I really really liked evade in Reach, and this is what i think was made to replace it, but at the moment it goes off to slow and it only goes like 3 feet. I went into a forge and doubled the thrust and played a couple games, it was very very very much worth it. Thruster pack with just double or 2.5 times the distance actually makes it worth while, at this point you can sprint faster to the spot than thrust to it.
I thought that too at first, but then I found I could use it in mid air.
Personally, I like this AA the most. It’s my favorite along with regen field. It’s reqally good on maps with covers, but not so much on opened maps.
Also, Evade was too good in reach.
I can never get it to work in air, and when I try junping a gap with it I have better luck just regular jumping. If it was just upped a little it would be so much better
Hello there!
it’s not worthless, here’s how i use it (with lightrifle/dmr)
I stay near or next to cover alot. so if i’m being shot at, i can just zip to the side with the thrusters. if i a ghost comes at me, i can quickly dart away and run use it as a way of avoiding battle not finding it
I bought the thruster pack immediately and then instantly regretted it. It needs a tweak, or it needs removing altogether. Right now its absolutely useless.
Agreed… 343i nerfed down the thrust pack waaaayyyyy tttttoooo much. It’s not worth using!
I feel like I am using it wrong as I can jump farther than it pushes me. I tried holding LB and pressing LB, is it only supposed to move me a couple of meters?
It is rubbish i have to say, it wouldn’t be so bad if it didn’t stop you from moving straight after it stops. And the distance is pointless. Either keep the animation and increase the distance, or make movement immediate, imho
The distance definitely needs to be increased a bit, but the worst part is the hilariously disorienting camera pull-out… wtf is the point of that?
I agree, I was really looking forward to using the T-Pak when I first heard about it, I could have cared less about PV or Invis, I wanted to be able to evade explosives, and maybe even use the T-Pak in my strafe.
However, there are two problem with it, it’s slow, and it takes way to long to take you back into first person.
If I were to fix it, I’d speed it up to a quick jolt, and I’d make it so as soon as the ‘thrust’ part of the animation is over you’re back in first person, instead of returning to first person until half a second after the ‘thrust’ part of the animation finishes.
I love it. Mid-air boosts and thrusts are amazing, and since it’s the least most popular AA, nobody ever expects me to use it. I usually win battles, just because I time it perfectly to avoid their 4th headshot from a BR. Thruster is amazing for those who can utilize it’s every purpose and strategy.
Try practicing it. I recall 343 saying that it takes time to master the
T-pack, maybe the weapon you currently hold affects is distance/range because of weight. It could also be the angles or height players activate the T-pack.
Try useing it in unique angles or test if weapons have a affect on the AA.
I like it…
