[@newhampguy]

Lol! It's like Skiing in tribes and boosting yourself with an impact nitron!

[@sullivan108]

Damn I miss Tribes

[@AceArata]

Playing Icarus jump jets with impulse grenades feels so much like playing Pharah that as a Pharah main, I feel right at home. Then rock up with an NS Tanto and its free kills

[@YOnuTz02]

For me it also feels closest to tracer, since i main her and I like to zoom around, having the mobility in any game is a plus for me.

[@Yorvast]

As drifter LA myself I always thought that Icarus jets were kind of a meme, the horizontal speed or lack of it always made me switch to skirmishers just cause of the balanced horizontal/vertical thrust. I guess this combo won't make me use Icarus jests for vertical traversal either way, but it's good to know that this synergy exists.

[@Boomchacle]

I main drifter as well but I might start using Icarus jets a bit more for certain situations. I don't have the directive carbine and can't afford a lot of grenades so these aren't quite as useful for me yet.

[@Direblade11]

I've used Icarus and am a drifter main. Launching vertical is great for 1v1s, but I still like the versatility of drifters. With this Icarus set maxed out, I could respond to incoming sunderers immediately during a base defense. That is exciting.

[@BattlebornReapers]

Be sure to twist to the side when using these jets, you don't need impulse, you can move horizontally if you jump and jet then twist to the right or left.

[@EcchiRevenge]

Problem here is that for ambusher-like performance, you're limited in underslung and grenade number(and grenades cost nanites which could be a problem if you're c4-ing all the time). 9:23 - KCAP ammo: "Finally! A Worthy Opponent! Our Battle Will Be Legendary!"

[@CAMIKAZE78]

While this is true, the underslung can be resupplied with engineer ammo packs which happens more often than not. And it was pretty rare for me to run out of Nanites if I was in the groove. LOL at the KCAP ammo.

[@CBeavr]

@@CAMIKAZE78 What would you recommend for those of us who don't have ASP unlocked yet and, therefore, do NOT have access to an SMG secondary on LA?

[@Direblade11]

@@CBeavr The recommendation is farm and play optimally, or just have fun and accept the wait. If you want to recreate the build, you could use impulse Grenades and C4 very sparingly to defend bases from either sundies or maxes. Having said that, imo investing your certs into other things is better

[@HeliGungir]

DarkFlight was the real Icarus pioneer, way back in 2013 or so. Sadly he hid his videos about two years ago. There are two OG lessons that later Icarus guides do not cover: 1. You can use vehicles to gain MASSIVE horizontal momentum. Turbo + Icarus = jump pad, anywhere 2. You can bounce off steep slopes and angled rocks to gain SUBSTANTIAL horizontal momentum. This is the technique the general public doesn't realize exists, or is strong. If you're up on one roof, you'll often be able to fall down onto a sloped rock (or whatever), bounce off it (start jumpjetting right before you hit it), and have well more than enough horizontal momentum to cross to the next building. Icarus recharges so fast that you can have full fuel before hitting the ground again, letting you chain bounces one after the other. You know how you can bounce down the north face of The Crown? With Icarus, that's something you can do in almost every base. Because almost every base has rocks and/or those guardrails that are notorious for bouncing you (the ones on every triple stack).

[@bananaboye3759]

Just to clarify, the horizontal air braking mechanic does not only apply to high speeds like impulse jumping and jump pads. Whenever you're moving horizontally, you should be facing 90 degrees from your direction of travel. The Icarus jets' horizontal speed is fine when you do this, even without assistance from impulse nades or surfing. I can't even use skirmishers or drifters anymore because they feel too slow, with or without impulse grenades.

[@CAMIKAZE78]

Definitely a good point to raise mate, appreciate it.

[@alpha-do7xf]

but with drifter or skirmisher you can slingshot yourself straight to the next base. I think i even managed to get across 1 hex once (with drifter obviously) but i cant confirm since it was too long ago.

[@bananaboye3759]

@@alpha-do7xf Meanwhile, Icarus: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hYeToKmBg7Gooq8

[@alpha-do7xf]

@@bananaboye3759 this video tells me that you definitely are a good light assault player, but to be honest its not a big deal to get cross flat surface like that (love your nade management tho). And yes you can get exactly the same result with your casual drifter but without using nades and impulse launcher.

