Long Arms Mod for Gorilla Tag — Arm Reach Scaling & Private Room Testing

What Is the Long Arms Mod?

In competitive Gorilla Tag, physical arm span is one of the most decisive physiological factors. Players with longer real-world arms can reach farther branches, gain higher surface contact velocity, and wall-run across wider gaps.

The Long Arms Mod was created as an experimental sandbox accessibility tool that simulates extended physical wingspan by applying dynamic vector offsets between your real controller tracking points and your avatar’s in-game hands.

How Arm Scaling Operates Under the Hood

The mod works through the GorillaLocomotion.Player rig:

• Linear Offset Vector: It projects your virtual palm position forward along the tracking ray of your VR controller by a customizable distance (from +0.1m to +0.5m).
• Scaled Jump Physics: Because longer reach increases linear hand lever speed, the plugin recalibrates surface release velocity to maintain natural jump trajectory.
• Visual Bone Rigging: Stretches the monke 3D arm meshes dynamically so your elbows and wrists do not visually detach from your torso.

Critical Warning: Strictly Banned in Public Lobbies

Using Long Arms in public matchmaking is a major bannable offense. Another Axiom’s server-side telemetry actively checks player wingspan against physical hardware reporting:

• The server compares your headset distance to controller tracking bounds.
• If your virtual hand contact point extends beyond plausible human physical reach, the server automatically registers an exploit report.

Safe Usage Rules:

1. Only test Long Arms in private custom lobbies with friends who agree to experimental physics.
2. Ensure Utilla is installed, which automatically deactivates arm offsets if you enter an official vanilla match.
