Boomerang / Boomrang stacks

[bla]

How many of them can we stack up to? Did you try? I tried up to 3.

If say it stacks up to 100 (like the arrows) I don't think stacking them up more than 2 or 3 would help? Because it seems you can only throw 2-3 rangs consecutively for the throwing animation on your character to play out completely.

Thus having for example 4 stacks of rangs make the last one never thrown anyway?

I had no idea you can throw multiple boomerangs

The limit is probably 3, that is the limit for bombs.

Me too. Thanks for pointing this out!

My game only allows me to throw one :/

i can only use one at a time and boomarangs always last why would you carry 3? then the triple blade returns so fast there would be no time to throw more.. makes no sense to carry 3 of a weapon that returns. ive been using the same one for a week

I carried double instead of triple earlier and carrying three DOES makes a difference.

Especially when either A: The earlier boomerang hits an object (like a rock) on its return path causing delay, or B when I make the return path arc-ing (radial) instead of in-line.

I have tried to stack 4 of them and it was still possible but am not intending to go further as I have now start to distribute the boomerang for my other characters.

In essence the experiment concludes:
- WIth Triple rangs you could carry 2-3 you can definitely see the difference in case of A/B I mentioned above, (Faster ready time for the 3rd throw)

- With Double you would be best served carrying 3. I've managed to throw 3 of them all around the screen wildly arcing 3 sides laying waste to hordes of zombies (didn't hold button ) and interrupting their attacks/movements.

- carrying 4 gives no benefit for both types


Try it yourself esspecially with double to see the obvious advantage.

If you don't already know you can also alter the return path of the boomerang using your mouse movement so that it makes a wide angle arc on the way back (for example if you want to hit enemies that are spread out instead of in line)

LOL.... You might get me started on playing CO-Op....


btw if you want to try it out quickly just Uncombine the triple rangs and/or "borrow" the other necessary bones from your other characters/co-op friends.
