Hey everyone,
 
Did you know that two of the three green gas clouds above Uptown are actually solid and can be walked on? No? Well, now you know.
 
Yeah, I'm talking about these:
 

 
Another fun fact: once you step outside Uptown's outer boundary, there's no cap for flying upwards, meaning that you can ascend indefinitely — or at least until you run out of fuel.
 
Now, if you add two and two, you'll figure that there might be a way to reach the clouds, considering it's quite easy to get out of the map's bounds. This is exactly what I found a while ago. However, no mech class has enough fuel to fly so high. With Dr_Freeze001's help and support, I came up with a fun idea: if 4 fuel converter-equipped Technicians (2 Sentium + 2 Prosk) shoot and heal each other in a specific way, they can replenish lots of fuel — enough to do the job.
 
With help of our buddies from KDR, we managed to get there!!!
 
 
Meet the team

Idea: DerMax
Video recording and editing + support: Dr_Freeze001
The Tech squad: DerMax, rozermahbub, Erzunterweltler, SethUK
 
 
Enjoy!
 

 
 
P.S. There is a way to get there on your own in the Exploration Mode, and I've even managed to pull it off several times, but it's easily the hardest mapclimbing stunt I've ever done.

The epic music.

 

It's epic.

 

 

But does it really fit in with four technicians floating around tickling each other?

There's gas clouds?

 

Huh, either I didn't notice or it's an effect I missed out on because I run Hawken on the lowest settings.

I don't think this is specific to Uptown. That seems to happen on any map whenever you hover over a void.

Checked multiple times, never could reproduce this on any other map. Could you please confirm?

I never thought I'd be so pumped watching a video of 4 techs jumping. 10/10 would watch a series of this.

The same effect also happens on Bazaar, Bunker, and Wreckage, although to a much lesser extent.

I see the height capped in all the three cuts :/

Like I said, "to a much lesser extent". As in, hovering still goes up beyond the normal height cap, but in uptown, the extended height cap is just far higher. It's not something that's necessarily exclusive to Uptown, just that it's the most extreme in Uptown.

 

Also something interesting (and I think this stems from the same effect), when hovering over a void under a map, no matter how far you drop, you can always hover back up to the level you started at, provided you have the fuel of course.
