Lately, I've been trying to use this jump offensively and it's just not really working out.
The weapon ready time is killer I find, and even when I try to open with a grenade, it just doesn't seem to really work for me. 9/10 I end up getting killed as I try to use it to close the gap and enemy players simply back up and gun me down or if I do manage to close the gap, the time it takes for me to actually be able to use my weapons, I will almost always lose the following gun fight.
Timing appears to be key, but out of all the jumps, this is the one I think I understand the least.
I know that it will carry you in the direction that your momentum is going, as well as allow you to "clip" past terrain.
However, I feel so...vulnerable whenever I use this jump, at least when I try to go on the offensive with it. Shade step seems far superior to it and is more versatile while not handicapping your weapon ready times.
I want to get better however, so any advice would be appreciated.
Should I stop trying to use it offensively and use it more as a defensive jump to escape enemy fire or am I just using it wrong when I try to close the gap on enemy players?
