Running while punching? How to?..

[MrJoeDirty 34]

So first, to the man who chased me for 15 minutes straight.... playing some terrible dance/club music and punching me repeatedly in the back as I was sprinting away, screw you...

 

Second, this guy was chasing me FULL SPRINT and punching me at the same time. Since he was using his mic to play the music through, I could also here him going to town punching keys on his keyboard... What in the hell button combination was he using to do this? Is it a bug or a cheat? When I was looking back at him, his guy was doing some odd hand motions the entire time... I couldn't pinpoint what the actions were exactly. But he was successfully landing hits with it!

 

Let me know if you guys have any info!

 

EDIT: This is on experimental.

This is a bug. Happened to me twice.

You can do it, but I can't remember what I did.

 

PS. When that bug happens, it auto attacks, so you don't have to press the mouse button to punch.

You are meant to be able to punch while sprinting. You can do it while jogging.

I'm hoping that when the devs look at the melee combat, and with the new ragdoll physics that will help, they look at a way to use the person's weight against them. I've been caught out by trolls who will just run after you trying to punch you and there isn't really a way around it. The ability to trip, push away of have their momentum taken into consideration when punching would resolve this. For example if someone comes running towards me and I punch them, their momentum will basically land them on their arse if I connect well enough. Just now it seems that in this scenario if you did punch them it's got the same level of damage than if you punched them while they were standing still.

The part that sucks dick about the people punch running is the fact that it allows them to run faster than you while not punching like a fucktard.

It's not a bug, you can punch irl while sprinting too. Try it for yourself.
