CookieStorm Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 I just returned to the game after a very long time away and in the very first mission I played with other players I was being left in the dust. I use Volt and was having to jump-slide (which I know use to be faster than sprinting and still feels like it is) just to keep from lagging too far behind the other three players who were simply outrunning me on foot. Are there speed boost mods or some new sprinting mechanic that were introduced or that I've simply forgotten about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VergilDT Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Volt does seem rather slow for a lightning frame, without spamming Speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HasuShiro Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 There is a single sprinting mod.Besides that, try to get a feel for short sliding taps, instead of the long slides I see most people doing.Also, if you see a oppurtunity, abuse warframe's physics :pWall running and jumping in the right angle will slingshot you!

Sixty5 Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Use a speedy melee weapon. Copter for days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find that if you slide for the same amount of time as you run, there's no problem stamina and speed wise. 1 sec run, 1 sec slide. If you time it right I'm pretty sure the slide jump gives an extra boost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it is, you're a lucky b****rd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smithf Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 there is a aura mod that adds sprint speed: Sprint Boost, but it affects entire team. meaning that if they are already faster than you, they will still be relatively faster than you. I could not be sure, but long forward somersault (the forward somersault which jumps further than the usual somersault. could actually be a trivial case of slide-jump) followed by slide seems faster than wall-run-jump. Another useful thing after melee 2.0 is to use slide attacks which seems good for getting through a crowd of enemies, and still take down some of them in the process.

Regius-Knight Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Volt does seem rather slow for a lightning frame, without spamming Speed. Isn't Zephyr lighter than Air? So shouldn't it go. Volt > Zephyr > Loki? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spiralmenace Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 (edited) nobody ever talks about the front flip. i'm pretty sure it got buffed with u13 as i can usually fling myself average copter distance with it shift + alt + space I could not be sure, but long forward somersault (the forward somersault which jumps further than the usual somersault. could actually be a trivial case of slide-jump) followed by slide seems faster than wall-run-jump. e: yeah, this Edited April 22, 2014 by N7Vanquisher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CookieStorm Posted April 22, 2014 Author Share Posted April 22, 2014 Thanks for the replies everyone. I'll try to spend more time sliding on the ground than through the air, and maybe keep my eyes open for places where I can abuse the wall run. I love my Gram too much to give it up for something lighter, but if I have to I do have a Dark Sword I can switch to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renathy Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Apart from sliding and slingshooting, you can slide and press your jump key to do a front-flip, or simply use your melee weapon to copter your way through the map. (e.g.: Zoren; Glaive; Fang; etc. - Just add some fire-rate mods.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunamaniac Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Isn't Zephyr lighter than Air? So shouldn't it go. Volt > Zephyr > Loki? You'd think that would make sense, but then you remember that Rhino Prime is as fast as loki... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sebastianx Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Finally someone that WANTS to go fast instead of trying to slow everyone around him down and complaining "OMFG RUSHERS EHUHEUHEU" My friend, get the rush mod, get the dual zorens, equip them with the Fury mod and spam slide attacks, you'll enjoy the speed, ESPECIALLY if used with Volt's Speed.

PookieNumnums Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Wall launches and copters bro. Also baby slides. Also sprint boost aura Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingTaro Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Fast-Slide is my favourite and pretty much the best way to get around quickly. The reason why, is because the maps usually aren't long hallway rooms where you can use the full potential of a "slingshot slide". Now, for Fast-Slide, you need infinite stamina. And to get infinite stamina, you use Shield Flux on your Warframe and Guardian on your Sentinel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoboDoge Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Zorens, Scoliac, Fang Prime, Dakra Prime....any of these will do. Just use Fury mod on them, jump slide attack and you will propel yourself like crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
