So does Javelin straight shot Rocket Launcher gibs on one direct hit?

Do does the straight Rocket gib on direct, let us know devs?

If so, I think its a bad idea. Especially considering every other non-air support attack will not gib in one hit. Air support attacks usually gib because on a direct hit, you are hit multiple times by the laser or strike.

I don’t think Javelin’s straight shot should gib…despite what devs say about having time to avoid it (1 second isn’t much time) I believe gibbing on the guiding air missle is fine since it has a trailing and likely takes longer to reach you.

There are gameplay videos with Javelin on youtube that you can use to judge, aside from that I guess you can find out first hand tomorrow on her official release.

I’m pretty sure I’ve seen people instagib on her role call from some of the shots (direct hits), but its hard to say how much health they had before getting hit… also who they were, because they is nothing left of them… lol

airstrike will gib if you have hp below 100 on its outer AoE

i think…

1 second is HUGE, you may see what I mean when you get your hands on Javelin yourself
In 1 second you can turn 180 degrees or less (if your sensitivity is low like mine) and do a longjump, or even chain a walljump (these things will most likely allow you to reach cover)
