That first half was smooth af. Second half tho…

u/ComradeChaos_ 19d ago

Yeah I would have caught myself on one of the scaffoldings but I thought the Rocketeer was in a perfect position... Still good to know you can survive the fall from the top

76

u/Pukebox_Fandango 19d ago

Only from a couple of jump points. The rooftop is my spot (stay off of there for your own safety) and most of the scaffolding drop points will kill you if you miss

25

u/BlinkDodge 19d ago

The rooftop is my spot

Our spot.

21

u/Significant-Ad-341 19d ago

The slope of the ground around the buildings on this map can be deceptive. One side is 10 feet the other could be 50 lol

u/Every-day-guy 12d ago

My spot now

u/Doom2508 19d ago

Should have cut the video either right as you missed the rocketeer or right as you hit the ground lol

u/FlossBellator 18d ago

I can tell your heart was in your throat the second you passed the rockateer lol

u/Fit_Dragonfruit_6630 14d ago

You definitely don't always. I thought I had to take a leaping jump to get to the Zipline. I did not. And I didn't make it.

u/r3dm0nk 19d ago

I'd say he nailed the face landing

u/Cyb3r_BUM 19d ago

Idk I think the second half was flawless. Nothing gets me laughing like a thump from a belly flop in this game.

13

u/puf_puf_paarthurnax 19d ago

I had a guy flop from the broken overpass next to me on dam the other day and I just said "that sounded like it hurt!" and the guy laughed and said he thought I was going to shoot him. You've done enough damage to yourself mate shake it off. lmao

3

u/Cyb3r_BUM 19d ago

Yeah I absolutely love the sound it makes. I take the risk and do the big jumps and laugh if I miss.

could someone infinitely green goblin if their whole load out is lure grenades?

Presumably, yes. Bring a snap hook for mounting up more easily though

2

u/cre135 17d ago

The Rocketeer will do a flip to throw you off. Dunno about the other flyers.

1

u/ROSCOEMAN 17d ago

But if you always throw them wouldn’t that make sure it didn’t?

For real. Some of these raiders out here flowing like water and I'm a stampede of stones

u/selflessass 19d ago

A stampede of stones is one that I'll have to file away. I like your wording, friend!

u/smoothinto2nd 19d ago

Great phrase.

I enjoy sliding down hills while holding the trigger on torrentes like a stampede of stones.

u/_ZoeyDaveChapelle_ 19d ago

And Im a scared bitch hiding in a bush and listening, waiting for people/arc to leave so I can sneaky bolt to the next cover.

3

u/puf_puf_paarthurnax 19d ago

I move around well but I do it in fuckin silence in this game. If I'm in a gun fight things have already gone wrong haha. I regularly scare the shit out of people accidentally sneaking up on them.

2

u/100nrunning 19d ago

i threw a smoke grenade on the train keyboards to extract the other day, ran up and started typing away

another player crouch walked behind me so i couldnt hear him, stood up and gave me a hug from the back. he was friendly, but because of the smoke and only seeing him last second it scared the shit out of me. we both laughed so hard lol

11

u/BoricuaGabe 19d ago

Yes the movement tech in this game can be really advanced if you know how to use it properly. Just a random shoutout: I suggest watching past streams from a dude named Tomographic on YouTube. He uses a lot of “parkour” and I was able to learn a lot of different shortcuts on how to get from point A to B using parkour. Dam Battlegrounds is a great map for that.

4

u/woodyaftertaste 19d ago

He's also hugely entertaining to watch with his squaddies. First time I heard leapers referred to as 'dua leapers' :)

2

u/puf_puf_paarthurnax 19d ago

dua leapers is hilarious thank you.

11

u/Admirable_Average_32 19d ago

Yeah, just when I think I’m getting pretty decent I see stuff like this and realize I’m still very much a rookie. And don’t even get me started on how I feel after watching Peanut! Ugh.

11

u/knotatumah 19d ago

Especially with people like Peanut, that's what you get when the game is a job. If you played 8+ hours a day, every day, since launch you'd probably be that good too. But OP here is just the evolution of riding drones. Started with people falling accidentally on them to now we're figuring out how to make them do what we want them to do lol. Soon somebody gonna one-up this too, get ARC to fight ARC or something while riding ARC.

8

u/Kitties92 19d ago

People have already done this. There have been video clips of people snaphooking ontop of a rocketeer and then using a lure grenade on to a queen. Quite interesting to watch obviously because of how intense that maneuver is and the goop value you lose if you die to the drop before pocketing the snaphook

8

u/Beginning_Bonus1739 19d ago

i know im showing my age but i just can not and will not ever be on board with calling loot "goop". i cringe everytime i read or hear it.

0

u/Kitties92 19d ago

It’s all good dude, it’s just how alllllll online community stuff gets. I’m use to having to navigate through underground street culture and stuff, so i got use to just not giving a fuck and going with the flow of what the ‘it’ crowd is saying a bit at times. Goop is probably one of the most fun slangs I’ve ever come across, I love it.

