Jetpack fuel seems related to the weapon

Hi,

The fuel of the jetpack is changing if I switch weapons. For example if I am using 50% of the fuel holding the axe and I switch to the rifle, then 40% of the remaining fuel is instantly lost, but it works also the other way around. If I am flying using the shotgun and I do switch to the axe, then I get a refuel. The longer I am using the jetpack the bigger is the difference.

    It has to do with the weight of the weapon you equip.
    The heavier it is, the more fuel you have to burn ;]

    Yes, but you should not get extra fuel for switching to the axe mid-air (or instantly lose a good 25% when switching axe-shotgun).

    Yes the "feature" should removed.

    I knew this, but I never really thought about using it like that. Great find.

    I tried to reproduce it yesterday, switching between Rifle, Pistol and Axe while flying around, but my fuel did not change. I was alone on a server with compmod, not sure it was enabled at the time.

    True, but TBH what exactly are you going to do up in the air with your axe out :trollface:

    @Kouji_San Only for the testing or to chase some low skulk in pregame (or gardening hydras in the ceilings), otherwise it's the pistol, it cost less fuel per sec.
    @antou Just checked again in a local server (vanilla), try to use more than 50% of the fuel straight and then change weapon (without releasing the jump key). You should notice a change.

    Fair enuf, I was going for the menacing stare with your axe out. That shit is usually enough to even scare of an Onos :tongue:
