Explosive jumping: Difference between revisions

The most common method of explosive jumping involves grenades or the [[Rocket Launcher]]. All a player has to do is look down and cause the explosion, jumping as it occurs. In the case of a grenade (''grenade jumping''), the player must simply throw a grenade down in front of them, and jump over it right as it explodes. If using the Rocket Launcher, the player should fire a rocket while they are already in the air and crouch jump (to avoid being killed by the resulting blast).

In ''[[Halo 3]]'', a [[Type-25 Grenade Launcher|Brute Shot]] can also be used; simply fire two shells while in midair.

In ''Halo 3'', [[Type-1 Antipersonnel Grenade|Plasma Grenades]] are easier to use, but [[M9 High-Explosive Dual-Purpose Grenade|Frag Grenades]] allow for a higher jump. The [[Type-2 Antipersonnel Fragmentation Grenade|Spike Grenade]] is not recommended, as its explosion goes upward and it will likely kill the player. In ''[[Halo 2]]'' and ''Halo 3'', an [[Overshield]] can allow for simultaneous use of both grenades and rockets, giving a more explosive result (and a potentially higher jump).

On any level (preferably [[Metropolis]], in ''Halo 2'') go to where a [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] exploding cylindrical crate (better known as a [[Methane tank|Methane Tank]]) would be situated. The trick can be performed with one crate, but multiple crates work better. Stand on top of the exploding cylindrical crate(s) and throw a grenade. If done right, your body should be blown pretty far into the air.

This is a trick in [[Halo]], and is often used for getting into high ledges.

To do this trick, a player would need a [[Rocket Launcher]], a [[Type-1 Antipersonnel Grenade|Plasma Grenade]], a [[M9 High-Explosive Dual-Purpose Grenade|Frag Grenade]], and a [[M12 Force Application Vehicle|Warthog]]. The player would literally jump onto the end of the Warthog's turret (as in not manning the turret) and use the weapons in a specific order: first, the [[Type-1 Antipersonnel Grenade|Plasma Grenade]]; then the [[M9 High-Explosive Dual-Purpose Grenade|Frag Grenade]]; and finally, the [[Rocket Launcher]]. Proper execution of the trick can result in a very high "jump".

Stare directly down at your legs. Make sure you stick yourself with a Plasma Grenade. Immediately afterward, fire the Rocket Launcher at your feet while in the same position you started in. The rocket blast should propel your body, and the following explosion from the Plasma Grenade should boost it even further, possibly even hitting the level's [[Invisible Walls|invisible ceiling]]. This trick should be done on a large open map, like [[Blood Gulch]], for satisfying results.