[@bananaboye3759]

@@alpha-do7xf Yeah, although drifter jets tend to bleed off velocity faster because you need them to always be on, which makes horizontal air braking worse. There's a reason Icarus is the jumpjet of choice for surfing. I just hopped onto that amp station to test how far I could go off a non-biolab jump pad, but apparently baldur amp doesn't have pads. So I decided to record surfing to the next base, and see how far I could go without using impulse grenades. I only needed them to stay up after traveling around 300m, and that's realistically more than you need to be able to travel nine times out of ten.

[@gorgorjim]

I've been making a fool of myself in the warpgate, trying to learn skiing/surfing. Then I remembered that there was a Cami video about Icarus jets that I hadn't finished watching. You saved me a lot of pain. Thank you! Bootbag from Connery TR sends his regards.

[@BattlebornReapers]

I've mained these jets since their release, welcome to the club. Everyone always widely falsely assumes they only go up(without impulse) twisting to the side is the meta! Can go just as far and as fast as Skirmy

[@Direblade11]

Twisting as in? Like looking? Strafing? Moving about an axis?

[@BattlebornReapers]

@@Direblade11 As you jet, turn to the right/left, goes about as far as Skirmisher and people don't know that. Edit: you'll want to burst the jets too, hold on it for a good one second at a time roughly.

[@dirtpoorchris]

Another thing its good for is Amuteresu knife. Once enemy is setting up their aim for your head you just jump straight up and they have to reaim and now you are raining energy blade waves down upon their head.

[@ActualRilwer]

Finally, someone preaching about Icarus jump jets. Been using them for over a year now and legit can’t play without them. Just straight up better than skirmishers with the speed of ambushers. I was actually trained by Ganidiot in 1 on 1 lessons himself. Then onward we had a rooftop rivalry whenever we were both on. The Church of Icarus thanks you 🙏

[@Dplusithicus]

9:45 was a perfect time to scare them by drizzling a few shots at them, followed by an impulse grenade -throwing them over the edge, to their deaths. Impulse grenades are an interesting tool. They don't just yeet you, they yeet enemies too (including other deployables that haven't yet touched the ground).

[@Dplusithicus]

Also, a carbine with an underbarrel grenade launcher is a perfect way to monetize the anti-vehicle AOE damage multiplier for maximum cert gain. I've killed all manner of vehicles with the underbarrel grenade launcher (including liberators, mid-air while my rocket pods have been emptied.) Underbarrel grenades do a total of 1250 damage per shot, and you get 3.

[@McMackster]

After watching this video I tried out the Icarus/pulse nade combo and my god it's amazing. It's like dog fishing in an aircraft, but all your targets are ground bound and slow. Absolute menace to any Tera bound infantry. Then I came across another light assault sporting the same build and it was the funnest light assault duel ever.

[@furiouswolf8831]

You should try Lasher+resistance shield with scorpion+assasin and sweeper hud implants on the Vanu heavy assault. I never felt useless as I was always either splashing through doorways and windows with lasher, or pocket orbital striking the enemy camping behind cover, revealing all the enemies on the minimap thanks to the assasin implant.

[@crochetcocoking4275]

I've been running the Icarus with some success with the ammo restock implant + Regen + punisher adaptive barrel. Otherwise I would say safe fall + Regen + grenade bandolier for more impulse is good enough too. When not comfortable with falling, always pick safe fall, you won't ever have to worry about it unless you're falling from an ESF. The punisher with adaptive barrel is always good to have as a secondary.

[@provalivay]

it's funny that when i've started to play PS2 while ago, maining LA class, i've started with Icarus jets because of things that you've said here: great mobility in CQC fights, especially when you have a lot of space above you. Also it gives that wild possibilities to jump-dive-jump shooting at the floors above you, when enemy doesn't expect that you'll appear again so quickly. Somewhere after 50lvl i've switched to more common Skirmisher jets, but in fact, it affects only your movement capabilities, which is mostly good for Vehicle destruction or positioning. Trying to fight with infantry with Skirmisher jets is a suicide, as you moving to slowly, like a balloon. You know what, perhaps i will get back to Icarus, as this video raised my good memories about them :D

[@CallofWar5]

Pretty dope playstyle. Thanks for sharing. This game is so cool man.

