Airstomp, Worth it?

Post » Thu Apr 14, 2011 8:15 pm

I love Airstomp. I love how it looks, I love the idea I just have never gotten a kill with it! I don't know if there's some trick or strategy to getting it right, but it seems whenever I try to pull it off, they are always JUST out side the area of effect. Anybody having the same problem with Airstomp? I've given up and just started using Armor Enhance or Tracer.

I always get kills with it when i play 2-3 rounds.


It's ridiculous fun if you play Crash Site sneak up on some high ground and STOP THE **** IN THERE when eneyms got the crash site! BOOM 3 kills. xD

EDIT:Seriously,without all them bugs this game would be awesomesauce. ^^

stomp is as useful as an ashtray on a motorbike...

I've gained at least 50 kill from people that stomped around, it is so easy to kill!

I never thought about using it in Crash Site! That's even my favourite game mode! Thanks for the tip! I feel awfully silly for not thinking of that before!


edit:
Yeah I notice that when I miss it's game over unless you stuck armor mode on mid air.

I really think this should be made baseline, available for everyone. Or maybe a free skill gained at a certain level or so. Its not worth using over any other module in the slot, even that its great fun, sadly :(

Its not a terribly practical module, but dam is it fun, just make sure to leap off something about 1.5m taller than whoever you're stomping, just powerjumping and stomping does nothing (except get you killed). Also make sure you go into armour mode either during the flight (swap from power/cloak mode) or as soon as you land, might buy you that extra 0.1s to draw your weapon if you fluff it. Also stomp doesnt work if you walk off an edge (regardless of how high up it is), so always do a little jump off edges if you expect a stomp target below.

It will get you killed about twice as often as you kill someone with it, but stomping someone is simply too much fun to let that bother you.

I never managed to place an airstomp exactly where the enemy was, so always got killed by the others... Using other abilities now. Way better.
