Little technique I haven't seen mentioned in a while

[The_Deacon]

Whenever we hear about long drops off towers etc all we really get is "pull
out shield gun and use the 2ndary"

Something that never gets mentioned is the fact that you can cushion a large
fall by using a wall dodge (of course assuming there is a side surface to dodge off)

Example: ONS-Torlan
Location: Top off redeemer tower
Method: Walk of the edge of the tower and use air control to guide yourself
towards one of the cliff sides. When you get fairly close to the ground,
double tap the direction away from the cliff and you'll lose a load of your
vertical drop speed. Best to have the shield ready in case anything goes wrong though.

Anyway, this is something people shouldn't forget about, it's very useful. :up:

word.

Landing on a steep slope can prevent any damage whatsoever too
(im sure we all knew that tho)

you mean wall-jumping away from the tower?

Yes. Do it close to the ground before you land, it takes away a lot of your z-velocity.

Like the towers in the main base, you can jump off and land on that slope behind the hellbender, if you use your sheild with this jump, you'll take zero damage!

I do that, usually jump down from the tower, do a walljump away from it onto the mountain thingy and use shield gun while gliding down the mountain.

You can also land on the jump pad and take zero damage, but that flings you back up to where the Hellbender is.

interesting didnt think of that really, i usually only use the shield

[legacy-Arokh]

Me too. Gonna try it next time I'm playing the demo.

[legacy-Powerslave666]

You're right, I kinda forgot about this. Last time I did it was on the lift to the LG in Asbestos.

Tip: when you have to make a quick exit from the redeemer tower, jump off on the south-side and land on that little jumppad all the way down. It requires good aiming, but if you land right on it you'll take no damage at all.

UT2004 also has the Halo bug: you can fall, and then enter a vehicle at the precise moment you're going to hit it, and you enter the vehicle without sustaining any damage.
