Did they patch the jet pack melee boosting?

[Voltaire]

Yesterday I was able to perform the melee boost, which I find to be very useful for covering ground on foot, but now after updating the game I seem to be unable to do it. Is this just patched out or am I just having bad luck with it?

[Phobos]

Same problem here... VERY disappointed...

Fixed an animation glitch that could occur while melee boosting.

i don't have that problem though, i think the timing is different, or you're using rocket boosters.

Yep I just updated, it still works for me too, it just doesn't spam the melee attack if you keep pushing the melee attack key while in boost.

"Fixed an animation glitch that could occur while melee boosting."???
I the love the game, but hate the mecanism of slow walking/running/flying... dont need remove the impulse from meele attack in the air, good for travel above the water or better distance in ground.

[disastrophe]

oh no this might actually ruin the game for me, haha

[LieweFritz]

I can still melee and boost like always.

only fixed the animation glitch ?

the "jet pack melee boosting" just works for the first movement in the ground. You cant use the attack while flying/swinmming.

The melee boost still works as always. What they patched out was the ability to keep doing it in the air and travel a quarter way around the planet at increasing speeds.

I never even knew this was a thing!

oh no, now its harder to find S grade resource node :(

[Tangledtaffy]

They didn't remove it, just nerfed it. You can still melee boost for a quick burst of extra speed but you can't keep doing it in midair to essentially become a human spaceship. I tried it and as long as I melee once and don't spam it, seems to work just fine so it's mostly just about getting the timing down.

Apparently it showed up as a new feature in Expeditions. Players were exploiting it...I wish I had known...sounds fun. There are some vids showing it in action. Pretty cool looking...but would make ships kind of pointless except to go to different planet.
