Tumble (Q) is your go-to move for getting out of bad situations. It’s a quick dodge that lets you dive out of danger, whether that’s an enemy attack or just poor life choices. Here’s a bit more information explaining what Tumble is and how it works.
How Tumble Works:
Press Q, and your character rolls in the direction you’re moving.
Helps you dodge attacks, escape tight spots, and move faster when needed.
Doesn’t make you invincible—bad timing still gets you hit.
When to Use It:
Dodging enemy swings instead of taking them to the face.
Escaping corners when you’ve looted yourself into a trap.
Closing distance faster when grabbing loot before someone (or something) else does.
Tumble Launch Upgrade ($4K-5K):
Increases your dodge roll distance, making it easier to escape or reposition.
Lets you cover more ground faster, which is great when running for your life.
Worth it if you find yourself barely missing dodges or just want to roll like you mean it.
Final Blurb:
Tumble is falling with style, but without the upgrade, it’s more of a polite trip forward. If you’re serious about survival, upgrading can turn it into a real escape tool.
