Detailed specifics
By holding L1/LB on a gamepad, the user is given control over a hovering waypoint cursor.
While in this mode, the user can freely move the cursor and place it on any traversable surface, within a set range. The user can then press the jump input to directly jump to the marked location, allowing for very specific and precise platform jumping.