[@Hardbootbu]

NSO have more lattitude loadouts wise with LA , as they can get regeneration implant effect on their suit slot with nanite auto repair , they also can unlock the dreaded newton carbine via directives .

[@GrdDog]

This reminds me of playing Tribes series of games; only the skiing is alot more controlled.

[@mjolnir1906]

I am glad you changed your opinion on these. They are incredibly fun to use.

[@AirOne1333]

did not listen to you back in the time and tried the icarus, and god i love them and am never used the other ones since

[@hewkan8481]

2:18 dang bro, what a goal

[@tka4nik]

I just want to emphasize - you do not NEED impulse nades to have good horizontal momentumn with icarus. For most of the situations available nearby terrain is more than enough, or even better - just a quick sprint and jump + 90 degrees turn will give you plenty of horizontal momentumn to work with in and near buildings.

[@soldierhobbes1182]

Yeah I play with a few Surf Assault mains and they’ve told me you need the Icarus jets for this. Drifters end up being way slower cuz they kinda cancel the speed from impulse nades.

[@CAMIKAZE78]

Yeah exactly, the Horizontal thrust that the drifters have just overrides any gained momentum from the impulses, so its not a great combo there.

[@joshuaturcotte6724]

Honestly Synergy kits could be worked into the faction and that wouldnt hurt anyone realistically. I feel the need for gear to be more faction dependant and not weapon reliant would be a good method to roll. Maybe make some quirky jump jets that work with items from kit/weapon options. Maybe a LA has a slippery glide mode between jumps for VS, you cant control travel at all, but if you shoot your gun the recoil impulse becomes reverse movement instead (would be tricky, but fast firing guns producing low recoil will move you less then a slow heavy hitter) and negates recoil significantly while hipfiring (Vertical only)? (Concept that could be visited by a video Camikaze78, could fix the issues of what happened with the weapons showcase they dropped where some weapons with the major update) Engineer main here, LA are the bain of my existance when we get hole up. Its a fine balancing line that I can appreciate as the game otherwise would be just stale. Love the content!

[@LanzerYT]

Great content. I'll give this a try

[@SecularMentat]

I love the updated loadouts section.

[@JulienB]

Drifters though... You even have a catlike drifter build on this channel, it does everything this one does, without running dry mid air. And it relies much less on impulse nades, while still making full use of them when available.

[@alpha-do7xf]

i got some footage (wanted to make a video right after update but gave up on that one) of me doing test runs (with obstacles and without) with icarus and impulse nades and i have to say that my best result was 600 meter mark (average was 300-400 meters)

[@MurhaajaFasaani]

Been using only icarus for the longest time, glad you see the light

[@kestutisstugys1189]

I used to use those to jump over a wall and drop C4 and grenades on the opponent's heads.

[@lizardjoel]

I think I'll use my ASP for the smg secondary I love light assault with impulse nades, drifter/standard, acx11 with grenade launcher and long range setup or another long range gun and minor cloak plus ammo printer to find sniping perches plus lob long distance one hit kill grenades from underbarrel with ammo printer refilling then constantly and minor cloak to take cover and clear spots whenever spotted / be safe and invis when waiting for people to fight like a real inflil using a semi auto sniper from cannopy level.

[@soulshinobi]

This looks fun as hell and I'm definitely going to give it a try. Your comments on this being the fastest load out however leads me to believe you really haven't spent a whole lot of time with the ambusher jump jets which have become my primary (50% of all play time this year).

[@bananaboye3759]

Even with flight suit, ambusher can't compete with even the horizontal mobility of icarus with impulse grenades.

[@quekZo95]

@@bananaboye3759 combine ambusher with the impulse nades and the nades cost too much nanites and you just have 2 of them. Ambusher is just the best with flight suit and a shotgun

[@bananaboye3759]

@@quekZo95 Impulse nades are pretty cheap, and you can always equip a gun with an underbarrel impulse launcher if you're running low on nanites. You can also surf or use pocket flashes to gain speed with Icarus jets, which ambushers can't really do. The comment I replied to was talking about speed, and icarus jets have a much higher top speed than ambushers and can cover a lot more ground.

[@TotalDefiance]

Ironic that I just watched that Light Assault Guide yesterday, so this video's title really surprised me.

[@Voxdalian]

I've always preferred running the more balanced jetpack, but since the Impulse grenade meta I'm really considering swapping over to that as well. Not that it matters much, I still main a sniper, though these new LAs can get to me way too fast wherever I am. It messes a bit with how I play, but I love a bit of an upset of the meta.

