Scorch cannon jumping is fun.

I feel like most people don’t even know this mechanic even exists and a brief explanation is in dares of eternity and team scorched the scorch cannon acts differently from a normal one and bumps you around when you fire a shot too close to you you actually damage yourself. Knowing this you can use it to your advantage, if you fire one on a ground and hold it for a bit then jump then release the shot you go flying upwards and apply that to any direction you control at the cost of a little damage to yourself and it is incredibly fun. With that said for those who have no idea what I’m talking about I wish bungie would use this mechanic more than just team scorched and dares of eternity. which is completely fine as it makes sense for goofy modes just for the hell of it but Maybe you could use this mechanic in a section of a dungeon or raid as a jumping section like dares has but where you can’t make certain jumps without using the projectile fired from the scorch cannon to boost yourself upwards or forwards across a gap too long without engaging with the mechanic. I know this’ll probably fall on deaf ears but I wanted to put this out there as I think it’d be a neat idea to at the least try. I don’t know for sure but does this sound? Is this at least interesting to anyone else or not? I’d like to hear what people think.

  • I rarely go into scorched these days Scorch cannons are the most janky unpredictable guns in this game and its not even CLOSE I detonate one RIGHT next to someone? only does like 2 damage, but somehow when THEY fire it and it explodes like 5 meters away from me? Bangs me instantly

    • If you ever watch YouTube videos for D2, check out the TDT channel video series called spicy clips- they have a frequent submitter who is unbelievably good at this. Think I remember seeing them get a 13 killstreak (complete with seventh column) flying around with a scorch cannon.

    • I do this all the time when playing team scorched. Combo the cannon launch with warlock glide for insane distance and speed and you basically turn yourself into a projectile. It’s hilarious to drive-by some poor new light in team scorched while moving at the speed of sound.

    • I wish the exotic stasis heavy nade launcher did something similar, or maybe even parasite?

    • Reminds me of skull hunting in Halo 3.

    • I love doing this just to get out of bounds and explore in those maps. I mostly would think that my team would lose so I would have fun doing nothing except bounce around like an idiot with this thing xD

    • Rocket jumping is a lost art and that makes me sad.

      • Honestly haven't enjoyed scorched modes since they introduced the mechanic. Just doesn't feel right to me.

      • I've seen players doing this in Team Scorched, and the first time I was like a kid watching David Copperfield make an elephant disappear in a room full of people; "Holy crap how did that just happen?!?!"
