Rocket jump with a controller on pc

controllersteam-fortress-2tf2-soldier

I often see soldiers flying by overhead to get to the control points quicker. Sometimes I have seen Demomen (though this is really no hard task with Demoman) and sometimes even engineers doing this too. (Only impressive if they aren't using a wrangler, though).

Anyway, I have tried to rocket jump with much failures. I play TF2 on PC with a Xbox 360 controller. How can I rocket jump? Is it possible to do so with a controller?

As an aside: How can I craft a Rocket Jumper?

Best Answer

To make a good rocket jump, you'll need to aim down or even slightly behind, and jump just before shooting.
If you shoot diagonally in front of you, you wont accelerate forward. Think about the propelling force that is pushing you backwards.

The hint of an achievement tells you the way to get the highest jump :

Achievement - highest jump
Where Eagles Dare
Get the highest possible rocket jump using jump and crouch.

For the other question, the Rocket Jumper can be crafted with :

  • 3 Mantreads, and 1 Reclaimed Metal
  • Soldier Token + Primary Token + Scrap Metal (1/8 possible results)
  • IRL money at Mann-Co Store, for around half a dollar
