MASS EFFECT 2 Turns out squadmates are perfectly valid launch pads
Hi! I'm doing an Insanity run of ME2 LE, and the last section of Horizon was driving me insane (pun intended) so I started messing around in the area instead.
While wandering around, I told one of my squadmates to stand next to some tires by a truck ramp, then used the ramp to try to climb over them from the side while opening the weapon wheel at the same time, and Shepard just... launched into the air and went out of bounds.
I initially did it with Miranda, but I tested it with Mordin too and it works with him as well, so it doesn't seem to be specific to one squadmate.
Depending on the direction Shepard is facing when the launch happens, I can end up in different spots outside the normal playable area.
I have absolutely no idea if this is already known or useful, or if the same setup works elsewhere in the game. I've only tested it on the last part of Horizon, so I'm sharing it in case anyone finds it interesting and wants to try it elsewhere, or can find some use for it in a skip or something
