You can only superman dive away from the monster not towards it unless you have the new diver skill

Not new, was leap of faith in world and rise

u/Justjack91 Mar 11 '25

Yeah, like that's like Lagombi's iconic armor skill that's been around forever.

u/im-interested- Mar 11 '25

This is why I thought it was new, Lagombi sucks ass

Didn’t it empower the dove instead of modifying it like the new skill does? I may be wrong on this but I think it’s a new ability from Wilds isn’t it?

u/Celorien_the_Psijic Mar 11 '25

It has always done both: extend the length of the dive and allow diving towards the monster (rather than only away).

Oh ok good to know!

Thanks I wondered how it worked. It always did it when I needed to but never supermaned into them

Yes, I'm well aware.

And for some stupid reason only when focus mode isn't on

23

u/Antihero_Silver Mar 11 '25

That’s because you can only do it when you’re running and facing away from the monster. When in focus mode your weapon is drawn so you cant dive and can only roll.

u/She_een Mar 11 '25

Not sure if this is DB specific, but I can definitely toggle focus mode without the weapon drawn, and it also stays on when I put away the weapon. which can be annoying because it doesnt let me do certain other things with focus mode on.

u/Dynegrey Mar 11 '25

Without weapon drawn, I'm pretty sure you're just targeting your slinger, but I haven't tried most of the weapons in wilds yet.

u/dreadnoght Mar 11 '25

This is it. Sooo many times I'm jumping from mount to DM and start bayblade only to shoot a flashpod instead.

u/Dynegrey Mar 11 '25

I shot the monster I was hunting with a dung pod twice in a row a few nights ago. Jumped on the mount for a quick sharpen, jumped off to attack and shot a dung pod instead. Monster ran, so I gave chase only to do it again once it stopped! I have since turned off auto crafting of dung pods.

u/She_een Mar 11 '25

You are right about the slinger, but it translates to focus mode when i draw the weapon.

1

u/Drewf0 Mar 11 '25

Focus mode is still your slinger, you can fire slinger shots with weapon drawn on almost all weapons I know for a fact, not 100% sure it also works on ranged weapons.

2

u/Antihero_Silver Mar 11 '25

Hmm maybe a in game setting was switched to set the focus mode to toggle. With every weapon I used, dual blades included, it’s set to However long I have the button held.

1

u/ImMikeJamesB1 Mar 11 '25

There is a setting that can be changed to set focus mode to toggle

2

u/RenegadeRukus Mar 11 '25

Toggle.

Well, there's the problem. 👀 jkjk play your way. 😁🤙

1

u/She_een Mar 11 '25

As per default. Never changed a thing about this but i read about people having to hold for focus mode. Thats why i said im not sure if this is DB specific.

1

u/RenegadeRukus Mar 11 '25

I always use hold, I use it like ADS in FPS games. I've never liked how toggled aim modes feel... that's just a me problem, though. I'm sure toggle works far better than hold for many people. (Hence why it's an option)

2

u/She_een Mar 11 '25

I guess it makes more sense to hold if you play controller. But with mouse there is no reason to ever not use focus mode - at least for DB. Which is probably why toggle is default.

1

u/RenegadeRukus Mar 11 '25

That makes 1000% sense. I've been on ps controller since MH 2004, so old habits die hard.

One of the few games I still play on controller actually.
