The jump pack is an accessory added by Royalty DLC that allows its user to make rapid rocket powered jumps to a tile within range and in line of sight.

Acquisition

As a complicated piece of technology, jump packs can only be made at the Machining table and requires Jump Packs to be researched in order to be constructed. Crafting the armor requires 30 plasteel, 20 chemfuel and 2 components.

Alternatively, this item can be received as a quest reward.

Analysis

The jump pack allows the user to make up to 5 jumps before needing to be refueled, at a cost of 20 chemfuel per charge. The user can jump anywhere within line of sight, so they can jump over Rock chunks but not Walls. Keep in mind it occupies the utility slot, and thus cannot be worn with a shield belt or other utility item. Consider using the Locust armor if you wish to have both jump capability and another utility item. Pawns cannot be hurt mid-jump, even by explosions right under them, but can still get hit during a short warm-up before jumping.

Jump packs can allow melee fighters to quickly engage enemy gunners and force them into close combat, where the latter are generally at a great disadvantage. Jump packs can also be used to dodge explosives like mortar shells or grenades, jump over water, or to quickly escape / get into position, making them a useful utility both for brawlers and shooters.

It is currently unknown if lower quality packs are actually faster than other methods of increase movement rates, such as Archotech legs.

The distance the user can jump is dependent on the quality of the jump pack.

Quality	Awful	Poor	Normal	Good	Excellent	Masterwork	Legendary
Range	17.9	21.5	23.9	25.3	27	28.4	29.9
