You'll notice many players sporting a :jetpack: when there is a competent :basilisk: lurking around.

Comparatively in 1.1 crouching made you receive full torso damage to the head regardless of armor which made humans able to survive one goon headchomp. It gave crouch needed usefulness in combat.

Things like that are interesting in that they aren't intended but make the game more fun.

Jetpacking away from a basi I agree with though. It adds a lot to the jetpack and with the better, 1.2 GPP basilisk grab is made a lot harder to use.

Maybe you have seen some crouch abuse I haven't then.
