Rocket Jump	comment	A technique most commonly encountered in First-Person Shooter games, rocket jumping involves explosives (often rockets, obviously, but grenades or other explosives and items can be used in the same way) used to propel the player to normally unreachable places. Depending on the game, this might either be the only way to jump, or it has to be combined with timed jumps for full effect. Rarely is this practice implemented as a necessary skill in the game itself. When developers began realizing the potential of this trick, they thought to hide Easter Eggs and secrets with it. On the other hand, rocket jumping has also been used, with incredible effect, to completely humiliate structural efforts used by developers to streamline your gaming experience. Alternatively, a Rocket Jump can just function as a sudden burst of mobility, in order to swiftly engage or escape an enemy or evade an attack, or can be used to just propel oneself into the sky with less emphasis on a particular destination and more emphasis on invoking Death from Above while airborne. In most cases, this technique will hurt the player, so he has to consider the sacrifice of health (including possible fall damage) versus the benefit of the jump. With that in mind, rocket jumping is either considered as an exploit of a game engine processing physics and explicit numerical damage, or considered as an acceptable break from reality in video games that just emphasizes how tough your One-Man Army really is. The game has to take into account, among possible other considerations: movement across the 'z'-axis (3D) or Y-axis (2D), splash damage that produces a kickback effect on both the player character and enemies, that rockets do not kill in one hit as a specific function of being hit with a rocket, and that explosive damage is dealt rather liberally. At the very least, the game attempts and fails at properly applying or understanding impulse and momentum. Similar to Explosion Propulsion. To avoid overlap, gameplay examples should go here, but if it only appears in cinematics the examples should go on to Explosion Propulsion. Compare with Jumping on a Grenade. An Ascended Glitch.

If you time it just right, you can reach various ledges you weren't meant to walk on. Most of the time falling out of bounds though as the ground isn't completely solid up there.

Rocket Jump / int_1a1a594f	comment	In Battlefield Vietnam, grenades sent players flying to when hit by one. One day it was discovered that friendly players were affected by this as well when friendly fire was off. The best results happened when a friendly player laid down on a grenade, which sent another player flying upwards. Combined with the ability to instantly deploy a parachute to avoid fall damage this tactic was used to fly over walls and on top of buildings. This was later patched by taking away all force to grenades, meaning that corpses and players stayed put when killed. In later Battlefield games this was fixed by making grenades damage all players. This is known as C4 Jumping in Battlefield 2. With Friendly Fire off, players can dump all 5 C4 packs on the ground, stand a little in front, and blast away! The tallest buildings can be reached in a single bound. This can also be done with manned friendly vehicles, and with enough C4 players and proper timing, such a loaded vehicle can literally fly across the entire map, which could take ten minutes to cross on foot, in seconds. In Battlefield 1942, someone once used a similar method to jump over a large windmill in a Jeep. In addition, artillery shells sent corpses flying - or, occasionally, living soldiers. They usually died on landing, but it was possible to parachute to safety if the player is fast enough. This tradition is proudly carried on in Battlefield 3, as seen here.

Rocket Jump / int_1d367084	comment	Team Fortress Classic had it, too. Rocket-jumping was possible with the Soldier's rockets, the Demoman's pipebombs, or with any kind of grenade, although grenades dealt significantly more damage. Since you could only deal armor damage against team mates in non-friendly fire games, you could also assist your teammates by rocket jumping them, and it was a particularly favored tactic in games like Hunted, where it would let the President bypass several nasty sniping points. Particularly effective grenade jumps could be performed with the concussion grenade (basically a grenade with little actual damage but huge knockback) used by Scouts and Medics, as it had much greater knockback/lift and it dealt a completely minimal amount of damage, making the Medic one of the preferred flag-capturing units. Notably difficult maps, such as 2fort, made flashbang jumps the only way to fly. At least one map (epicenter) was completely broken due to the aforementioned practice of "concussion jumping". The point of said map was to carry a flag to a point in your enemy's base, and the map reset once this was done, after which the flags were locked up for a minute. On most servers with sufficiently skilled players, the match quickly devolved into races between the team's opposing scouts/medics, as two well-placed concussion jumps would take you from just outside the building where your flag was to the capture point. Everything and everyone else was irrelevant. It's breakage like this that led to grenades being removed altogether from Team Fortress 2.

Rocket Jump / int_223c2a48	comment	The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild: There are multiple ways to pull this off. The sanest version combines bombs with the Statis Rune, which stops an object's movement for a time but it gains momentum when it is hit. Bomb blasts also count, so Link can use bombs to give the Statised object momentum, climb onto the object, then fly away on the object as the Statis ends. The second requires that you just use a bomb rune to blow yourself up while above it, launching yourself away at the cost of a lot of health. The third requires that you fire a bomb arrow at your feet then quickly doing a shield surf to gain a bit more distance. The least sane of the lot, the "Wind Bomb"note Also known as Bomb Impact Launch and "Boomy Zoomy", consists in using one bomb in midair to propel another midair bomb into you while in Bullet Time.

