Javelin problems


(OwynTyler) #1

Played her a while, here are few funny (annoying things)

  • If you shoot much you can just go 0\0 ammo and that weird ammo passive won’t activate to give you any…

  • few sec delay between firing a rocket makes it feel super-unresponsive and feel broken (huh wtf it doesn’t fire?! it broke?!)

  • you can fire a guided rocket after you died cuz of previous and it woul make rocket just fly in super slow motion till it explodes :hushed:

When I respawned I tried to kill it with an axe but couldn’t… seems like a hitbox problem with killing the rocket with melee weapons, but shot it down and suicded later sucessfully

Yeah, stumbled upon this cartoony physics. Only the hovering rocket exploded after getting revived…

Yes this happens almost all the times u are killed when firing a rocket. Funny thing it actually flies in the opposite direction you shot it. Really really slowly.

I have the same impression. Maybe adding a charging sound like we have on the RevivR ?

Has anybody else noticed when Javelin is killed, her corpse often glitches out very briefly on the ground before settling? My guess is the game is rapidly flipping through some possible orientation for her corpse before finally deciding on one.

The hitbox on the rocket also appears massive. That or the fact that the rocket launch feels kinda unresponsive so I don’t know the timing on the launch yet. But several times while trying to use the rocket while strafing behind cover, I’ve rocketed my cover resulting in a nice suicide.

Really not a fan of how you have to switch to the rocket, then charge it or whatever with RMB unlike say Fragger where the ability key is the same as the cooking / throw key.

Read the known issues section in the update notes :slight_smile:

I fired a rocket through the stairs that lead down to the 3rd objective on bridge…was a Fletcher coming at me trying to sticky me and I was gonna give him some of his explosive medicine and he stuck me, I shot, I died, no boom boom, and the Fletcher got away free.
