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. The research requires a techprint. Crafting the armor requires a Crafting skill of at least 4 as well as Plasteel 30 plasteel, Chemfuel 100 chemfuel and Component 3 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 Chemfuel 20 chemfuel per charge. To refuel it, select its user and right-click a pile of chemfuel.

The user can jump anywhere within line of sight, so they can jump over rock chunks and fences, but not walls. 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. Tehy 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 can also be equipped on workers that frequent the edges of the map, as a manhunter pack or raid may catch them off guard.

However, 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. The downside of locust armor is its atrocious sharp armor, standing at only 87% on a normal quality armor, beaten by the flak vest by a handy amount.

It is currently unknown if lower quality packs are actually faster than other methods of increase movement rates, such as archotech legs. Nevertheless, the invulnerability granted while flying will often make any loss of time irrelevant.

Quality Table

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