Question Zip line?


Hey all, I'm new to the PS scene and I had a quick question (please don't flame me if this topic has already been covered ). Just curious as to whether infantry will be able to zip line from the air transports or not. Thanks.

Nope, but they can just hop out of their air vehicle and land on the roof without dying...so...kinda.

no don't believe there is a zip line. Aircraft has to land or you can jump out. Kinetic dampeners slow you down a bit making the fall damage you less.

The most comprable thing to a zip line is kenetic dampeners, if you jump out high enough they slow your fall at the very end and absorb some of the damage.

Question


So, you would be able to jump from a reasonable altitude without taking damage? Also, am I correct in assuming that this is possible while the transport is in motion? Thanks again.

You'll take damage but depending on how "reasonable" the height you're jumping from is will affect how much damage you take.

2. yes, this can be done while it's moving

You can def bail while moving. The thread seems to be against me, but i thought the KDs took all damage unless you jumped from too low? Damn it i really gotta reread the info section. They gone and changed things on me.

This is set in the future, only dumb poeple like us would use ziplines to get outa aircrafts. Kinetic dampners sound kool. I just wana know what they will look like becuase they seem to be invisble from all the pics i've seen.

They're built into your suit so you don't see them.
