So I just got done having some fun testing a few numbers on a private server. And I found a few interesting results that don't work the way I thought, that you might be interested in.

1--Catalyst Packs don't increase damage!

If you read the Cat Pack description on the NS manual, it says Cat Packs offer +25% move speed, fire speed, and damage. We should all know by know not to trust the NS manual, which has more numbers wrong than right. Still, I always believed that Cat Packs increased your damage output. It turns out they do nothing of the sort. That doesn't mean they are COMPLETELY useless, as the extra run speed can help you stay alive, or chase down that fleeing Onos, but they don't do a lot for your firepower. The increased fire speed is limited by your reloading speed, which isn't affected at all. Still, I can see why most clans consider them not worth the effort. Perhaps if they actually offered the stated damage increase, they would be used more often?

2--Leap And Charge only damage a target as long as you are "pushing" on it. Touching it isn't enough.

Testing with drawview damage on, I noticed that Leap and Charge can actually dish out some pretty decent damage....but they only do so as long as you continue to push against your target. You can do this with the movement keys, but that makes it very difficult to actually remain in contact with your target, without slipping by it. The best method I found is to get on TOP of your target, so that gravity will do your work for you. Now Gravity is constantly pushing you against your target, and you get the maximum damage output. (Strafing also works, so if you can manage to aim at a target with your sides, feel free.)

If you ever wondered why you cant kill buildings with Charge, heres why! Simply stand on top of that building while you charge, and watch that hp bar tick down!
