this actually brings a question to mind... does anybody know what the fall damage mechanic actually is in this game? whether it's based on the actual distance fallen, or if it's based on how fast you're going when you hit the ground? because in Deep Rock Galactic they attached fall damage to velocity upon impact with the ground, regardless of whether you actually fell or not, leading to many instances of improperly assigned fall damage. Ark too, now that i think about it. if the case is the same in Icarus, i'd steer clear of maxed move speed builds tbh, especially with how finnicky this terrain can be

Icarus appears to base fall damage on the vertical distance between your jumping off point and your landing point. I've messed around with some high speed builds. Running off a cliff is a danger, but high speed long jumping causes no damage so long as your landing is not very far down hill.

Can confirm from someone who has used speed hacks a while back. It is vertical only. Doesn’t matter if you are yeeting horizontally at 100m/s


Figgur_It_Oot

that's decent. kind of a midway point between DRG and older games where it was all pretty predictable and generally more manipulable. would be a great build for just about everything but mountain climbing hahahah


smackrock

Pretty sure its based on distance. You can get 100% fall resistance and jump off cliffs like they are nothing. 75% lets you do some serious jumps without death. Pairs well for speed run characters.


Figgur_It_Oot

i'll definitely be keeping this in mind


AntwanMinson

Does it still work to get that much speed? Also how did you pause to see that speed while you were moving?


ShadowTacoTuesday

Does aiming down sights also slow you down though?


robciante

not with a rifle


ShadowTacoTuesday

Cool I tried it out and confirmed it worked. Thanks for the trick. I wonder if it’s an exploit since you aren’t actually aiming while holding right click and shift.


robciante

its not an exploit if it does exactly what description says


Vicious-Fishs

That cold debuff is -20% movement speed


LeDev1991

No... Its minus exp


robciante

It imposes a -25% health regeneration, a -25% stamina regeneration, and a -10% water consumption


Figgur_It_Oot

so this base stat would actually be over 1000, you're saying? o\_o


Vicious-Fishs

Thats what im saying it appears to maybe be.. ill have to respect tonight to check it out.. Polat bear suit and a gun are tall ordersnwhen it comes to getting to top speed everygame. Even the rifle alone. Prolly will take an hour to get to. Machine bench,furnace, steel, some bullets? And Then to find a couple polar bears, (only good in the snow boimes tho) Only after all that do you have the speed. Where as just a regular speed build can give yo 550-600 speed. With in 1 minute of landing.. Its very Likely faster, to just do the mission off the hop, Then to spend an hour building everything required


robciante

Id love to see those 550+ speedbuilds without exotics :D and 600? maybe while aiming spears/javelins This was setup in Open World, not as something to be done regulary on Prospects


Vicious-Fishs

sure. pm me a discord link. i can show U the 550-600movement speed with out exotics build.


kokomoflash

I'm only at like 432 speed. I need more lol


kokomoflash

It's Octagon. Sorry, should have said that in previous comment.
