Need Your Help! Mythbuster Ideas.


(APRenpsy) #1

So this is a idea I had planned to do for a while now, but never really had the time or resources to do.

Basically I want to do a Dirty Mythbuster’s series. Honestly really surprised no one has done anything like that yet.

So how does this work? Well first off I need Myths, the recording comes later but right now I need stuff that people have question about regarding the game. It can be anything from stuff that would actually help out new players, to stuff that don’t really affect anything.

I will give out a couple of ideas to help out. Note these aren’t true/false, they are just myths.

  • If you stand still on Trainyard, the train will not hit you.
  • If a enemy is standing on top of a downed ally you can damage and revive both with Sparks Revivr
  • All throwables can be shot in mid-air
  • Fletcher sticky bombs stick to anything even stuff in mid-air
  • Aura station works though walls
  • You can shoot though wood as well as glass

Can you shoot Fletchers bombs in his hands? What about fraggers?

How many people can a bullet go through? Is there a difference between guns e.g. An m9 and a sniper?

Is it better to run with a cricket bat or a pistol?

If you stand on skyhammers flare, does it cancel the air strike? What if he stands on his own?

I know I’ve phrased then as question, sorry. Also please let us know when you’ve recorded, I for one am extremely interested.

Engineers got infine C4 in execution, even if they dont carry the bomb
You will run faster with some abilities than with the cricket bat, example, sparks med packs

Sure thing! It be about two to three weeks from now, got to finish up them finals.

I believe this has since been changed, but at one point Sparks could simultaneously head shot someone and revive a teammate with the same bolt. Since then, the piercing aspect has been removed: I don’t believe it works anymore. - Still worth a test.


(Drcipres) #6

I think it keeps happening

Fletcher is @Sniff

Fletcher bombs will collide with Stoker’s Molotov’s midair. It is funny when it happens.


(Naonna) #9

Is there anything fletcher can’t do? (besides give ammo and destroy the EV)


(Drcipres) #10

He can destroy the EV with a big pair of balls


(BananaSlug) #11

@blisteringOwlNest i am sure that you can see on wiki that pistols and cricket bat have 97,5% speed soo dont check that in myth busters


(BanHammer) #12

I was just about to do this. Had a whole list but I guess you can do it.

Does Pineapple juggler work?

Is running with deployables faster than a knife?

Can phantom survive a sniper headshot w/ refractive armor?

Kira’s orbital laser quicker at destroying secondary objectives than an airstrike?


(Jostabeere) #14

There are more surfaces than a small front part of the EV where stickes don’t stick and bump-off.

it’s lame I know, but I am really bad at such things.
So far I like all the ideas. Especially @blisteringOwlNest s ideas are very interesting for me, personally.

Nader nades will collide with the molotov. Everything collides with the molotov. Better aim right when you thrown it close to a tree cause even a leaf will make it explode…

  • An angry burned man.

I’ve tested and confirmed it myself, but videofootage wouldn’t be bad either specifically since you stated “helping out new players”; Unshakeable is superior to FailSafe for the reason last mentioned covers 30% of your own boom-booms, where first mentioned covers from all, also your own by 20%. I found it confusing to have one specific augment for own explosions when there was seemingly better one already.

Also you could test out how many objectives get done / defended when all 12-16 players in the server are running a free-rotation Vaseline.

With some deployables is faster
I dont think he can survive
Kiras laser deals less damage to the ev, so maybe the same for generators


(Jostabeere) #18

There’s only one deployable, isn’t it? Orare drugs/EMPs/Dome thingies really different in weight.

I think what he/she meant to say is, medpacks, turrets etc. I think

Can you goomba someone to death?