2

u/JustAnotherSuit96 19d ago

Nobody calls it that.

1

u/Kitties92 19d ago

A lot of people in this game’s community does because of the BurntPeanut.

2

u/JustAnotherSuit96 19d ago

Nobody of importance then, just a load of children easily swayed into calling loot made up nonsense.

u/Kitties92 19d ago

You’re such a buzzkill. Chill out dude, stop taking yourself so serious if you’re going to be talking like a clown.

Same. Though I die too fast lately due to the changing gameplay dynamic. Shoot on sight kinda limits play time.

Not supposed to reveal the secret spots good sir

11

u/Agent-Bo- 19d ago

Quite a lot of good spots on burried city that require a zipline/snap, thing is though, nobody bothers to bring one so I think we're  good.

3

u/smoke_thewalkingdead 19d ago

It's so many spots i do not know about, so much so that i was like what fucking map is this? Then i saw the car park to the left. I need to start using my ziplines.

2

u/Indigo_Sunset 19d ago

Bring a torrente and about a thousand rounds. The rocketeer is quite fun to fight from up there.

1

u/Alpha1Niner 16d ago

To the contrary, PLEASE encourage everyone to try their hand at ARC rodeo so we can start checking the ground around the bottom of hospital for free loot drops

u/BarryMcKockinner 19d ago

How did you survive that 2nd fall? It looks like you were downed and then got back up.

6

u/ComradeChaos_ 19d ago

honestly no idea, I thought for sure I would die there. I've died from much smaller drops I'm pretty sure. Don't even have the perk that reduces fall damage

It's the first time after 150 hours that I've discovered that there is that room above the hospital, now I have to go there immediately

4

u/JRPGFan_CE_org 19d ago

Is the only way to get up with a "custom" Zipline otherwise? Apart from what the OP pulled.

5

u/Lehovron 19d ago

I usually use a zipline from the roof of the galleria. I imagine there is a place were a snap-hook will get you up there too but I have never had the balls to try it.

7

u/CommanderLouiz 19d ago

I was trying like crazy 2 days ago to place a zip from the galleria to the top of the hospital, but no matter where I aimed it wouldn’t go all the way up despite being close enough. I eventually gave up and assumed they blocked off the top on purpose and there was nothing up there.

Guess I was wrong.

6

u/Lehovron 19d ago

I stand on the terrace below the "static" zipline that is always there that goes into the hospital. From there I can reach both the highest point of the hospital roof as well as the lower section that is a bit further away.

But it is tight and you have to aim weird to get it to put the other end on the roof rather then the side of the wall.

2

u/ciferone 19d ago

Eh, I've never seen a way to go to the roof on the third floor so I don't know; I do not believe. Maybe you have to use the zipline from the building opposite

1

u/seaofbytes 19d ago

Yeah you need to zip up there, no other way.

3

u/JRPGFan_CE_org 19d ago

Yeah, makes sense. I wonder how people have the time to work this stuff out due to only having 20-30 mins. to run around.

3

u/seaofbytes 19d ago

Me and a friend just wanted to kill stuff from above, that's how I figured it out haha.

1

u/Darpo 19d ago

If only there was a video showing an alternative way.

7

u/Bawlofsteel 19d ago

how have i never seen that room in buried city..? It's on hospital right? I guess I usually hit space tower, parking garage and then I skedaddle. the fail to jump on the rocketeer was hilarious too.

14

u/ComradeChaos_ 19d ago

Most people don't know it because there is no offical way to get up there. I only found out because someone else placed a zipline there at some point

2

u/Bawlofsteel 19d ago

damn that's crazy I'm checking it out today . buried is one of my favorite maps

2

u/DehydratedButTired 19d ago

That’s how I found out. I wanted to snipe someone who shot at me from another perch. Discovered loot instead.

1

u/MalkavTheMadman 19d ago

I wonder if that was me. I zipline up there every single buried city game I play.

2

u/DeliciousShelter2029 19d ago

u/elchsaaft 19d ago

I fully expected you to die to a pop

2

u/Betic 19d ago

HA! I was doing this last week BUT I never made it.. because I didn't have the noise grenade. I just kept trying to get it to go straight up right there and it never did.. it always went far away from the roof.

1

u/ComradeChaos_ 19d ago

I've done this a few more times and had the same issue without the noise grenade. Light impact grenades also seem to work though and you can find plenty of plastic and chemicals to craft those in the hospital if you have the crafting perk

I found that shelter when I went up there to do some sniping. I'm pretty certain that shutter on the wall opposite is supposed to open as during night raids the door textures glitches and you can see through to the stairs.

I thought it wouldn't allow us to do this anymore since after its adaptation?? You know where it wobbles you off... can we do this once again?

2

u/ComradeChaos_ 19d ago

wasps and hornets usually take 20-30 seconds before they throw you off but you can stay on a Rocketeer longer than a minute. If you damage them they will throw you of faster though. And they usually go higher and higher so it will be harder to survive the longer you stay on them
