Void Sling

Void Sling
An operator performing Void Sling

Preceded by
Void Dash since Update 31.5 (2022-04-27)

Void Sling (default: Ctrl  + Space  or Space  while in mid-air) is the Operator's default mobility power. When activated, Void Sling hurls the Operator through the void plane (rendering them invisible and invulnerable) striking enemies and inflicting  Knockback in the sling's wake. Void Sling can be aimed using directional input. Holding the input key charges Void Sling and extends its travel range.

Notes

• An uncharged Void Sling travels 15 meters. If the reticle is aimed near a surface within 25 meters, an uncharged Void Sling will travel all the way to it.
  • Charging Void Sling will extend its range up to 30 meters. Aiming at a surface does not extend a charged Void Sling's range.
    • A full charge takes ~0.25 seconds.
    • Void Sling executes automatically upon fully charging.
• Without directional input, Void Sling travels in the operator's facing direction.
• Void Sling costs 25 Operator energy (which regenerates over time), and each enemy struck restores 10 Operator energy.
• Void Sling deals 30  Void damage and inflicts  Knockback.
• Void Sling physically bypasses enemies not affected by its  Knockback.
• Void Sling bypasses certain security devices (e.g., laser grids and energy fields), but will trigger Spy vault alarms.
• Void sling physically bypasses all enemies in simulacrum and sometimes instantly kills even on completely flat ground regardless of AI state.
• Void Sling is required to defeat certain enemies:
  • The War Within quest – Destroy rock obstructions, stun the Golden Maw, and steal the Elder Queen's  Kuva Scepter.
  • Kuva Siphon – Disarm a Kuva Guardian of their  Kesheg and remove their invulnerability.
  • The Sacrifice quest – Stun  Excalibur Umbra.
  • Angels of the Zariman – Remove Ethereal Void Angel's orb protection.

OPERATOR CHANGES

MULTIDIRECTIONAL VOID SLING

We have added multidirectional movement to Void Sling!

Before: Void Sling would only let you sling forward in the direction of the camera.

Now: Void Slings are all about player direction input, no longer dependent on the camera.

How to execute

To BACK SLING, hold the S key and Void Sling - observe the Operator slinging towards the camera instead of away. The back sling will always be backwards, regardless of camera angle. Same goes for slinging sideways, hold either A or D and Void Sling - observe the Operator slinging in the direction the Operator is running.

To STRAFE, when in the air hold directional key and Void Sling to strafe side to side.

If you are using a controller: Tilt the left analog stick down and Void Sling (Tap A and Hold A) - observe the Operator slinging towards the camera instead of away. The back sling will always be backwards, regardless of camera angle. Same goes for slinging sideways, tilt the left analog stick left or right and Void Sling - observe the Operator slinging in the direction they are running.

CAPSULE CHANGES

We made some improvements to the Operator projection positioning tech so that it produces a more accurate result of the final position where the Operator can pass through. This should help alleviate scenarios where the Operator could appear to Void Sling under a door but instead bonked their head. More work will be done to improve in other areas, notably issues with the Operator’s lower half colliding with the environment during Void Sling travel (we’ve got some broken ankles on the court).

Hotfix 31.5.7 (2022-05-06)

• Void Sling Changes:
  • Decreased the time it takes for Void Sling’s end point to reach its max distance.
  • Increased the overall velocity of slinging to the end point.

Hotfix 31.5.5 (2022-05-03)

• Fixed lingering mentions of ‘Void Dash’ to the new ‘Void Sling’.

Update 31.5 (2022-04-27)

Void Dash to Void Sling

The Operator sends a Void Sling of themselves and then Void Slings to it. It is the Operator’s ‘Double Jump’. *After its debut on Devstream #160 and following further playtesting, the team has since increased the overall speed of the Operator’s Void Sling thanks to feedback.

• Tap or hold jump while in the air to send out your Sling. A tap will travel a minimum distance before the Void Sling.
• Void Sling can also be activated using the old Void Dash input, by holding jump while in crouched Void Mode.
• Holding jump sends out the Void Sling further, up to the Sling's maximum distance, which upon being reached, will automatically Void Sling the player to that space.
• Letting go of jump before hitting the maximum distance is reached will initiate a Void Sling.
• The Void Sling is sent out in the direction the camera is facing once fully charged, or upon release.
