SA1-1B Shock absorber boot...worth it?

[Slim1951]

I am thinking of getting this. If you have it are you glad you got it? Is it worth it? Do you notice much difference in stamina?

[Wizrdwarts]

The 2 regular sprint unlocks are enough, imo.
Only get it if you have nothing better to get.

Yes they are.

[gamefoo]

Absolutely.

The fall damage in this game is ridiculous, you fall about 8 feet you die. This allows you to keep some HP.

How far can you fall with this upgrade and not get damage? Just a guess. How much extra sprint recovery do you get, just a guess?

I can't seem to notice much of a speed difference or recovery difference, but I think it minimizes fall damage?

Even then I don't seem to notice because my parachute works about %50 of the time. Dozens and dozens of times I've spammed the parachute button, nothing happens and I fall to my death.

I have the boots, and the effect is not noticeable. I still take damage coming down to the vents from the Titan roof, which is ridiculous.

It gives a slight increase to recovery and takes some of the damage out of a fall. You won't notice a difference but any advantage and all that - plus if you have an unlock available you may as wel use it. Better than radar grenades anyhow

If they'd had a swoosh on the side that would have been cool.

Yes but who would cheaply produce a mass amount of these new shock absorbing shoes for the war effort?

You Guessed it!, the Pan Asian Coalition. Cheap chinese shoes! and the PAC would be so desperate for money they'd sell 'em to the EU.

Who says the two sides can't have a secret economic agreement? You betcha that Bognatyr and Krylov were made with a dash of EU technology but cheaply made.

And the Baur/Voss and all of the unlocks originated from wealthy EU Arms manufacturers who wanted to simply sell weapons in an endless war - they don't want a victory.

[Quemical]

Definatly worth it, it was the first field upgrade i use to get before i got NS. You can definatly feel the difference

[KHAN]

Couldn't live without it :)

Now I have this boot on my feet, I once fell from incredible height and survived, with less than 5 health.

Then died in less than 1/1000th of a second from a quick on the finger VOSSer?

[Non-Gypsy]

The boots arent all that bad...they are much more noticable if you use light armor. there is probably a post buried in the NS section that says they add 4 secs run time, but i cant be axed to find it :)
