Physical abilities of guardians
I see posts asking this question and he seen a lot of debate over the physical abilities of guardians. Whether they are super human or average when it come to sprinting and strength.
After giving it thought I've concluded that guardians fall on the upper end of the physical fitness spectrum.
In lightless zones like the tower or when ghaul took the traveler. Guardians seem to have a vertical leap around 3-4 feet and your average person typically has a vertical leap of about 1-2 feet. A guardians jump hight does fall in the same are of professional athletes.
Next let's look at sprint speed, as I recall the go fast update that came out in Y1, increased their sprint speed to 24 mph. A typical person has a sprint speed between 12-15 mph, so as you guessed this puts guardians in the same level as professional athletes again.
This being said exos guardians may perform above human limits since they are war machines.
Additionally guardians seem to be able to enhance their physical abilities with light allowing them to increase their strength

Think of Guardians like human Jedi. They are just human but because of their connection to the light (force) the have super human like abilities.

1 ReplyLiterally every single piece of armour in the game augments our abilities (strength, intellect, discipline etc) Wtf are you on about with thinking the armour doesn't enhance our guardian, it's the only reason we get more powerful!

Not only is our strength improved by light, titans have hydraulic systems in their arms that help them lift (punch) harder. Also great for crayon eating by the handful

I have to imagine that when it did that, we came back as the peak human ability version of ourselves. Instead of bringing lots of us back as overweight couch potatoes. So even without light we are still lean and mean machines. More akin to Batman instead of captain America Now while not mentioned it lore I also have to assume that the ghost and light keep us in shape in case we enjoy that ramen bowl too much at the tower.
