A general question, cause I'd really like to know:
Q. what are the rules on when the (x) inertia dampener can be used?
Of course you use it when jumping out of the MCC, and i guess out of dropships (i haven't had the opportunity to try yet), . . . but once when I climbed up and jumped off a tall building, i hit (x) and the inertia dampener kicked in cancelling all damage from the fall. "GREAT" I thought.
-
The next time I climbed up a tall building I also jumped off, faced the ground, and hit (x), nothing happened and I almost died.
What are the contextual rules on activating this thing?
Shouldn't ANY fall give you the option to activate the dampener no matter what the height?
I don't mean a regular jump-- I mean the moment the game code detects that you are now falling and will receive damage.

When you can use it is determined by fall time. You'll notice that as you're falling out of the MCC it takes a second before you can activate it. That's how long you have to be falling.
In terms of distance, I've noticed you can use it from the top of the two taller structures on Line Harvest, the ones that contain C and D respectively in the skirmish version, but not off the slightly shorter structure a few meters south of them. I'm guessing, then, that the minimum height is somewhere in between those two heights. |

Some of the taller rock spikes on manus peak let you activate it, maybe the activation fall height should be at the same the height falling damage starts. |

fall damage is weird in this game.
if i jump from a 2 foot hight i take shield damage. if i jump from 20 feet in the air i can't use the inertia dampener and take alot of shield damage, or die.
i'm sick of the blood effect that appears when you take a tiny bit of fall damage that only takes shield and also the meaningless fall damage altogether.
i think the dampener is limited like a parachute, you can only use it if the height 25 meters or so to be effective |
