Is the travel-trick with pulse nobelisk still working?

[Doc✪Hollywood✪4✪Ukraine]

if yes: how exactly do you perform this trick?

Even if I explode 6 of them and jump at the same time I'm only getting 45 meter high. I was reading that they could be used like a hypertube canon ...

I think they nerfed the distance the stun prod can trigger them at unless you're right on top, so its almost impossible to get a running start for jumping.

Unless you havent done this before, in which case use the basic stun prod and poke them, will cause the stack to detonate all at once. Individually the nobelisk arent that strong, but stacks are

Thank you. Yes, I was just jumping, not running or glide jumping.

What do you exactly mean with "stun prod"?
And then with "the distance the stun prod can trigger"?
and with "use the basic stun prod"?

I'm guessing the xeno-zapper, but I have never seen it used to detonate nobelisk.

With "stun prod" he means the basher ... ah, oh okay.

He is proposing to hit the staple of pulse nobelisks with the basher to make them explode all at once.

I gonna try this. I was afraid they would hae nerfed the stun nobelisks but if it's only the basher, then it should still work. I might lay the nobelisks on a 4-5 meter foundament to speedily slide jump over them. The range of the basher is 4 meters

Okay more details on using nobelisk, sorry for not being clearer.

So nobelisk, when you place multiple, will always detonate in a sequence, and cannot be used to detonate each other. It looks cool, but has dubious functionality. The only way to detonate them simultaneously is if you detonate them manually with the xeno-zapper. You poke them point blank. Yes, the range of the xeno-zapper is pitiful. So its pretty silly way to blow yourself up UNLESS you're using pulse nobelisk. (supposedly the basher can do this too?)

Individual pulse nobelisk don't have much force, but a single pulse nobelisk combined with running slide-jump is decent for traversal. You can do this easily with some timing of the detonation. However if you REALLY want those big distances that hypertube cannons are known for, or just larger jumps, then you need to lay stacks of pulse nobelisk.

About 5 stack will get you a kilometer, an 8 stack is sufficient for a few kilometers, and 10-12 will get you just about anywhere on the map. Works wonders with biofuel powered jetpacks. Well, these are old numbers back when you could run-slide jump and use the zapper. You need to stand juuust off to the side when poking so you don't go straight up, but not too far off to the side or you'll just go sideways. Ideal launch angle is 30-60 degrees.

Interesting. Are these numbers with jetpack or without?
