Couple questions:

 

What's the latest you can spawn in to the game? It seems there's no limit: I recently spawned in to a GiP and just had time to recognise the scenery as Goddess before the controler called out "That's it, team secure!" Am I correct?

 

What's the latest you can gel and still make extraction? Today I was downed (curse you, Geth Bombers!) in the EZ with about 4 seconds to go, hit the gel arrow and stood up with 1 second left on the countdown, but we only got partial extraction and I was listed on the scoreboard as not extracting (everyone else made it).

 

Thank you in advance for your help, awful puns, ad hominem attacks, and kitten gifs. But it would be nice to get an answer before the mods close the thread.

And we're done here.

I think you can even gel just at 0:01, so long as you heavy melee right after...

Are trolling on this one?  I don't want to be the only ****** doing this after late downing you know.

He's not. You don't extract if you are in the 'getting up' animation. Dodging and heavy melee animations overwrite the getting up animation and thus, help you extract. This has always worked for me except on a very few occasions, for which I blame lag. Always worked on-host though.

I've been counted as not extracting while I was jumping over cover inside the Reactor LZ.

[Schanez]

I used gel with 2 seconds left and was not extracted. I didn't have any latency issues, so that's not lag.

 

As for the last moment ot join a game, I nearly soloed a bronze match learning the shadow. Got a partner at the end of wave 10.

[Olivia Wilde]

I've spawned with 20 seconds to go 'til extraction

 

just enough time to realize it was the "other LZ" on Dagger, run and collect 7200 credits

[Olivia Wilde]

Heavy meleeing or combat rolling seems to cause you register as up

Learned something today!

 

 

I can now go to bed.

You need to actually touch the circle. If you get lifted (by Banshee etc.) within the circle or are nova flying above, it won't count you. Haven't tried jumping over cover.

Happened a couple of days ago.  Jumped over the boxes in the LZ on Rio and 'missed' extraction

Never succeeded on 0:01 gels. The minimum i had was 0.02 and immediate dodge spamming on host.

Normally once you hit wave 7, it becomes unlikely anyone will drop in but sometimes for unknown reasons (probably you failed to match the criteria for all games in progress for match making), you can spawn in at wave 11. 

 

Also for the gelling, the actual time is lag based so even if i can do it at 0:02 on host, off host, that time has to be adjusted by the amount of lag. If you are dropping packets rather than lagging, it becomes a crapshoot

[crashsuit]

I've dropped in after extraction a couple times. Luckily, I'm not bothered about losing consumables.

The info about dodge/melee to gel and extract in time is good stuff! That'll be useful, I've definitely been there before.

[Sentient Toaster]

On a related note, anybody how many seconds does it take to throw a cluster grenade?

 

Curious how many seconds I need to plan ahead if, say, I've got three thermal packs worth of cluster grenades to lob for no reason at all.

My very rough guess would be a second per grenade, or maybe slightly less.

I've had someone join right before extraction, just in time for us to get a Partial Extraction.

I assume we only got a partial because the game registers them as in the game, even though they are still loading in, the same as how enemies draw aggro from a player who is still in the loading screen and yet cannot die until they are actually "in" the game.

One should never leave in the shuttle with any ammunition remaining, or you may have left some points behind. And that last-minute lucky grenade kill is delightful.

 

And to all posters in this thread, thank you, I believe that you have answered my questions and more. Melee FTW.

I tried this Rio non-extraction too. Now it makes sense! I also learned something today, and wished I could go back to bed.

[ajscott819]

_{Yeah, learned the Rio over cover no-extract the hard way. Thought I would be all Duke boys cool and slide over at the last second. Instead I just got laughed at for missing the extraction.}

 

_{Whoah tiny font size. weird.}

1)No limit. I've spawned in on extraction. I've also spawned in and got a scorecard at the end of the match without even seeing the map.

2)Entirely dependent on whether you're host and if not your connection to the host. If you gel in time you should be able to execute an action like fire, light melee, etc. Off host at least 3 secs is pretty decent below that is iffy in my experience as to whether you get extraction. Also grab animations can result in you not getting extraction as well if the timing is right even if you're not taken down, doesn't have to be an instakill enemy a husk can do this. 

[Pee Jae]

My favorite is spawning in at "The session has ended. Returning to the lobby."

[codsquallic]

There's no limit on spawning in. I've spawned in at the zero count of an extraction failure, with not even enough time to quit the game or anything.

I heard the "team secure" announcement in the loading screen, and I never actually spawned into the game, I went right to the scoreboard.  I kept this around as a memento.
 

[Cazma Dott]

I remember two distinct cases when I spawned right into the extraction procedure: one was in a Gold game, when I hadn't even started playing Gold yet, about fifteen or so seconds before extraction. I just ducked down and stayed and to my surprised even got about 50,000 creds for it, lol.

 

The second one was on Dagger and I spawned at the wrong EZ with seven or so seconds to go. Partial extraction, nothing earned except the ire of my team mates. Yay!

 

There's also the one time when I was just extracting from what turned out to be a solo effort and another player joined with twenty seconds to go, and immediately took off in hunt for enemies. Partial extraction and he was quite confused afterwards. :/

 

Had no idea about the gel + HM trick, thanks BSN!
