And it's apparently fun as heck! Liiittle hard to control though. I keep smashing into hillsides giggling uncontrollably.

I picked it up from https://nmsspot.com/2023/03/21/speed-tip-the-melee-reload-jump-trick/. Apparently you can

  • take a projectile gun (e.g. boltcaster) and fire a shot so it's not full
  • hit melee, hold it down
  • while holding down melee, tap reload really fast
  • instead of reloading you'll do the melee elbow animation over and over, going really fast
  • optionally take off with jetpack, or just keep giggling until you smack into something

Seriously this is like something straight outta Warframe.

I think the fact that you can't really control your direction very well just adds to its hilarity. And makes it less likely to get patched.

They apparently did patch one where you could normal punch boost but then keep meleeing, and just keep gaining speed in midair, and straight-up fly! Never got to try it out, it sounds like it was fun. But to be fair that one was just absolutely busted. This one isn't that much faster than the normal punch boost and it's way harder to control (unlike the flying glitch I assume).

Damn. That was like ten years ago lol

On the side, I'm loving how games can be around for a decade now.
