I have NO trouble remembering to use Grapple, Drop Shield or Threat Sensor when I have them. Can use them pretty well too.
But Thrust? Despite the fact that I’m Plat/Diamond and played the hell out of H5 where it was a default ability I so often completely forget that Thrust is a thing even when I’ve picked it up and thus I die or have much harder kills than I should when I have it equipped.
I feel so dumb every. single. time.
9/10 I’ll pick it up on Aquarius at the start of a match and forget I’ve got it by the time I’ve got on top mid…
where I lose my first battle…
then I see it in my death screen!!!
Maybe I should use that more often I think!
in which scenarios is it most advantageous to use this?
Early on with infinite I had the opposite problem where I’d use all the equipment under the false assumption that I have thrusters.
Because subconsciously you realize the thrusters in Halo Infinite are actually trash compared to the Thruster in Halo 5.
You’re not alone with this either and I personally thinks 343 Industries messed up by treating the thruster as a pickup item vs a “ built " in ability.
kinda. killing people should charge your thrust for a few seconds so that it cant be easiy used all the time and reward bad positioning. Basiically i would like classes where we choose what ability we want to charge. equipment on the map should be map altering abilities, not player focused abilities that last a few seconds.
You are absolutely not the only one. It happens to me more specifically in Fiesta, I’ll spawn in with the thing, forget about it, and then remember I have it and use it for a random burst of speed into a room filled with enemies and get completely shredded. Thruster’s have never been my strong suite, and it’s not looking like that’s going to change anytime soon.
It’s something that bugs me every time I go back to infinite after playing halo 5.
