most of you probably already know this, but you can use the same concept as rabbitpunching when grabbing weapons to vacuum them up faster. grab-prevweapon-gravgun-grab-prevweapon-gravgun...etc. This comes in really handy under the stairs in lockdown.[/i]

Have someone get the ammo their and learn that noise, getting the three items their can be very loud with the GGun and give away your position


remeber even at very far distances u can still slightly pull weapon and items to you

(getting the HP pack on steamlab that you normaly have to go up the ladder to get u can just jump from the bottom of the ladder and pull it down w/o going up

Ive been using this trick for over a year at least. Sending a storm of 10 sawblades / cinderblocks at the enemy within a couple of seconds is pretty effective (gets plenty of hax accusations as well). Its also useful in a ggun battle (no delay on catch), and has come in particularly useful during orb exchange fights in lockdowns long hallway.

prevweapon means previous weapon? not sure what the goal is without seeing. Can you elaborate more please?

yes previous weapon. The idea is that you can eliminate the delay after you grab ammo and health by switching and then switching back in between, letting you grab alot of stuff almost instantly. Also all the stuff Ko Tao spoke of.

still haven't tried this out yet, may have done it without my knowledge. But I guess the point is that when you go to grab say a health pack, that if you switch and switch back quick enough between last weapon and grav gun, that if you do it fast enough it "appears" that you grab the health with your previous weapon?

No, it's just that when you grab something with the gravity gun and drop it you can't instantly grab something else, so instead you switch weapons (and as the gravity gun can grab instantly after you switch weapons you get around the delay)

No, the purpose is to reset the gravguns attack cooldown, which is 0.5 seconds for both primary and secondary fire. By swapping to another weapon and back to gravgun, the cooldown timer is reset and effectively bypassed, allowing for much faster grabbing / throwing / punting of items and pickups.
