I'm editing the original topic so everyone can see.  It has been known for a few months now that you can run with the package (pizza) by using a "clever use of game mechanics."  Bioware has confirmed this is legal, though they also confirmed it a while back as well.  I will outline how this can be done so that people know.

Normally, you hold the spacebar to sprint (if on PC). However, if you rapidly tap the space bar with a good rhythm, you will also sprint. That is the key. By pressing the spacebar rapidly and with a good rhythm, you will sprint and drop/pick-up the package as you sprint. 

It takes some practice and it is hard to do off host unless you have really good ping to the host. I recommend you try it on a bronze game first with you as the host. Use a character that can't roll or dodge, like a Krogan. Get a running start to the package and then just repeatedly press spacebar to keep sprinting. Once you get good at it, you can do it with characters that have rolls and dodge; you can also do it without the running start by momentarily pressing spacebar to start running then then repeatedly pressing spacebar again to keep running. 

I do it all the time now and it really helps with these objectives. Just be sure you pick a route that isn't guarded by enemies, even if it is a little longer.  The last thing you want is to get killed in the middle of a group of enemies.

Spread the word.

Hey folks,

I got your PM.

It's true that, unless we decide to change how certain mechanics work, sprinting with the delivery objective will not get you banned.  We have used the phrase "clever use of game mechanics" and will stand by that.

Have fun Posted Image

it is a cheat IMO it wasn't intended to be exploited in such a way and can only be done on PC. Personally it doesn't bother me at all though

Yeah it's a wonky one.
technically you're just dropping it and picking it up again (can't do it myself...too old to learn)

I've seen it, have not done it. I'm not BioWare so my opinion carries no weight, but I'll still express it.

I agree this is probably an unintentional thing, but in other ways similar to the reload cancel (which was intentional). So no, not cheating.

I think there are plenty of aspects of the game that, once it went live, the developers were surprised to see how things worked. Some in good ways, some in bad. The really bad ones hopefully get fixed in patches.

If I outfit a player with adrenaline or use a Fury, Shadow or Geth with speed enhancements, the pizza carry goes much faster. A head butting Krogan makes it go faster. A Demolisher with his "stuff" turned on is sooooo slooooow. All are part of the game.

As you say, maybe BioWare will weigh in. At this point, even if they come down on this being an exploit, I don't see how it can be a banning offense without them getting the word out first.

Add me on Origin dude, I rarely play anything thats not a melee krogan on platinum.

Why?  BECAUSE IM CRAZY AND SCOTTISH. And that's a combination to win.

It can also be done on consoles, you don't have to remap your keys to do that.

Sorry, I was going to make some smartass comment like, "No but running with scissors is awesome!"

I digress.

I would like to know how you can do this.  PM me please. Moving fast due to gear, equipment, racial bonus would not be considered cheating.  If you can find a way to sprint, I don't see you being penalized for it.

As a side note, I suppose I should let you know that Thomas Abram's contract expired at the end of last month.  I do not know if / when he will be back.  Sorry about that.

Cheers

No more Abram Smash!  :crying::crying:

On topic, I don't know the specifics, but what they are talking about is a methodology for sprinting while carrying the pizza, not just innate movement speed bonuses or using melee on some characters.

Run, run, run, using the pick-up distance difference to compensate for your movement. Very much like/identical to 'Flag Juggling' in Halo.
