#Xonotic armor mod#

Weapons Basic WeaponsĮvery player has the same three weapons. Since a nade does about 160 damage you need additional armor or health for this trick, otherwise you’d just commit suicide. You can see this in action in this video. Space Elevator is a good map to try this out. This can be done by either facing in the opposite direction of where you want to be hurled or by being in the upward motion of a jump when the nade explodes. One way to do that is to let a nade (see the nade entry in the weapons section below) explode in your hand. Sometimes you need to get away really fast. Nade Jumpingĭesperate times call for desperate measures. This can double your speed when done right. The fastest way to accelerate is a combination of both wall-dodging and blastering. Good maps to try this out are Tarx and Implosion. You can reach very high speeds using wall dodging. You can do this multiple times with only a short cooldown time. For example you can bunny hop alongside a wall and press the forward key in quick succession to gain more speed. Wall-dodgingĭodging does not only apply to starting a movement, but can be used on every (more or less) smooth surface next to you. You’ll accelerate several times faster than normally. You should do this every time after spawning because this is the fastest way to start moving. (Press forward, forward, then hold jump - don’t press jump before the first forward or it won’t work). You must be completely still before this and it must be followed by bunny hopping or else you lose your speed as soon as you touch the floor again. When you want to start moving, quickly press forward twice.

shooting nades or the flag on the ground to make them bounce a little - this is great for separating the flag and the nade when a killed FC drops both.ĭodging is Overkill’s defining feature.accelerating - shoot the floor or wall slightly behind you for a noticeable boost.climbing walls - no matter how high, just keep shooting the laser at roughly 45° down against the wall.jumping higher - just aim at the floor and shoot ( video).It pushes the player using it (and also flags and nades), but unlike in vanilla it doesn’t deal any damage. Laser / BlasterĪll weapons in Overkill have the same secondary fire - laser (sometimes called blaster). The turning and strafing tips also apply: hold forward to move straight, release forward and press left or right while moving the mouse slow but steadily in that direction to turn. you need to sneak, since bunny hopping makes a lot of noise (you can crouch additionally to further minimize your movement noises).you want to be slow (to not fall off a ledge).The are only two exceptions to this rule: Basically keep the jump key (by default space bar) pressed all the time. Same as vanilla - instead of just walking around you should always jump because it’s much faster. But let’s review the basics first: Bunny Hopping However there is one key aspect making the game way faster - dodging. Some of the best players focus on movement almost exclusively.Įvery vanilla movement tip also applies in Overkill. If you’re feeling old or your reflexes aren’t that good, don’t despair, since speed is the more important of the two.

To excel at Overkill there are two things to practice: aim and speed.
