@@KioskNiko That, and also they’d need to make sure players were as close as possible to being equidistant from each other so that the grapples connect at the same time.

[@jensonspreutels]

@@KioskNiko That was not the problem, everyone did it at the right time. The terrain just gets in the way and because it is not a perfect circle people just get yeeted out because of centrifugal power

[@DangerVille]

That spin that happens when you melee the rocket is definitely theatre mode trying to show you hitting the target. Normally you’d home into another Spartan, so clearly theatre mode knows you hit something, and tries to track the rocket.

[@michaelzhang9806]

That’s basically what I guess, it was theatre mode trying to wrangle the Energy Sword lunge and showing you biting the thing, but since said object continued moving and was still alive it just turned and tracked

[@hisammy3969]

You need to go back and do the electricity arc again and get everyone to stand close to the initial zap. It might be a radius thing and not a max chain thing. Might also explain why you got 6 people on the 2nd test because the initial zap was in the centre of the 6

[@BringTheSteak]

You cab also try formations other than a line to test branching. You can try a triangle of people where the first row has 1 person, second 2 ppl, third four ppl etc to test if it will branch twice and still travel 6 deep for each individual arc. Or do the same with 1, 3, 9, etc to teat if itll branch three times and travel 6 deep.

[@spinal_capped]

Exactly! I feel like it might be an Area of Effect type thing.

as soon as i saw “throw fusion coil through dropwall” i died laughing. i learned this one the hard way.

[@Kobalent]

9:40 i imagine the plasma grenades don't stick to weapons because they are the only grenades intended to propel them out of racks, since there's the Combat Evolved medal that happens if you catch them out of the air (seen in the first MP trailer)

[@hugs4drugs205]

In a previous video they demonstrated that you can drop a weapon that's stuck with a plasma to avoid death, I know your referencing unequipped weapons but it still presents a physics paradox

[@Kobalent]

@@hugs4drugs205 it is possibly a specific override that happens when weapons are not being held by a player to make Combat Evolved's more consistent. the reason this override isn't present when holding the weapon is likely because they become extensions of the player's hitbox and it'd be counter-intuitive to have a grenade bounce off of an enemy's weapon when you can shoot it and inflict damage.

[@LivingAlkalineSolution]

I doesn't stick to weapons because plasma grenades only stick to player related objects. Such as a player, vehicle, or a currently held weapon. But not walls or floor weapons. While spike grenades are meant to just stick to the first surface they hit

[@sorcvelvet6784]

[@davidkauffman5842]

It looks like the chain lightning has more to do with proximity than number of chains. Would like to see you test ten people in a circle around a weapon instead of a line of people.

[@nobody6032]

Magic players know what chain lightning is

[@ShiningDarknes]

naw it is based of a damage calculation. It halves the damage ever arc from the previous arc and splits further half it (at least that is what it seems like) once the damage would be too little it stops. I think the max is probably hitting 12 targets but you would probably need a flat plane to work on to make sure everything is perfectly spaced.

[@southpawdevelopment]

Perhaps I can shed some light on the “stick to weapon and then pick it up” myth: in games like this, the weapon you see on the ground is NOT the weapon you pick up. Upon picking up a weapon, the weapon on the ground is deleted and it’s stats are transferred to a first/third person gun, created in your characters hands. Upon dropping a weapon, the process is similar, except the physical model is the same (not deleted and replaced, but is actually dropped) which is why when you drop a stuck weapon, the stuck items stays

[@dbb00kw0rm]

I suspect it's more for the Combat Evolved medal- if you toss a plasma onto a weapon platform, it launches the weapon to you. Doing this to a heavy weapon and catching it in midair gives you the Combat Evolved medal. If the plasma stuck to the weapon it'd make Combat Evolved much harder on heavies with large hitboxes like the SPNKR, Cindershot, and Skewer.

[@southpawdevelopment]

​@@dbb00kw0rm Thats probably how it works, yes, but this is pretty much standard in modern fps games

[@DillonStrichman]

I recall one of the halos' sandboxes retaining plasma/spike grenades upon pickup... maybe I'm imagining it though. You do describe the idea well though! a bigger mind-fuck is that the 3D model of the gun that other players see is often a totally different 3D model than the one that you see in first-person mode. The first person gun "model" includes the players arms! Of course this varies from game to game. I say this coming from a source engine background.

[@southpawdevelopment]

@@DillonStrichman right! The arms and legs you see are completely different from the character everyone else sees, it’s crazy.

[@Gains_Gaming_inc]

They actually give lore behind the plasma grenade. I don't no much of what's it's called but it is basically a smart grenade. It detects if what it has landed on is organic or had a organic attached to it. That's why you can still plasma grenade the weapon their holding.

[@aliendude99]

Thank you for introducing me to Ronald Jenkees, I can't believe I've missed out on his music for so long.