Succeeding earns you an achievement - Gordon Propelled Rocket. Grenade jumping also makes it possible to entirely bypass the bridge level in the chapter Freeman Pontifex, like so.

Rocket Jump / int_4ce969a9	comment	Since this was the only way to jump in the earlier Marathon (aside from ramping off stairs,) it was required for many later levels. Marathon also allowed normal gunfire recoil to amplify existing jumps, known as gun-climbing. This is what many players thought "frog blast the vent core" meant. The flamethrower can do this on low gravity maps, since its kick is stronger than the reduced gravity. Simply point it down, hold the trigger, and presto! Improvised Jet Pack. Some physics model Game Mods would enhance this by giving the flamethrower negative recoil and increasing it several fold to give it more of a jetpack-like quality.

Rocket Jump / int_5425ce75	comment	The "Rhino boost" in the Grand Theft Auto games (from III onwards) is a variation on this. When driving the Rhino tank, you can turn the turret around so that it is pointed behind you. The recoil created by firing the cannon provides you with a speed boost, which easily turns one of the slowest vehicles in the game into one of the fastest. Combine that with the fact that any vehicle that the Rhino so much as bumps into explodes, as well as the vehicle's astounding durability, and the Rhino practically becomes a Game-Breaker. San Andreas nerfed this ability, though it came back in the later Stories games.

The gimmick kind of falls short, given how generous the game's movement system is normally; it's usually faster and easier to just use parkour instead of a grenade jump. However, the gimmick does end up giving it an edge over its Corpus cousin, the Penta: a well-modded weapon deals enough damage to down a Tenno in a heartbeat, so the Tonkor's self-damage was reduced to almost nothing, allowing the user to survive a grenade jump and making the weapon infinitely safer to wield than its counterparts.

Rocket Jump / int_755997ac	comment	Doom was one of the first FPSs to feature this, albeit as a horizontal push rather than vertical jump. This was particularly notable as Doom didn't have any actual jump button. Episode 3 in the original Doom has an exit to a secret level that is supposed to be accessed with this method. An invulnerability powerup is provided to assist the player in doing so. However, it is also possible to strafe-run into the secret, though much more difficult. Taken to its logical conclusion with the practice of "trickjumping", in which rocket damage is turned off for the purpose of setting up complicated and difficult jumps. Multiple examples can be found in this video, by the ambitiously-titled Infinite Trajectory team. Doom source ports, such as ZDoom and Zandronum (which is a multiplayer adaptation of ZDoom), have added jumping and freelook, among other things. There are many mods specific for it to help train players.

Rocket Jump / int_755b343f	comment	Halo: It's possible to do this with grenades, but due to their power, this is usually done for fun, not for gameplay purposes. The ability to create chain reactions with grenades on the ground was especially entertaining when combined with the invincibility of vehicles in Halo: Combat Evolved. Halo 2: Games from 2 onward have a collection of hidden skulls that affect the games' mechanics. For example you can find a skull that allowed Master Chief to turn invisible for a short duration instead of having a wimpy flashlight. Another skull makes all headshots pop people like plasma grenades. In Halo 2 itself, one essential skull that allows you to even get the rest of these skulls is the one appropriately called Sputnik. This skull makes all knockback caused by explosions and melee attacks about 5 times as powerful. This also allows players to get the bigger-than-big BFG of the game to play around with. This of course is only available on the game's hardest difficulty. The effects don't save when the game is turned off, meaning that players who want to be blown high have to find Sputnik again each time they turn on their Xbox. Several of the multiplayer levels allowed you to grenade jump up to an area that you normally couldn't get to. If you brought a fully loaded sniper rifle (and were playing against people who didn't know you could get up there or how to get you down), you could get quite a few kills before killing yourself or jumping down in order to reload. "Relic" is a map situated on an island with a makeshift base in the centre consisting of an extremely tall Forerunner relic. Human prop-up-covers are placed on the map strategically. By pushing one (through melees) to the base of the relic, standing on the folded-down handle on the defenders' side of the cover (located on the ground to give the shield stability), and firing a handheld rocket launcher rocket directly into the shield, the explosive force that tilts the shield forward - and therefore the handle up to lift you off the ground - is enough to launch you high enough to get on top of the relic. Even more amusing is because of how high you really are, the horizon doesn't exist anymore - there is the end of the ocean polygons and the end of the skybox texture, separated by a thick black line. However, because of the massive blast damage the game gives you for rocket explosion proximity, one has to start the match so that player shield (health) capacity is increased three-fold (Overshield). In the campaign, one grenade jump will allow the player to skip the entire first half of "Outskirts" as well as reach nearly all of the otherwise unreachable areas. Halo 3 sometimes requires it to collect hidden bonus items. It should also be noted that this should only be done with frag grenades in these games. Plasma grenades, spike grenades, and rockets will kill you instantly if you try to pull this.

