pneumatic pistons is a lower cost and feet-exclusive cybernetic implant which improves the user's 
Jump range by 4. Allowing for jumps of up to 6 tiles at a time. Jumps can be performed in any direction including diagonally provided there aren't any same-phase creatures or occluding objects in the way. Pools of liquid and non-occluding objects such as 
low walls do not share this restriction.
Advantages & Disadvantages
This section is opinion-based. Your mileage may vary.
Advantages
- Low cost allows for easy installation without much impact on the user's abitly to install additional implants.
- Excellent repositioning tool.
- Can jump away even while engaged in melee-combat unlike a
pentaceps enhanced
Charge. - Useful for ranged characters in order to quickly put distance between themselves and enemies.
Disadvantages
- Generally made irrelevant by a properly supported
high-fidelity matter recompositer or other movement tools. - Jump's cooldown is fairly long without high willpower, potentially limiting overall use.
- Requires that the user is capable of jumping in order to actually do anything.
Tips
- Can be used along with
penetrating radar and some sort of phasing such as 
shade oil injectors in order to jump long distances through walls and hostile creatures. - Can be used with the
Juke skill to easily escape danger while compeltly surrounded. - Can make navigating the lower-strata of the
Asphalt Mines easier by enabling jumps over large pools of 
lava. - The bonus stacks with other jump-boosting effects such as from the
Wings mutation or 
rocket skates.
