PSA (How to get unstuck from inside a ROCK)

[G.Freeman 150]

I was playing and got disconnected from a server for having too high a ping, (so my character kept running forward for awhile until it D/C'ed.) *FIX THAT DEVS*

So I log in 50ft ahead of where I D/C'ed and well SH!T, I'm stuck inside of a very large rock, After 20 minutes of trying to jump around, sprinting, and logging in and out near the edge of the rock to try and escape, I had an idea! Better yet, it even worked first try!

So to escape the rock I hit my macro key for W (my auto run) I ran at the rock edge and unplugged my internet cord, Hoping it would make my character run until it D/C'ed. I logged back in and i was out of the rock several feet ahead!  I'm sure holding down 'W' while unplugging your net cord will work just the same as my macro.


I looked online for ways to escape rocks and didn't see any. So I figured I'd share.

Very clever. Vault/sprint worked in arma3 every time, so when i got stuck in a rock a few weeks ago playing dayz i immediately tried it. Ended up being launched into the air and died when i met the ground. Thanks for posting this, now i wont be so scared to go near rocks.

Beware!

 

When the tech support guys 'rescue' you from your stuck position, your character might be moved to a dangerous location, such as the middle of Svetlo, where any passing bandit will see you logging in and be able to blast you to death!
