i can't roll after a long fall... am i doing something wrong?

[Zere]

i've already tried spamming the crouch button, or keep it pressed before falling, but aiden will always crush himself on the ground

[Mortilla]

Yes, most likely.

Try even longer falls. :]

[Vinnolo]

aiden only rolls after really long falls, otherwise a very short animation where he puts his hand on the ground plays

If you changed the Key for crouching that can mess it up. I changed it from C to CTRL and could never get it to work. Changed it back to C and now it works

[vonSchroeder]

Unless they fixed it in one of the recent patches, the roll skill doesn't work on a re-bound crouch key. So, if you rebound crouch to Ctrl, for example, Ctrl will not work for the roll skill. I ended up binding crouch back to C and it works. I don't know if you can leave crouch bound to another key and still use C for the skill.

Unless it's bugged, from my experience there is a minimum height you have to jump from for you to even be able to use an active landing skill. I mash the crouch button as well just before hitting the ground

If you die when you hit the ground from full health the active landing wouldnt of helped at all anyway. Besides the exception of landing on a trash pile or car roof, since you can land on them from any height and take no damage

i had the same issue, right before you hit the ground HOLD your ctrl key and the roll should happen. Don't just press it once before you land, hold it down before you land and you'll roll.

Seems to only be triggerable once youve fallen a certain height.. but not TOO high... like other skills it's way too finicky and situational that you can't rely on it.

Far as I'm concerned it should work from any height greater than a single story... because rolling is cool and I should be able to use it all the time. Just another bewderingly bad design decision to throw on the dl2 fire...

you can trigger it by just standing in place, you get parkour points everytime you trigger it, hold jump and activate it, you can farm points this way

if you changed crouch button, roll button remain C anyway. mods could fix it, or just put C when u need to roll, not your crouch key

It works 100% of the time actually, even when you do regular jumps on the ground which you can confirm by parkour exp gain each time you do it. The only thing that changes based on height is animation and I would argue that making it a roll regardless of height would make it really distracting and annoying real quick.

I did spent hrs trying just doesn't work for me so I'm guessing it's bugged

I didn't rebind it, and even for me it worked about half the time, whether I pressed ctrl just before landing or held it for the entire duration of the fall.

did you unlock the skill? it's a lot strange that this doesn't work at all
