In videos that I have seen, players are able to sprint while carrying chests or other 2-handed loot by dropping while sprinting but immediately activating the pick-up button again while running. This allows players to sprint while carrying a chest which, I believe, is not how the devs intended the game to work. I would like a patch to fix this exploit so players cannot sprint while carrying loot.
Chest Drop-running
@sten-whik said in Chest Drop-running:
It's a classic move from CTF of the Halo series so may be intentional.
I know, right??!! This has been going on for years!!
On a side note, it works especially well when swimming (not just for sprinting). And the new accessibility settings that let you tap the button instead of holding it to pick up chests make it so pretty much anyone can do it.
@toastyrar05 I've known that it's been in the game forever - I only spoke up because the OP did. For me, personally, it's not that big of an issue (I can always just shoot them, after all), but still one that I don't think could hurt overall if it were addressed. I've tried to do it, and I don't think it's as easy as you make it out to be. You have to be really coordinated to do the whole thing consistently - I usually pull too far ahead after about the 4th attempt at dropping and retrieving it, and have to waste time backtracking, so in general, I just don't do it.
