What is the G-Walk in Modern Warfare 2 & Warzone 2?
On November 21, a community of Modern Warfare 2 players known as EuphoriaDream introduced a movement trick called the ‘G-Walk’ in a clip that shows their character repeatedly changing stances while moving around the map.
The Operator’s motions are much harder to predict because of their constantly shifting stance and erratic movement, making them an extremely difficult target for opponents to lock on to. Players who master the movement are essentially remaining prone while moving at full speed.

- Launch Modern Warfare 2 and head to Settings
- Head to Keyboard and Mouse Settings then navigate to Gameplay
- Switch Automatic Sprint to Off
- Turn Tactical Sprint Behavior to Single Tap Sprint
- Head to the Keybinds tab

- Alternate between pressing the sprint button and moving the scroll wheel down to G-Walk in Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2
Can you G-Walk on a controller?
You technically can G-Walk on a controller, but you’ll need to download third-party software and use macros to do it. We wouldn’t recommend doing this as you will risk getting flagged by RICOCHET anti-cheat and receiving a ban.
It’s likely that the G-Walk exploit will be patched in a future update, perhaps alongside December 14’s Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2 Season 1 Reloaded, but it could be before.
