Different mercs jump differently?

(n-x) #1

Are there trick jumps you can do with let’s say Proxy you can’t do with Rhino. I know, they have different ground speeds. But what when it comes to jump height and jump distance?

(LoliGagging) #2

Yes, there isn’t a difference in height I believe but there’s a difference in distance. I can only think of one atm which is on first obj on terminal where if you’re an 80 or 90 hp merc, you can do a trick jump over the gate. It may be possible with phoenix but I don’t think anyone slower can do it.

No there isnt, I dont remember where i read it but i read somewhere all the merc could do the same trickjump there is no difference in height but there is a difference in speed.
You can do the same trickjump with proxy and rhino but rhino will do it slower. After that there is certain augment that impact the jumps

Apparently I asked @Faraleth that and if I’m not wrong, he told me that all mercs have the same jump distance, but different jump velocity. But I still feel I just can’t make jumps with Rhino I did with lighter mercs, so I suspect they have different jumping distances.

What @Jostabeere said is true. :slight_smile:

@Faraleth so his suspision is wrong and you should technically be able to do all jumps with all mercs?

(Jostabeere) #7

Which part is true. The fact that all mercs DO HAVE the same jumping distance, or that they don’t?
For example I tried to do the flank jump on chapel to get to the last MG with Rhino, and I couldn’t do it for minutes, and my post is basically a contradiction itself.

Height is same i can tell you that but i think the distance is different because slower merc -> less meter traveled in a second.(Velocity as said above) It would be hilarious if Rhino would have the same speed and distance as a Aura because then you would jump and be on par in speed with Aura.

Long jumps are another story but well ive seen plenty Sparks jump like 30m distance and like atleast 8m high with wall long jump but ive never seen rhino doing that neither i could imagine it, common flying pigs?

Your mercs hurtbox size factors into some jumps because if you’re too big it can make some things more difficult or require a different method.

Also, if you’re playing a slower merc you are not going to jump as far simply due to velocity. It’s easily seen with the jump on Chapel next to where the EV parks. Rhino can barely make it over the railing but Aura will fly up over it easily and slam into the wall. So a faster merc makes the jump a bit easier. There are quite a few merc specific jumps but only a few that are useful in everyday play.

I can do every trick jump in the OG maps with rhino, so I don’t think there is. Idk about dome or exe jumps but I’m assuming anything a aura can do so can rhino.

There are a few jumps with hidden collision that a merc with a larger hitbox can’t make. I can think of a couple on Terminal.

Keep in mind that alot of those jumps need precise timing, and both the travelspeed before a jump and the difference in viewing height makes it harder to judge the right jump point going from a very fast merc to a very slow one.
