedic effect or for glitching. It was introduced in the overhaul update on the 10/15/2022. When ragdolling, two black bars will appear at the top and bottom of your screen, you won't be able to move until you stand back up by pressing the ragdoll button again.
In the new Outbreak patch (05/29/2023), you can now nudge/move yourself while ragdolled.
===Airstrafing===
Airstrafing is a movement feature where players are able to control their character mid-air whilst retaining their speed. Unlike in other games, you do not need to press A and D to airstrafe.
===Trimping===
Trimping is a feature in Nico's Nextbots where if you slide or bunnyhop on a sloped area you can be flung into the air. Following the Arcade Update, you get bonus points for trimping. Trimping is a common bug known in other games such as TF2 and Evade. 
In some updates in Nico's Nextbots, trimping doesn't fling you as high as it used to, launching you less than half as high as it originally used to.
=== Wall Hugging ===
Wall Hugging is an unintended feature that happens when you collide with an apartment Wall in nn_russia. While it doesn't have to be just these walls, this feature can support any wall in any map whether or not it's invisible or visible to players.
When you wallhug, your falling speed will be highly decreased, allowing you to stay mid-air for a very long time.
=== Slide redirect===
Slide redirect is a movemnt ability where you have to go around 50 speed (fx.bunny hoping), then you have to slide, turn 180° and jump in the slide animtaion while being rotated 180°.