[@crayonboi3168]

3:50 you can do more arcs probably if you back up the players and do a pyramid type pattern going outwards towards the players with the guns. If u had enough players and guns on the ground in theory it could be infinite

[@ShiningDarknes]

No, it couldn't. Guns and players are treated the same as far as arcing is concerned. It also misbehaves when you form a circle and instead of arcing out from the center to all targets it will just choose 2. 2 seems to be the max number of splits per arc and 4 is the max number of arcs. But I guess if you want to get technical one arc would be infinite seeing as that is the name of the game.

[@pacostaco4life212]

I've had a lot of fun watching these mythbuster videos so far, so here's my suggestions: 1. An Overshield user can survive a stick from a grenade, spike or plasma 2. An Overshield user can survive a s7 sniper headshot 3. An Overshield user can survive a skewer shot (I'm pretty sure I survived one before)

[@Infernoraptor]

RE: coils and deployables: not everything else can go through: IIRC, stickies break it as well. Weirdest is sentinel beam: the damage goes through, but not the beam. (At least campaign)

[@ShiningDarknes]

Campaign behaves differently because balance doesn't have to be as strict.

Hey guys, I tweeted you about the melee “red bar” result, how you can get to absolute zero health and shields so that you can test it as a myth, as well as use it as a starting point for testing the equipment kills again. You would need three or more persons since one of the two melee players will die, and the other have no health.

[@jonahcraven8669]

When it comes to the discrepancy between spike and plasma grenades sticking to weapons, it does make sense given the explanation of how they work. A spike grenade sticks because it's literally covered in spikes that pierce what you throw it at, and metal piercing metal is totally reasonable. Plasma grenades, on the other hand, stick to people because when they activate, their surface becomes so hot that it melts flesh and fuses to the target. 180-190 degrees F is all that takes, if I recall correctly, while it would require a massively higher temperature to heat up the metal of a gun to the point where a grenade would nearly instantly weld to it.

[@scpWyatt]

What if you arc with a full warthog? Does that count as 3 arcs if there are three people, or one arc, since it’s one warthog? You might be able to get 12 people hit with a line of hogs.

[@AntonPrego]

grapple one truly was magnificent, keep it up 👍

[@GBlunted]

Yo, is that Ronald Jenkis?!! I haven't heard that shit forever... Damn, that dude's videos were like my first viral videos I had to show everyone when KZbin first came out lol! 👍🏽 Also, off course plasmas don't stick to the weapons because you're supposed to use plasma nades to launch weapons off pads to yourself! Also you might try throwing plasma nades through drop wall because I don't think they go and instead just blow up the wall which means it's the plasma material that just doesn't go through the wall which is kinda interesting... Maybe plasma rifles if that's true?

[@iraqifoodcart8447]

The grapple circle looked like so much fun

[@ivi_lDgaming]

This thumbnail really makes the difference, every video with a cool thumbnail have over 100k views

[@ahobopanda1640]

In the spike grenade propulsion test, using a closed environment like the hallways that have angled walls seems to be counter-intuitive. The spikes are made to launch in multiple directions, and they have the ability to bounce of walls in different directions, so it is technically possible that the spikes bounced off walls then hit you guys. I'm not sure if you tried throwing a couple spike grenade first without using propulsion, since you didn't show it in the video, but it would definitely help explain how it isn't the walls causing the spikes to hit people.

[@Sirscruggz]

I’m thinking that if you organize people in a pyramid pattern and then shoot them with an arc weapon than it could arc more. For instance if you replaced the guns on the ground with people it may still travel through them and shock more people

[@gabepatton9851]

With proper arrangement it makes sense that multiple splits might be possible, from what it looked like they didn't think to extend it by splitting it multiple different times, they only tried to split it further on the first layer.

[@Chelarino]

the threat sensor just disappearing is actually a relatively frequent occurrence in normal gameplay because when you stick it to a player, be they friend or enemy, and they die, the threat sensor also just gets deleted and doesn't get transferred to the ragdoll, similar to how it doesnt transition to your hands if you pick up a weapon it has been stuck to i assume that is because in both of these cases, the object the sensor is stuck to, and the one after switching states (concretely a living player vs. a ragdoll and a weapon on the ground vs. a weapon in hand) are two separate entities, and correctly transferring the sensor would be relatively complicated to do and most likely didn't fit into their already VERY tight timeframe i wouldn't necessarily say this is an oversight too, clearly there has been a lot of thought and love put into this sandbox. and in the case with the spike grenades they clearly programmed it so they specifically blow up instantly when they would normally just be deleted, so that they at least do something. and as for plasma nades they avoided it by having them not stick to weapons at all so obviously these edge cases have somewhat been thought about i think that considering this game is supposed to basically be a lifeservice game for the upcoming decade, they will maybe change up the sandbox at some point if they find time because niche scenarios like these really are what make a sandbox like this shine imo, so it would be nice if they would revisit these interactions at some point and actually make something cool happen whenever they organically happen and this basically applies to all or most of the busted myths across this series that they are just too niche of an interaction that they bothered to make them work completely, and that they will give them more love at some point well, that's what i hope at least, but maybe it's also completely intentional, i don't work for 343
