It’s not totally useless. Everyone keeps saying that it’s a waste of an AA and outclassed by everything else, but I honestly survive a lot of battles because of it.
Here, it actually won me a game of regicide that I deserved to lose

TP is the best AA, in my opinion. Don’t let everyone know, though. I’d much prefer they continue running around using hologram or camo. Easy kills, ya know.
Awesome way to dodge that guy at the end. The TP is great I agree. I also noticed that when I use it to fall down I can run or shoot instantly after I reached the ground using the TP while there’s a small “latency” if you just run.
Nice. I agree with the others, just with the other AAs, there is a learned skill to using the thruster pack. Personally, I’m still figuring it out, but I know its there and can be used very effectively. Too many folks are dismissing it.
The main the argument is TP doesn’t do anything unique that can’t be substituted by any other AA’s or DA’s (Default Abilities).
A. The distance gained using TP is less than the distance gained if you were to simply SPRINT.
B. TP can help “close the gap” but can’t shoot or throw grenades while using it and you can still be shot and melee’d.
C. TP is only good at evading during long range engagements (if timed right)med range it won’t help at all you might dodge a shot maybe even 2 if they suck, but while activating TP you stop thrust stop then your able to move again which doesn’t help in most firefights.
D. Close range you could dodge like you did at the end of your video but people have been doing that since H3, it’s called the Ninja except you JUMP instead of just thrust backwards.
E. It’s useful on the Solace life but so is JETPACK.
Each armor ability will have a situation in which it is ideal. Anecdotal evidence about a singular moment isn’t going to vindicate nor validate a particular ability.
Ive always loved TP, its really good actually in CQB. I love TPing in front of an enemy which usually confuses them and then I go for the kill
jetpack is the best AA right now, but if you’re using bumper jumper, you’ll have to use thruster pack to have some mobility
i honestly think they dimmed down thruster pack because sword/hammer are really good. using them both in conjunction is great. for anyone that corner camps with thrusters you can just as easily run past the corner. the only map i see its more useful than the rest is haven, because there are a lot of trickjumps you can do from level 2 to 1

you can’t really compare this ability to sprint because if you spring and get shot at, you slow down
If you get shot at and evade, you still evade away at the same speed. It’s crazy to argue that the AA doesn’t keep people alive if they know how to use it
The conversation isn’t whether the thrustpack is useless… OK maybe that is the conversation. There just isn’t enough of a benefit that would render a lot of folks using it, which defeats the purpose. There should be some utility to AA that makes it worthwhile. At least, that is my POV.
I do NOT like the limited mobility of the thrustpack.
i just wish it went a little farther, ya know?
I think it should be longer depending on the amount of time you’re holding the button. So you could float in the air with the same speed of sprint without slowing down + meleeing instantly.
The time you’re in 3rd person is in flood the same as in normal MM, but it’d be better if you could just press the button to “glide” or “float” in the air which can take a couple of seconds depending on how long you hold the button. You could still use it like now by just pressing the button and immediately releasing it. The cooldown should be slower though and more like recharging like the jetpack.
In fact I’d want to see the thruster pack as an horizontal thruster pack. That’d be nice.
Needs a little more distance, which I can live without. Needs to lose 3rd person view, that bothers me a lot.

i think it looks kinda cooh
Those guys in the video looked limited. Standing still even.

While that looked cool and all you cant justify that crap AA because of a lucky win. I have probably won games because someones batteries died, or a cat jumped on them, or their GF was giving them a BJ. You don’t see people relying on those things to win do you? The thruster pack won’t CONSISTENTLY help you out as much as other AA’s and that’s why it sucks. Sure it can do something cool once in a while but consistency is key.

I use it every game and it saves me at least once a game. Sounds pretty consistent to me…
When I first saw it, I thought it would be amazing!
Tried it out and was disappointed.
Went to Promethean Vision, which worked out extremely well for me.
My friend went back to TP as well just to use it, it’s kinda fun.
I tried this also and realised it was actually very good. I was just using incorrectly before. It’s a defensive ability. You can’t use it to try and or BR/DMR someone or to boost up and melee someone.
95% of the times it has saved me or done good is when I dodging nades or closing that little gap to stop myself from being killed. Though it still think it should get a 30-50% distance boost though.
