Balance

Introduction

Balance is a value that determines how upright your character can be at a given time.

History

• Change Log
  • Patch 449 - new recoil systems for more advanced balance dynamics
  • Patch 309 - fix negative balance on arrest

Gameplay

At the bottom left of your screen, a Balance meter is shown which will range from 0, to 100. When the meter is showing 100, your character has reached maximum balance and when the meter shows a balance of 0, your character will be "rag-dolled". Balance can be regained during periods of lesser activity. Balance will never go lower than 5, except during “rag-doll” mode.

• Different weapons do different amounts of Balance damage:
  • The Vector does 40 balance damage per shot.
  • The Shrike and Pistol do 45 balance per shot.
  • The Sniper does 95 balance damage per shot.
  • The Shotgun does 100 balance damage per shot.
  • Pushing someone with the Hands sets their balance to 0.
  • All explosions set the balance of players in their radius to 0.
  • Players that step on the Banana or other slippery surfaces (like railings) will have their balance set to 0.

• Your Balance is dependent on your current stance:
  • Standing:
    • 50 When still
    • 30 When sprinting
  • Crouching:
    • 80 When still
    • 60 When moving
  • Prone:
    • 100 When still
    • 90 When moving
  • Airborne:
    • 5
  • Swimming:
    • 5
  • Ladders:
    • 5
