This Is Going To Sound Embarrassing... (Tonkor)

[TARINunit9]

How do you Tonkor jump? I've been able to pull it off maybe once every five tries, and I'm not sure what it was that was going on during the successful tries. I've been trying it the same way you'd rocket jump in TF2 and the like, shooting slightly after you jump

2 ways, 

 

Firstly just aim down and shoot your feet. 

 

secondly shoot ahead and then run over the nade. (can be tricky to setup in the right place you want)

Due to the camera position and crosshair angle, it is pretty tricky rocket jumping yourself correctly. Of we could just get a radial adjustment to the player hitbox or hitting are for the player while using the Tonkor, that would fix it.

Like TF2 or even UT2004/2007, since they are ego perspective based, it is way easier aiming right below the center of your character and having a 99% chance launching yourself into the air.

Shoot at your feets while running it should do the trick

Heavy caliber make jumps harder, but with Split Chamber you'll jump even if don't want to.

I do jump when I blast those ugly faces from their heads at arm's length.

 Are you saying the Tonkor jump works without pressing my spacebar? Just aim down while on the ground?

[maimus]

yep, no jump needed 8)

You don't exactly shoot at your feet. You (usually) shoot the grenade to the floor right under you so that it bounces right to your frame, resulting in a contact explosion which propels your frame. It doesn't matter where you shoot it. If the grenade bounces and hit your frame, you will do a Tonkor jump.

Um... you just shoot at your feet and boom, you're launched. It works 100% of the time.

This is not TF2, just shoot down at your feet, no spacebar needed.

Its the projectile that contacts you and then the explosion propels you.

Tonkor jumping is rather tricky, and if you have an uneven surface it becomes borderline impossible. But it is doable.

What I like to do is walk forwards and aim down just a tad above the lowest possible point, jump and then shoot my Tonkor. I've practiced this technique enough to land the jump 90% of the time, you could try that.

Jump not needed, just aim straight down at your feet and shoot.

[rudman88]

technically the only reason why youu keep failing the tonkor jump because you dodge the tonkor bomb by jumping.

So? And why are there multiple threads about that the tonkor isn't working quite as intended?

Weird, must be an illusion.

 

Fact: Running and sliding, aiming down and shooting the tonkor WON'T always result into a successfully air launch, period.
