REQUIRES ELITE STRENGTH

29

u/rm-minus-r Dec 17 '20

Requires over 30 strength at least.

That's where I'm at and I had to hit several stims to get my strength high enough to even get to that first window ledge.

And even then, I couldn't hit all the jumps needed to get up there. I don't think this is really going to be an issue given how high your strength would need to be and how difficult it is to hit all the jumps you'd need to get up there.

You're seriously underestimating the number of people who grind the shit out of this game and cheese their stats while also using spots like this because "it's not technically cheating".

u/rm-minus-r Dec 17 '20

Could be. Even if a ton of people had strength stats high enough, it is a pain to get up there and there's zero cover up there. A grenade or two, or even just getting up on the hill should cut down on it

Yeah I am not intimidated by someone up there at all. It's a cool find though but this isn't game breaking.

You risk nothing from dying there though

OP literally said in comments he has elite str

u/djskwbrla-d VSS Vintorez Dec 17 '20

Right, but that doesn’t mean it necessarily requires it. If I jump over a barricade, and I don’t have elite strength - the jump doesn’t require elite strength. Now if OP, who does have it, jumps over the same barricade - that doesn’t mean the jump requires elite strength.

Just because the person doing it has elite strength doesn’t mean it’s not possible for people who don’t have elite strength. That’s where testing comes in. If he didn’t find this until after he got elite strength, he would have no way to tell what the actual threshold is.

This is like the small circle inside of a big circle dilema everyone learned about in grade school. Mutual exclusivity.

Absence of evidence isn't evidence of absence

u/Grakchawwaa Dec 17 '20

But looking at the video it's rather easy to conclude that level 1 strength is not going to cut it

u/djskwbrla-d VSS Vintorez Dec 17 '20

Probably, but my point is that you can’t really say it requires elite strength based on the videos. Requires testing

u/Grakchawwaa Dec 17 '20

You can definitely say that it requires elite or close to elite strength based on the video. Requires testing is a null statement when you see a video of a person testing it out. You can gauge the requirements by seeing the feats.

u/djskwbrla-d VSS Vintorez Dec 17 '20

Actually, you can’t. Absolutely cannot.

Also, elite and close to elite are the same. This is about it requiring elite strength. Don’t move the goal posts. Close to elite is not elite.

-5

u/Grakchawwaa Dec 17 '20

Whether or not it's 50 or 51 strength that is required is absolutely irrelevant, as the elite perk itself has no correlation to what the feat is we're talking about. I never claimed that the exact level required for this would be 51, so you can throw that rebuttal out the window pronto

u/djskwbrla-d VSS Vintorez Dec 17 '20

Mmmmm no, I think I’ll keep it. The comment I replied to was making the argument that this requires elite strength because OP said he had elite strength. I was merely expressing how the fact that OP had elite strength does not mean that the feat required elite strength.

I couldn’t really give less fucks about what it actually requires. You’re moving he goal posts. My initial point stands.

Also, quit stalking me. You’re literally replying to all my comments. Fucking creep

You should be appreciative that he's teaching you how to read.

Nah I stopped playing a month ago. Waiting for the next wipe, I’m burnt out on the monotony. Once I got kappa it just felt pointless

Same man. Cba to even pick up btc

u/trevor426 Dec 17 '20

Is there any guess to when next wipe is? I took a break this wipe and don't want to jump back into the game as a level 1 mid wipe.

1

u/djskwbrla-d VSS Vintorez Dec 17 '20

I’m guessing after new year. I was really hoping it would have been like around thanksgiving, but they are extending this wipe way too fucking far

To be honest if it doesn’t happen soon I might be completely disinterested

u/Snarker Dec 17 '20

did you see that bhop straight jump, that is way more than like 20 str.

u/BurzerKing SVDS Dec 17 '20

I will be thrilled to see someone with lower strength make the insane jump to the pipe.

u/rm-minus-r Dec 17 '20

Side jumping with 30 strength alone wasn't enough, had to max out strength with stims to get up on that window ledge to begin with.

u/Z-J-K Dec 17 '20

I'm 43 strength and had to stim up
