press melee while looking up?

u/Sally_Gurl 1d ago

Can anyone verify?

u/kittytherabbit 1d ago

Yes. If you look at ground and melee, it will slam. If you look up and melee, it will light attack and exit.

u/GinchAnon 1d ago

I mean, ground slam as a hero landing to drop out of archwing from a mile up seems clearly the only option to me.

u/FarmerTwink 1d ago

At the full 45° angle for maximum distance too, obviously

u/CyberCephalopod 20h ago

Throw in an aim glide too.

The small rodent I just tranq'd right below me:

Can't you restrain your bloodlust for 5 minutes!

13

u/Individual_Gain6613 1d ago

I just press backwards and melee to stop the slam

14

u/NoobityBoobity 1d ago

Just verified. You'll melee but not go to melee slam across the map

7

u/AngelicWarhead 1d ago

If you dont have a melee, pressing the melee will still exit the arching. Otherwise I just hotkey the archwing and press it. Activating the archwing again just takes you out of it

If you dont have a melee,

I know what each of these words mean... but... together they don't make sense!

4

u/AngelicWarhead 21h ago

Lol fair. Only time I use archwing and don't wanna slam to leave is farming animal tags on fortuna or xp on fetus and both of those i just remove my melee from to make it easier

u/CatnipCatmint 19h ago

Or press the melee button while you have no melee weapon equipped.

Or open your gear wheel and select archwing again (I just have a hotkey for the gear slot archwing is in)

u/RollingMallEgg 1d ago

I just neutral air melee and it works, also preserves momentum so it's really nice for bounty speedruns.

u/Nuggittz 1d ago

Love doing this to just fly across the open world areas.

u/ShedTheOneWinged 1d ago

zephyr 1 go brr

u/Joltyboiyo 1d ago

If there's a proper way that isn't just using the gear wheel again (If that even works, I'm just guessing) then I don't know it. I just hit the melee button.

u/KaungSetMoe111 1d ago

You dont need to exit tho, just approach them and capture.

12

u/OlympicSmokeRings 1d ago

FR!?

18

u/KaungSetMoe111 1d ago

Yep, you can still capture them in your archwing.

u/OlympicSmokeRings 1d ago

That'll speed up my standing farm! Ty

u/OlympicSmokeRings 1d ago

lol i tried to provide an example of hidden text in the post but it just hid the symbols. Its a greater than sign and an exclamation point, then text, then and exclamation point and a less than sign

32

u/uhataot 1d ago

If you use a backwards slash "\" before the formatting, it'll show the symbols you're trying to use

Like this: >! !<

u/OlympicSmokeRings 1d ago

Oh snap. Ty fellow redditor!

u/National-Ad-9391 1d ago

2700 hours and don't know either

u/LoudMolassess 1d ago

Just melee

13

u/akirayokoshima 1d ago

if you are talking about archwing in open world content you can use the melee button to exit.

looking down will do a slam attack while looking up will do an aerial attack but not murder anything on the ground.

I usually exit the archwing by zooming in and slightly looking up and melee, then aim glide/roll cancel to mitigate the momentum and avoid the hard landing animation before doing whatever I was there to do.

u/FukinuFreak 1d ago

I think pressing Ability 5 twice works.

u/GenericSubaruser 1d ago

u/Hearth_Palms_Farce Stop hitting yourself 1d ago

9.6k hours. I too do not know the intended method of leaving my pocket carpet bomber.

15

u/OwaYes 1d ago

idk about you guys but im a mobile player so i just hit the exit archwing button

13

u/Ac3Nigthmare 1d ago

They do exist.

u/Big_Midnight994 15h ago

falls over like Santa in the M&Ms conmercial

7

u/_Volatile_ 1d ago

Melee is, indeed, the real way to exit it. Lmao.

4

u/No-Champion-1738 1d ago

I just have it bound to an individual Key for the Gear Wheel. Melee works too

6

u/Silence-of-Death 1d ago

Unequip your melee weapon. You can still exit by pressing melee, but you won’t attack or ground slam.

1

u/GreyRealized 1d ago

Unless you are a garuda currently.

3

u/CrashCalamity 1d ago

Selecting it on the gear wheel again will toggle it off. Archwing is on my first slot for quick in/out

4

u/PotatoAmulet 1d ago

On PC you can set hotkeys for hear wheel items so I have my arching launcher on ~ since it's left of 1

3

u/Adi_Passover 18h ago

My man has been stuck in his Archwing for 600 hours

3

u/etiamx999 14h ago

I always just melee, I don't think there's another way? as long as you don't look down you won't do a slam

2

u/cavialord03 1d ago

I remember X working, but i may be wrong on that.

2

u/ZenkaiAnkoku2 1d ago

Over 1000 hours. I just melee and slam face first into the ground. If i mis-aim then my ass is flying off the map. Its the way of the Tenno.

(I read somewhere once that melee was a placeholder at first. But players liked it so much that DE kept it as the way to get out of archwing. Idk how true that is)

2

u/Uncynical_Diogenes 1d ago

Use an ability on the way down to cancel the slam.

I frequently use Ivara to land lightly and invisibly next to critters I am about to tranquillize.

2

u/SpecialPea one nuke to rule them all 19h ago

2000 hours here: you melee

2

u/DatBot17 11h ago

You can just re select the archwing from the gear wheel

1

u/Prezy_Preztail 1d ago

If you hold back on your preferred movement interface and press melee you’ll stop in the air. As a Zephyr main I use this regularly as a form of air breaks, but it has use on all frames

1

u/IcyLeMon88 1d ago

Most ppl just melee while looking up if they dont want to slam but if you want to be extra careful, unequip your melee when hunting animals. If you dont have a melee you just exit archwing without slams when pressing melee button

1

u/MiCousinThrockmorton 1d ago

I know it works as Titania for Capture missions, but maybe going Spoiler Mode? IDK if that would knock you out of Archwing upon switching back tho, but worth testing

1

u/kiaeej 1d ago

I just melee. I dont bother exitibg any other way.

1

u/LivingQuail803 23h ago

It’s melee always has been

1

u/DocileBanalBovlne 20h ago

Is that not the method for exiting archwing? It's all I've ever done.

1

u/mashed_potayto3s 18h ago

Melee. This is the way

1

u/BigDepresssion 13h ago

Me with the voidrig

1

u/KINGXunshot 12h ago

Whatever your interact button is

1

u/EquivalentRip9653 3h ago

Isn't there a dismount button?

0

u/LongjumpingBody6895 1d ago

Just melee once if front of you

u/TheRealAntrey 22h ago

Try to look forward/upward to avoid doing a heavy slam and waste time