This is a not-so-subtle hint to get hit by enemy attacks and use your own Splash Damage to fling yourself into otherwise inaccessible areas. To reach one secret area you must blow yourself up nine times (The very first thing you get upon reaching that area is a dialog from Iji: "THAT HURT!!"). In a less extreme application, you can use the recoil of the Nuke weapon to hurl yourself across gaps with too little headroom to jump over.

Conversed by Pharah, who has a rocket launcher but also has a jetpack, rendering this trope unnecessary for her. One of her voice lines is "Rocket Jump? That sounds dangerous."note It is still entirely possible to rocket jump, albeit to very low heights, as Pharah, and can occasionally be seen when one is in trouble with their jetpack on cooldown. Usually it doesn't work and just results in death. A Bastion with its Tank Mode ultimate ready can use its cannon shells to bound over walls and other obstacles, resulting in airborne robot tanks bombarding surprised enemies from above. Zarya can use her weapon's alt-fire (which lobs an explosive charge instead of a continuous laser beam) to boost herself up slightly. It doesn't give her nearly the amount of lift that, say, Junkrat's mine does, but it does open up a couple new pathways for sneaky flanking attacks. Soldier: 76 can use his helix rockets. Combining this with his sprint ability lets him get to places he previously couldn't, moreso than Zarya.

Rocket Jump / int_e31f2cd8	comment	Tribes allowed players to shoot the Spinfusor (explosive blue frisbee launcher) at their feet for insane speed boosts and massive jumps; firing a spinfusor while jumping in the Classic mod for Tribes 2 allows you to jump well over a hundred meters into the air. In Ascend, pathfinder class has impact nitrons which can effectively used for extra boost due to their relatively low damage.

Rocket Jump / int_ecee4546	comment	Used in an episode of The Librarians 2014, where a strange mix of quantum computing and magic has overlaid Real Life with a video game. Thus, video game tropes override the laws of physics. When the team needs to get across a chasm, Ezekiel suggests tossing grenades under the jumpers to propel them to the other side. When Baird (an ex-soldier) hears this, she screams "Grenades don't work that way!" Ezekiel counters that they do in video games. And yes, it works just fine. They don't even suffer any damage.

Rocket Jump / int_eed89257	comment	It is possible to rocket jump with rockets in ULTRAKILL although this usually provides only modest vertical but more significant horizontal boost, albeit with no cost of health. More powerful explosive boosts are achieved by using explosive cores, malicious railcannon, overpumping a shotgun and most notably, shooting a core with a malicious railcannon.

Rocket Jump / int_f04b4111	comment	Metroid has Samus' Bomb Jump, which is used in her Morph Ball form (thankfully, she's never hurt by her own bombs). In the first game, as well the original GameCube releases of Metroid Prime and Metroid Prime 2: Echoes, it was the only way to jump in that form. Other games give Samus the ability to jump normally in that form either naturally or via the "Spring Ball" power-up, but the bomb jump is still useful; because the bombs can be laid in midair and they don't obey gravity, you can jump into a bomb to get extra height. Proper timing and bomb placement can even allow you to chain these explosions together into a triple bomb jump (Bomb-Trick) in the Prime series, and unlimited bomb jumps (Infinite Bomb Jump) in the 2D games. The only game in the series where this technique is impossible is Metroid Fusion, due to bombs taking longer to detonate in that entry. Metroid Prime: Hunters includes a bona fide Rocket Jump in addition to her standard bomb jumps: if Samus fires a missile (or certain other weapons) at the ground, she takes damage and gets knocked into the air a bit. Once again, this is useful for Sequence Breaking and speed running. It doesn't work in any other Metroid Prime game, though (then again, most of the good tricks in those games don't work in Hunters either). Metroid Dread introduces the Cross Bomb, which works just like the traditional Bomb Jump but sideways.

Rocket Jump / int_f8f51b13	comment	Unreal Tournament: While it is possible to do a literal rocket-jump, the method recommended by the game's tutorial is to use the Impact Hammer — a melee-only weapon that is a powerful pneumatic piston which inexplicably could cause splash damage (including a slight push) to the wielder if "fired" at a nearby surface (like, say, the ground). Unreal Tournament 2004 continued this with its replacement Shield Gun, even going so far as to let you cushion some of the damage from landing after a "shield jump" with its eponymous Secondary Fire.

Rocket Jump / int_fe85bfc8	comment	Super Smash Bros. is probably the only fighting game series that has rocket jumping to a significant extent. Samus has this with the down-special Bomb in Melee and Project M, in reference to her home series. So do Link, Young Link, and Toon Link (though the applications of the latter work differently). Ivysaur's down-aerial was upgraded to be this as a recovery move in Project M. In the fourth game, Palutena can use this as a custom special move. Snake can use either his Grenades or C4s (neutral and down specials respectively) as a rocket jump to propel himself back to the stage. One must be careful when doing this, however, as unlike the above mentioned Samus and Link(s), Snake can actually end up killing himself due to the high power of his explosives in particular. In Ultimate, Banjo and Kazooie can rocket jump using their down special, Rear Egg.
