    Fast movers

    Question: How do you increase your movement speed?
    Gear set perk, or skill talent?

    Back story: I was farming Div-Tec in the DZ, voluntarily this time, and was jumped while hooking up on an extraction.
    Another player came and took on the Rogues while I respawned.
    He killed one and with my arrival, the other took off running.
    We could not catch this guy, I know you slow down when you ADS and shoot, but this guy was gone.

    I'm not accusing anyone of foul play, and I'm assuming this is a game mechanic that I've been unaware of.

    Not that I saw, but that doesn't mean he didn't when I was out of LOS.

    Does that increase your speed too then?

    It does briefly.

    However, it may have been lag. If it wasn't lag, then it definitely was the H word, because there isn't any passive skill or gear set bonus in the game that increases movement speed.

    There was no lag my end (that I was aware of), so I assume he popped his blue before running and I missed it.

    Thanks for the clarification.

    M+k on consoles gives players crazy directional speeds compared to a controller. Player movement speeds was increased in 1.8 so they move even faster now. Developers need to look into this because the directional change speeds are stupid, never seen anything like in on any other game.

    there is a speed hack some cheaters use.
    had a guy go rouge on me and my buddy using it awhile back,but we got him down and he could crawl faster than we could run after him.
    but he ran straight down the street so i used my sniper and finished him,then we took his gear.

    Not a speed hack but server lag. On the other players screen hes crawling at normal speeds but to you hes his body is flying all over the place. Similar things happens when you shoot a player and all most no damage happens, on your screen you are landing shots but on the other players screen he is in a slightly different possition and your shots are missing.

    In last stand a couple nights ago, me and a player on my team were running from C to B for hundreds of feet. He started out behind me, and then passed me, and ended up quite a bit ahead of me before I got to B. At the time I thought it was some gear perk, but now I am not sure. First time I ever saw someone run at a different pace than me. If popping a blue only lasts a short while, there is no way that explains it.

    I thought this thread was going to be about fighter jets doing flyovers over the city.
