Losing speed while BHopping

[Starlight]

I use a free-floating mouse wheel to BHop, but when I hit the ground I almost always lose all of my speed and go back to the default walk pace. Anything I'm doing wrong?

Did you shoot in the air? That's probably why, as shooting defaults you back to walking, even while airborn, you need to start running again, either while in the air, or when hitting the ground, otherwise you'll lose your momentum.

is it like cod and you cant bhop forever?

This happens even on the spacerig. Sometimes on the first jump I will keep the speed but afterwards I lose it after another one

Weird, maybe check your dash setting, it could be set to hold instead of keep input.

If you mean the hold to sprint option, I use the hold to walk mod. Disabling it or trying it both with hold/toggle sprint doesn't change anything either, I just instantly lose all momentum upon hitting the ground

Alright, this sounds like a bug to me. you should prob just report it to the bug section, and see if someone with better knowledge can help you there

you can only manage about 1 bhop and they'll only conserve momentum from something like dash or an RJ250 jump, they can't magically speed you up by themselves

you can also try using the hold space to bhop mod

If you want to make it really easy you could jus t install
https://mod.io/g/drg/m/hold-to-jump-bhop
to auto-jump as soon as you hit the Surface and
https://mod.io/g/drg/m/sprint-by-default-hold-to-walk
to auto-sprint so you dont loose Momentum (but beware the Sprint Mod does not work with the second Wind Perk)

[kestrel]

bhopping loses extra momentum even if you're frame perfect or have the hold to jump mod. you cant build extra speed from bhopping either so there's ultimately not much point. at best you're just going the same speed as regular sprinting

you can verify this by sliding down the window in the space rig and trying to bhop off it. i havent found any way to conserve the momentum gained from the slide. i think the engine just isnt coded for it

which is fine tbh. bhopping would be extremely stupid and unbalanced in a game like DRG
