Harvesting animals to avoid fall damage

[BugReportEnthusiast]

Hello again.

The Long Dark scientific division(tm) has made some new groundbreaking discoveries. Firstly, you don't take damage when harvesting animals.
This led people to wonder when you could use harvesting to potentially tank tons of damage.
Then someone decided to test out harvesting while falling, to prevent fall damage that would otherwise kill, and this was the result

 

Yeah.

That's just ... wow.

If only we could do it going up😄. 

Seriously though, that's a bit of a cheat I can see being used....  Not by me though. ,I'm not risking my run..

Would this also work for the kill walls in the Ravine?

I don't know if you can use this to go inside  of the invisible kill boxes that are in ravine, but you CAN use it to skip the rope just fine

This is simply the result of our character sheet choices on creation. Trading the ability to step over a 2cm high snow drift for shock absorbing wheels. It's working as intended.

Yeah.

Even after all these years since the game release and despite all the loop hole fixing HL has done, I'm blown away at the kind of things people still find in the game.

1. Just goes to show how complex game designing is. This is something the designers probably never thought of testing.

2. How enterprising people are at finding every loophole / exploit in the game.

Remarkable.
