Snow Fox dismount

[Shadow[Ger]]

Why on earth do you get dismounted from the Snow Fox when an Ice Worm starts doing it's thing. How on earth am I supposed to traverse this area when I can't outrun an Ice Worm because of the dismount and I have to repair the Snow Fox every 5 meters. This is aweful! Jesus christ!

Its one of the reasons I just started to use the PRAWN. ♥♥♥♥ the snowfox, its useless and got me killed twice.

yes. some of the orgional early access art showed lady riding the bike super fast with her hair whipping behind her. then in practice it's big worms urging you to slow down constantly. then exploding. kind of annoying. how does the worm even sense the fox if you arn't touching the ground?

There is a module for the snowfox that reduces worm attacks. It is found in the arctic spires.

i saw that on the wiki. i just kind of initially thought the purpose of the snow fox was traversing worm territory safely, whereas the real key was to dismount and drop a thumper, wait a few, pick it up and move again.

And it did literally nothing.

Yeah alright but whats the point of the dismount anyway? This can only be a bug or not? Why should you be dismounted? I noticed something similar with the Sea truck or the PRAWN where I suddenly wasn't inside of the vehicle anymore. It's like: Get attacked by a monster, dismount the player.

Frantically looking for it right now... found the Architect cache but not the module...

Because it was programmed to do exactly that.

Works as intended. I've said during early access that the game seems to be designed to annoy the player. I guess the dev team mistakes that for 'challenge'.

Snowfox is a big joke.

Build thumpers , job done

[RCMidas]

Place down a thumper and go. You'll be fine. As to why you dismount, you don't. You are knocked loose because of the giant hellworm smashing up the terrain beneath you and hurling your ride into the air. The hoverbike wasn't designed to cope with that.

How exactly do you proceed with the thumpers? Build several and lay one every 30 meters and go back every once in a while to change all batteries?

I actually wondered why nobody asked why I have dismounted the snowfox two times, when there was an ice worm nearby. XD

Honestly, this was the first and very first time I encountered an ice worm with the fox.
I simply used the Prawn before, as on hardcore I don't take any chances.

But as this is the endgame now (have seen the ending and the credits), I wanted to try it out.


Sincerely... I got used to the mouse steering in Borderlands 1 with the vehicles you had as there wasn't much to move around with them.
Jumping over some ramps with boost was easy.
But this similar mouse steering implementing into a tiny vehicle that should maneuver between some ice canyons / mazes?

Sorry... But that doesn't simply work. Neither with the jump module nor with the ice worm protection module.
While I haven't tried that one, it simply doesn't change the fact that the snowfox is totally nerfed compared to the Prawn.

It should have at least 4 upgrade slots, that include additional upgrades than the ones available.
The jump module should be a bit more rewardable and stacks with additional modules like with the Prawn.
Maneuverability should be overhauled. Like Borderlands 2 had far better vehicle controls.
While I personally enjoy the original more, I surely acknowledge upgrades.

Vehicles with mouse control can be far better than... Well I made Jenkins out of Leroy in my vid even though I could have gone this way right at the beginning with simply bringing it down to 5 HP.
Ehm... After a few minutes of playing with it, just had 5 HP left. XD



No thanks, Prawn FTW.
