Time Ripping

"3089 has an all-new superpower: time ripping! Now you can stop time, dodge shots as they float mid-air & much more."

- Phr00t

Time Ripping is an ability brought back and fleshed out in 3089.

3089
By pressing the (?) key on the default control scheme, the player can stop time for all other robots (even allies) and all bullets (including his own) for up to 15 seconds. Time ripping is precious and can only be replenished by picking up the red, green and blue "clock" powerups that respawn throughout the map. It is therefore recommended to stop time ripping by pressing (?) again as soon as it is no longer needed.

Note that most (all?) "X" bosses disable time ripping in a wide area, even if the player is not fighting them.

Note that since your bullets cannot begin to travel until the time rip stops, they can miss! If you want to garuntee a hit, use melee weapons or shoot point blank while time is stopped.

3059
In the game 3059, players can use a somewhat similar ability called "Slow-Mo".

It slows down time for everyone, including the player, but unlike Time Ripping there is no time limit and it needs no recharging.
