How the hell do you grenade jump?

[Eat3n]

I have an un-modded grenade, jump at the top of the second bounce and nothing. Works maybe 30% of the time. Is there some trick to it? I'm using Krieg is he just to fat?

[Aporia]

If I remember correctly, jump at the beginning of the third bounce

It's because of Krieg, he also can't do the jump challenge thingy in the mines because of his size.

Jesus, i really need to fully read posts before I comment or change my nick to Captain Edit.

Krieg was programmed to be heavier than the other classes because the developers thought it would be stupid to have a melee orientated class that could be pushed back by enemies so easily.

I say it's stupid to have the boing away mechanic at all. How many fights you seen irl where people bounce away when hit? It's an annoying mechanic, nothing more. They reduced it with Krieg but should have removed it altogether with Krieg's release. No doubt invented by the same ♥♥♥♥ dev that came up with slag.

Nothing is more anti fun than getting pinballed by monsters you are stronger than who remain in place after a punch while they bounce you back. At least make it fair.

So you're saying i'm up ♥♥♥♥ creek then if i'm trying to grenade jump up to the ledge out of the reach of Pyro Pete?

Krieg can do that jump actually, I've done it to trap Pete up there. It is just harder with Krieg.

I managed to do it once but it was pure luck. I can't grenade jump consistently. Most times when i try with Pete i can't do it and he rapes me from behind before i have a chance to get up there.

Actually if you go and jump into that corner you can sometimes wedge yourself in such a way that you can keep hitting the jump button and kind of climb up.

Doesn't always work AND it's not that fast. Both of those things are bad when Pyro Pete has his rape face on.

Have you tried getting a low-level badaboom and timing your grenade jumps to coincide with rocket jumps? I'm not sure it would help Krieg at all, but it may be worth a shot.

Well, i've never tried rocket jumping (couldn't even do it in TF2) but i've been trying to farm for a Badaboom but King Mong is being an ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, so i don't have one at any level.

It's no big deal.

I've been practicing grenade jumping with Maya in normal mode, using a low level 3290 or so standard grenade. Does using a more powerful grenade provide a higher jump? Or does it really matter? So far, so good, got the timing down pretty well on second bounce. I had tried this with my TVHM nades...heh, was funny ;)

Necro alert.
@silversong, the trick with grenade jumping is to unequip any grenade mods. Throw at the ground and jump over the grenade. When it goes off, it will boost the jump. This takes some practise to get right.
