Author Topic: Speed up GRU (Read 6310 times)

I know that the GRU allow the heavy to jump really high, but 90% of the maps have no purpose for that extra high jump, so I think it would be fair to speed it up so that you can run slightly faster then most classes, maybe make it the same speed as medic? You already lose a lot of health using them as is.

i agree i play heavy 24/7 i think the heavy should go a little faster with GRU i mean a 7 health per second drain a little faster is needed

The GRU already allows you to run faster.

i know but at the health drain can you make them go a little faster?

Yes the GRU speed up heavies, but all other classes except soldier run faster. With Gru equiped you become the second slowest class with the ability to jump a little higher/farther, which isn't very useful and a lot of the maps.

At this point I don't think buffing any of the runner classes is a good idea, considering that DR is already a challenge for most hales.

Then perhaps lowering the health drain per second so we can use the GRU longer? Instead of 7 per sec make it 4-5 per sec?

That's still a buff.

And that also has the side-effect of removing the "higher jump".

you allow gas jockey pyros whats wrong with 5 health drain with GRU

The gas jockey set has been slated for a nerf for months. It just hasn't been very high on the priority list.
