How fast can you run with special ability items in your hands?


(ProfPlump) #1

This may have been answered already, but how since the Cricket Bat and Kukri slow down your top speed by a tiny bit, I’m wondering if it would be faster or not to hold a Motion Sensor/Sticky Bomb/Grenade/Defibs in your hands instead?

Because of the way private servers work I can never join one on my own to test this, so does anyone already know?

You run at full speed, akin to a knife, with most ability items. The exceptions are things like turrets, stations and artillery/laser spotters.

Even Phantom can do it by pressing 4.

What do you mean? Bring down the console and write changelevel obj_whitechapel for example. Then there are some commands to switch merc, weapon, items, give infinite HP and no CD on your abilities which I can’t remember in my head.

I can’t JOIN private matches…

Does something make it so you can’t test this in a live game? o.o

Also, he isn’t talking about private matches, but a ‘localhost’ server where you can use commands to switch abilities and maps to test things. It is the only truly ‘private’ mode where you can do things alone. If you are talking about a minimum 5 man private match that has a password then you two are talking about different things.

Well I’d want to test it by timing a run through a part of the map, but if I did it in a public match I’d probably get killed. The best case scenario would still leave my team with a man down (since I’d be running around on my own not playing the objective) so I don’t want to do that.

Prof dearie, you need to grab your morning coffee ^^

Localhost offline mode =/= private match =/= public server.

Hit console, type switchlevel obj_whitechapel for example and you’re in Chapel to test out some fanciness mentioned. Timings specifically.

Hat raise for kAndyREW!

I believe they run at 100% full speed for all that is able to sprint. And this pisses me off because of that weird ass unnecessary nerf in speed for melees just for Phantom’s tsunami overkill which wasn’t necessary either. Now I need to remember to pull out my pistol instead of melees if it’s kukri or the cricket bat that I’m wielding.

I asked this @Faraleth and I believe that things like medpacks or ammo packs and passive ability items slow you down to 97.5% But my memory is meh and maybe he can clear it up if I’m wrong.

Well what about Fletcher BL32 vs BL33 ?

If I run with my stickies out with both loadouts, am I gonna be 2.5% faster with the BL32 because it has stiletto instead of cricket bat? or are they same speed with stickies out?

Stickies have their own penalty, and not the penalty of the melee you have right now.

It depends of the ability. You won’t run as fast with the GL out than with the Stickybombs for exemple.
