Rocket Flying

Rocket Flying

Rocket Flying is a mutator that makes rocket jump maneuvers more effective. A rocket jump is when you use the Devastator, look downwards, fire and detonate the rocket instantly to get an upwards push. This is a fun but also dangerous maneuver as it will hurt you.

Normally (if Rocket Flying is disabled), when you fire a Devastator rocket and try to detonate it immediately, there's a very slight delay. So a rocket jump will apply some force to you, but it's not very effective.

But if the Rocket Flying mutator is enabled, rockets you fire from the Devastator can be detonated instantly; the very slight delay is gone. This causes rocket jumps to be much more effective; you can push yourself upwards even when moving fast.

Hints

• In space maps or maps with a endless abyss, skilled players might use such a rocket jump to rescue themselves from falling down.
