This game has some of the worst armor abilities ever. The only 2 useful ones are the shield and the promethian vision which actually is pretty boss. Stealth can be seen by any1 who puts their cross hair over you. Happened to me while i was trying to sneak up on a tank. Replay showed him seeing red and he just blew me up… anyway the whole point is to talk about the spartan jump.
-it has no range at all
-Ovious delay makes trying to escape from death just useless,its better to just move.
-The fact that it totally zooms out the camera for like what, .25 seconds is pointless
I agree. The first time I used it, I was like, “…That’s it?”. I thought it was going to be like the roll from reach! I thought I did it wrong, so I tried it in different situation… same thing.
I use the hologram now, try it out! It ALWAYS fools enemies because your reticle turns red over it, and it shows up as a red dot on radar. Really good for running around a corner, crouching, and sending off your holo so the enemy follows it

This! Hologram is so boss! i use to just use PV/hardlight but after getting fooled by Holo too much i use it now !
Hologram is definately a sick buy. I used it alot and it got me alot of kills and now i may start using it again ^^ but man spartan jump needs to be changed. I can understand that it would be just too imbalanced with a sword but just make it move more quickly and just a bit more range would fix it
So far I’ve found the Thruster is best used for evading splatters and slow moving weapons being used against you (like grenades, laser). It also helps get around people at close range, or thrust backwards to evade a melee attack like hammer charge.
What it doesn’t do is allow you to speed boost across the map, or evade shots from the rifle weapons very easily (i.e. boosting behind a rock as the last shot pops you in the head).
I would agree that most people are probably going to find something like the shield more useful. I only use Thruster on my mobile class, my BR class used to use hologram now uses shield. It’s great for when you’re moving towards a choke point as a distraction.
I use Thruster Pack and find it very useful, you just need to know how and when to use it. You can use it in mid-air if you’re jumping to a ledge that’s just too far away to get to using a regular jump, or you can use it to close in the distance between you and another player when you have a sword or shotgun. Furthermore, if you’re fighting somebody and are about to lose, you can use the Thruster Pack to quickly go around a corner to safety. Same goes for dodging grenades, which I’ve done so many times.