[@chrisbergin7209]

We have to get a surf sesh now that you have finally decided to join the dark side. great stuff Cami. Fortuna (or any directive carbine) primary gives you 4 impulse along with punisher secondary gives you 2. It takes long range surfing to a whole new level and for free. I would use the handhelds more but they break into my sweet sweet nanites to much. see you surfside broTHERR.

[@heist3336]

Along with Grenade Bandolier, it gives the player 14 Impulse hops, which is probably more than enough to cross the entirety of Indar lol.

[@LetustheDragon]

That sundy at 2:19 was pretty cinematic.

[@gpheonix1]

65% of game time is on la on my main account and been playing since release. Icarus to me is a must for urban settings. I typically use them to decrease down time on horizontal travel or to disengage quickly. I've been using them since they came out. I just simply don't like how slow the regular jets are. For a bit now I've tried going back and using the regular jets, but I've been wanting to have them back on my cqc-med kit too. Also, there's actually still a bit of good horizontal movement. However, that's mainly on the side so you kind of have to do a 90 degree turn anytime you want to get some horizontal distance. It's enough to still give a lot of horizontal inertia when slingshotting off of jump pads. One good example is using the jump pads hurakan amp station to sling shot directly to the point of hurakan secure storage.

I hate how slow the drifter/skirmishers feel. I run exclusively Icarus and ambusher. gotta go fast

I was playing against an NSO on vanu the other day using them and fighting him felt like I was skeet shooting. Personally, the jets that made me finally realize I love light assault are drifter. I can do so much cheeky stuff including just bumrushing people and having my head ever so slightly above where most people's "click the head" muscle memory is, I live longer and can get away with stuff. I really disliked the regular jump jets, these ones are fun but not for my low skill level, but drifter is where I get away with the most shenanigans Also drifter is how you get that stupid "deal 3000 damage while airborne" part of the daily mission. Drifter + tanto or GR7 /w laser sight and short barrel has truly transformed my opinion on light assault. I still want some kind of mid to long range option for a light assault that isn't a pistol or the crossbow. Just give me a slow firing, moderate damage semi auto or bolt action. Let the Light assault use the longbow, lol.

[@khmnc]

the problem with this is you are using a very limited stock consumable for movement. so if you have 2, then that's 2 jumps and you're stuck. i do see that you're using some sort of under-barrel attachment to make up for the lack of nads, but i don't seem to have access to anything like that.

[@ausomrat7723]

Personally for the suit slot I like to use adrenaline pump since it then adds movement speed which you can use when flying up with icarus jetts instead of the ammo belt since you have a secondary punisher which is arguably one of the best smgs in the game currently.

[@CAMIKAZE78]

The adrenaline pump is a great call, definitely something worth considering. As I said though, it's less about the ammo capacity and more about the reload speed buff. In addition, the SMG secondary does have a slower weapon equip time against a standard pistol, so there's some issues there to consider.

[@CAMIKAZE78]

Disagree personally - Paratrooper only works for you when you take damage, and as a class that feeds on flanking, the idea is to not get shot in every fight, limiting your return on investment. Flight Suit is nice to have, but not a must imo.

[@PatrixBest]

Look, with Impulse grenades ( and to an extent Catlike 5 ) the skirmisher jets are truly the Jack of all Trades. Icarus? Impulse boost upwards ( or even just Catlike 5 jump boost ). Ambusher? Impulse boost forwards. Drifter? Chain impulse boosts laterally. Going through your video, I actually don't see what it is you find in the Icarus jets that you couldn't also have done with Skirmishers, but I do see several instances where the limited fuel capacity has caused you to miss landings or fall short of your target. Plus you're heavily reliant on Impulse grenades, where Skirmishers can do without them and make limited use of them when you really need that boost. One of the few advantages you have is a faster rate of ascent when starting your boost from mid-air. You might consider the ability to boost mostly directly towards your target an advantage, but usually flying directly towards a target is a bad idea as it makes YOU an easy target, even if you're moving at great speed. It is generally beneficial to jump off-angle from your target and use the standard lateral movement that you would with the other jets because then it puts that speed advantage to use by moving in a direction that makes it harder for your target to aim at and track you.

[@CharChar2121]
