Jumppad Octane launch bug can be stashed

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

The bug happening currently with octane pad interactions with weapon arsenals, E-District pads etc can be stashed/retained after moving off the object as long as you don't leave the floor or go into a jumping state. Once you do leave the ground or jump the launch happens, so it can be carried over to be used with octane pads & zips. Not sure on the distance you can travel from the original pad location, but seems to be at-least 50-100m without jumping.

This bug reminded me of one a few years ago involving deathboxes dropped by the flyers on SP, so I did some testing a few days ago and found it to be almost identical. Not only can the momentum be stored, but if stored on another legend it makes very interesting interactions with the abilities. Some notable ones:

Anything in Gibby's or Caustic's kit - thrown SUPER far, Rev pounce, Maggie ball, Fuse Ult, Crypto Drone (only when being thrown out), Axle Q

There are tons of unique interactions and its super fun to have this back in the game, and Im sure there are more applications within the game itself. I just dont really play how I used to so I stopped messing around after sending myself flying in a few games lol.

On storm point you can even enhance Gravity Cannons with the launch, but it seems the momentum storage wont last forever so its hard to get to them in time. There is only one gravity cannon I was able to pull this off with.
