afaik its still posible for the pod to land in the heartstone chamber - simply run ~150m towards spawn and have one other dwarf press the button on the mule. idk if this works in solo but in multi its viable enough w/ rj250 engineer or scout

Sadly, after the most recent patch this no longer works.

now that trick I use is gonna be so much more fun if the pod lands next to me every time :)

@Zim interestingly, the drop pod does not deal damage when it lands on top of you. I use that to get into the pod faster if I can get to it's location before it lands as I jump right before it lands to instantly appear inside the pod.

I think this is the only thing that doesn't deal collision damage upon landing, which makes sense as it would be a fucking pain to fail a mission because your way out landed on top of your head and killed you (along with the fact that teammates cannot reach you below the drop pod considering its size)

On solo I've learned to not call when there is a supply pod hole intersecting a tunnel above me, molly thinks it's a shortcut. Ruined some otherwise good runs

I actually just stood on the mule and let it take me to the drop ship {solo haz 4} as long as you run ahead of him and jump on him he will take you the whole way to it, but its the run out of ammo/hp just outside its door {cause it doesn't open till mule goes around the back so you hop off at front and have to wait like a min or 2} that's a lil harder

@TeamCafeine i'm with you on that ngl

You're most welcome.

thanks!

actually i'm sure I've seen several people do this
