Echo Arena

Boost/Boosting

Stun Boosting Stunning an opponent by punching them in the opposite direction you want to go. If both are still then you will gain 1.1 speed in that direction. A  higher level of stun boosting is boosting off of an opponent's head and tapping the trigger as you let go to gain an additional 1.1 to 1.9 m/s on top of your 4 m/s boost.

Boop Shot

A trick shot done by first starting in one of the tunnels then throwing the disk so it bounces over cloud and into the goal, used to get around floating players or players on nugget.

PE Joust

A method of boosting from the tunnels by starting further back than the ring, then starting to regrab before the tunnel doors open, allowing you to generate more speed than using the launch ring.

Stacks/Stacking

Whirly Twirly

The act of using pitch and/or roll in conjunction with a shot in order to obfuscate the angle of release, making it more difficult for a goalie or defenseman to track.

Trennis

A game played where the trench geometry/location would be used as a court, players would take turns back-and-fourth slapping the disc. The goal of the game is to slap the disc and have the disc fly out on the opponents side/go past the opponents.

Old/Patched-out

Parachuting

A technique used where grabbing onto your back accessory, reduces your player speed to 0.0 m/s. This was able to be preformed in the days prior to the first Echo Pass release. This was patched out after it became prevalent in public matches.

PTS/Public Testing Server

On January 22nd, 2021, Ready At Dawn posted an application for players to test the first versions of the Echo Pass. This was going to be hosted on different servers of Echo VR for testers, separate from normal Echo VR. Hence the name, Public Testing Servers, or PTS for short. The Public Testing Servers went live on January 25th, and Ready At Dawn would continue to run the servers and continue to add applicants from time to time. The servers would close on February 18th, 2021, for the official release of season 1 of the Echo Pass. Prior to the launch of the Echo Pass, the Echo VR community soon saw the new tints were ineffective and the new Echo Chassis colors can be easily mistaken for another team color. Another PTS application would be opened on April 2nd, 2021, and the PTS servers would be re-opened for another test on April 8th, 2021. The PTS servers would continue to run until April 12th, 2021. Then on September 12, 2022 Ready At Dawn once again started a PTS, this was the Goalie Validation PTS and was to test a new way of goal validation process to keep better track of goalie saves and goal scoring (more information), It was in effect until September 23, 2022.
