DFA "special" activating in air

  1. Do a normal DFA, either from a jump or using the abduction gun.
  2. Use the abduction gun to get yourself lots of vertical height (I assume you could wallrun up a building to cause the same thing, but I haven't tested).
  3. Try activating DFA, it sets off a nuke instead.
Here's a video demonstration: http://www.twitch.tv/gibbed/c/2846471
 
This prolly happens because you get so high that you DFA against the height limit.
It's somewhat hard to tell, but I don't think he is up high enough to be at the world ceiling. I wonder if steps 2 -> 3 are all that are needed though.
 
This has also happened to me a few times, and only when I use the Abduction gun method (so far). I don't know what causes it, but when I do a DFA at any height, I get the nuke and camera pan, then it pulls back in to my character falling from the detonation point. However, I can do a second DFA after the aerial detonation and it works.

Definitely don't need to be at the ceiling, I'm pretty sure this has to do with timing of recently doing a DFA though, simply getting enough vertical height without recently having done one doesn't cause it.
