Fun and not so fun things to do with the train

After some matches, I experieced one or two fun things, that you can do with the train.

Landing on the train:

While landing, you should avoid to come from the opposite direction and land in full speed on it. People die this way.

Stopping the train:

Assuming the train goes out of the zone, you can prevent it by stopping it. The front wagon has a switch.

Speed boost with grapple:

I grappled the back of the train, got a very big speed momentum and went into a slide next to the train. I had so much speed, I overtook the train sliding.

This must have looked funny for the people on the train 😃

[winking pathy overtaking you] "Get Ready! I'm coming for you, friend!"

Jump of for cover and grapple back on:

So much fun doing this.

Still I don't know what happens, when it hits you while standing on the rails. Will you die? Or will you only be damaged? Has anyone experienced it?

Have you experienced other things? Let us know. It kind of feels like you are in a movie.

Can't wait for more situations like this, for expample like when it goes to the direction of the next ring but you are somehow late to catch it, then you place your zipline crossing it's line and catching the train by coming from above.  :eahigh_file:

Also I was curious, if there are switches on the rails to change the route?

  • @JjumpingJjack We need a Brainiac proffesor Myiang Li episode dedicated for the train:

    Will Crypto's drone get pushed or destroyed by the moving train?
    Will it kill or push the legends sitting on the tracks?
    Will it kill Wraith when phasing?
    Will it destroy or trigger Caustic's gas cans?
    Will it cancel or go through Wraith's portals(it would be hilarious to hit someone with a teleported train, haha).
    Will it destroy or just disable Wattson's fence poles, interception pylons or Gibby's shield dome?
    What happens if you connect an electric fence pole on the train with one on the ground, then move the train?
    Can Lifeline's care package land on the moving train?
    What happens if you trigger Bangalore's Rolling Thunder or Smoke, Gibby's Bombardment or Caustic's gas grenade on the moving train?
    Can the train be stopped / destroyed by damage?

    Etc..
  • Tell you what...i'll test all these things for you when i get home. XD

    I also want to see if you can octane jump slower than the train so you land further at the back of it as a flank tactic. 😛

    What I noticed is that you can actually go to the far front, there is this little walkway around the front where you can still stand. Great hiding spot from enemies that made their way on the train!

    Also, when the train arrives at a station, new supply crates are brought up from underground, which can be looted. Be aware, those supply bins go back into the ground when the train leaves!
