Encountered a slight problem earlier while using a heavy Dropsuit.......You know those buildings with the guard rails in certain ambush maps, the popular sniper nests? If you're in a heavy dropsuit, you can't jump over the railing to get back out. I found this out after getting in that area to snipe vehicles and ppl with my forge gun.... Couldn't get back out of there after.
So the request I'd like to make would be, either the ability to climb over such obstacles, seen that in many games. Or, give heavy suits a jetpack assist thing of some sort for jumping. |

The exact same thing happened to me. After I wasted all my ammo I just killed myself |

just to add to the conversation....
a55ault suit with 2x basic armor plates slotted can also not jump the railing ..... seems jump is a function of movement speed. |

Mass - rather. The higher your mass the less movement speed/jump ability you have.
While I'm against Heavies being able to jump these rails they should be able to vault over them. Allowing heavies to jump high enough to clear the railing doesn't make much sense considering a Forge Gun weighs 140lbs or so according to the lore.
Also, that's just the weapon's weight. That's not including ammunition, a 12lb sub-machine gun, and god knows how much weight from the armor. |

the weight of a heavies gear is supposed to be nearly irrelevant because of the motors in his suit |

From lore standpoint and all.. That would be user experienced 'weight' and ability to lift heavy objects. But consided any mechanical RL construct, catepillar for example. Yes it can do stuff and lift/push heavy objects but it can't lift it self up to any significant degree. |

Yeah, was gonna say. They may be heavy, but they're going to have either hydraulic, pneumatic, or magneto assisted "musculature" lining the suit. I just think it's funny because the light suit, that would have the least assist. Yet they jump around like they're olympic jumping for height and distance. Assault seems to most human, as far as that goes. Heavy would be the most likely candidate for having a light jump jet mounted in the back for clearing short obstacles.
And Lol, I couldn't kill myself, had no forge gun ammo left, and all I had for nades were flux grenades. Thought about going on voice coms and asking someone to bring me a crane. |

It gets to the point where a heavy jumping = an elephant jumping. The should be able to climb it though |
