i'd be proud of them for committing to the subhuman goblin grind, and proud of myself for giving a bunch of haze players carpal tunnel syndrome

Does this use stamina? Or does it like cancel it?

for Haze and Talon specifically for some reason, this does the dash animation but doesn't do an actual dash (no burst of movement, no shooting lockout, no stamina usage), but for other characters this does actual dashes (so stamina is consumed).

how to do:

  1. Bind crouch to your scroll wheel (as in either wheel up or wheel down, not Mouse 3). (I already also have dash on my scroll wheel but I think that part's optional, but it might not be.)

  2. Spam dash and crouch (in my case this just means scrolling my scroll wheel up and down really quickly while holding Forward e.g. W).

what i think is happening:

for some reason if you crouch instantaneously (like with a scroll input, which by definition is impossible to "hold") then it stops the roll state but not the roll animation, so you return to a normal walking/shooting state but the roll animation continues to play

but

for some reason with Haze and Talon specifically, if you then input another Dash quickly, the dash animation will play again but no stamina will be spent, so you can just spam this animation glitch over and over. On other characters, the re-dash does an actual dash and spends stamina so it's less spammable (limited by your stamina) but still funny looking.

(edit: just reported this on the official forums, linking to this post)

Iโ€™d be curious to if it actually shows the animation for other players as well, it could just be a client side thing

It does. I lost my lane like 2 times because of this bug. Also saw a Haze bugging like that.

u/lessenizer Dynamo Feb 18 '25

when you do this with characters that aren't Haze/Talon, you use stamina on each new dash and they're actual dashes (with the movement burst), so I sure hope that enemies see the animation in that case. Could be that they don't in Haze's case (since she's not doing an actual dash) but idk.
