Backtracking

When you realise something you did wasn’t as good as you thought so you have to hurry the fuck jo and fix it.
A good case of backtracking:

“HIS NAME WAS SEBASTIAN AT BIRTH BUT HE HAD TO CHANGE IT WHEN HE FAKED HIS DEATH. HES STILL HARRY STYLES AND WILL CONTINUE TO BE REFERRED TO AS HARRY NOT SEBASTIAN. ITS STILL AND ALWAYS HAS BEEN A HARRY FIC LMAODNDJD ok im gonna go stare at a wall now”

Backtracking

A added feature in popular PVPVE game Sea of Thieves.
Was added as a skill-gap between the more knowledgeable players and the newer players, giving newer players a slight advantage over the experienced Pirates.
Backtracking means shooting a player behind his character, yet the shoot is still hitting them making the other player take damage.

The Rule of Backtracking

The Rule of Backtracking mainly applies to the game Dead Space, where the player does a lot of backtracking throughout the levels. Basically, if you leave an area where you've killed monsters and then come back, those monsters will have mysteriously respawned. It's handy for players to know, especially on Impossible Mode, that just because you have cleared out an area does not mean that it's totally safe for the rest of the game.
Pedro: What the heck is this crap? Man, I swore I cleaned out this area, and now there are more monsters! I don't have any med packs left!
Napoleon: Dude, the Rule of Backtracking, man.
*player is mauled to death by a Necromorph*
Napoleon: Told you.
