Feb 24 broke Grapple

Best I seen was either when a Jackbot tried to stomp on an assassin, hit them, then the assassin grappled and them and Jackbot flew off the map (on one of the "long stretches" on LazeRazor).

Or when I was assault, at the peak of my jump, I get backgrappled by an assassin who I have just thrown AWAY from me with a bomb. I have the jetpack on, so I'm floating. I get backgrappled by this assassin who manages to remain grounded while I slowly make my way towards the skybox.

It was... confusing.

Actually, I came up with a whole moveset for her including everything from skills to weapons.

Her primary is a Taser type of deal but this thing shoots bolts of electricity and can be charged up each time its shot. Full charge stuns enemies for about as long as a L3 Tank charge but it takes a while to charge and it can hurt you if charged too long. Low range and variable damage.

Secondary is a Buzzer launcher They work just like buzzers that are spawned and one more buzzer gets added for each level of passive. It has a clip of 3 at max passive and it has a long reload. One buzzer per shot so max 3 at a time.

Blue skill is a bot hack. It hacks a group of bots and you can use it while walking along side them. It has a much faster cooldown than Supports hack because of how easily they can be destroyed.

Yellow Skill: Mini Shave-Ice. It slows people down at about the same rate as the regular Shave-Ice but is very easily destroyed. Slowness depends on level. Can stick to walls...just because.

Red Skill: Napalm, much like the Support's airstrike but it lays fire all over the place. Stepping on it will ignite you. Fire lasts a long time and does a lot of damage to bots. Tanks won't mind this much and Sins will despise it. It only has one shot and a long cooldown. Each level= more Fire :twisted:

I disapprove, Goose.

Impairing movement = anti-fun

I thought of that too but because you can't just run around with max charge (it will hurt you eventually) it would be situational. The Tanks charge isn't situational

I suggested adding PitGirl ages ago to save cost on new models >.>

Of course, cost... thats why i want her

PitGirl and Assassin bikini outfits, WOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!

Only if Assassin is wearing panties on her head to cover her face.

a deep sea diving helmet will replace it, like bioshock style

Man, I hope that the next patch comes out soon to fix this grapple bug. It is seriously making the game hard to enjoy. When there is a relatively skilled assassin on the enemy team (using gold armor) there is literally nothing you can do.

She lunges me I jump, still grappled in mid air (even using hover jets.)

I charge em off the map, suddenly face stabbed for 500health.

I grapple her - her grapple overwrites mine during start animation (causing all sorts of weird things.)

Yep, it's pretty bad. I got grappled mid-charge last night. By a gunner.

ah this explains everything, i thought i was just too tired and confused, but i did same a few times now, first i noticed i charged another assault, with charge 3, uppercutted him out of the ring then next thing we both we way out of the ring paused in mid-air and he was doing the grenade launcher alt grapple on me, we both then died

It happens way too much. Most of the time its harmless but there are times when you die because of it and that gets frustrating.

Assassins suffer too I can't count the amount of times I've been grappled while trying to make a smoke bomb jump.

That's actually intended.

I mean after I've jumped and left the ground. If you weren't joking.

Why do you keep pushing the bioshock deep sea diver helmet? It's big, akward, and would make head shotting assassins nothing. What's wrong with her normal mask? It's pretty an electronic breathing mask already. Just slap on an air tank and your set.

a Assassin grapple me in mid air

*facepalm* learn to know a joke, we will never see a bikini assassin...........if you screw me over uber i want something free!

A sniper friend of mine tried assault tonight for the first time, and about 5 minutes in he messaged me on steam "how do you put up with this ****?"
Curious what he was talking about, I asked him what he meant.

"These ******* sins keep grappling me after being knocked back by my charge and half the time its a backstab when I hit them head on and start shooting at them"

My reply?

"What did you think I've been raging about for the last week?"
