People Also Ask

What does wallbang mean in gaming?

It's killing an enemy by shooting a bullet through a wall or other penetrable surface. You hit them without direct line of sight.

What makes a good wallbang spot?

Thin walls and predictable enemy positions make the best spots, since bullets lose less damage and you know where to aim. Pros memorize these spots per map.

Is wallbang the same as a prefire?

Not exactly. A prefire is shooting before you see the enemy, and a wallbang shoots through cover. Many wallbangs are also prefires, but not all.
