pneumatic pistons is a lower cost 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 enhancedCharge.

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 completely surrounded.
• Often makes navigating the lower-strata of the Asphalt Mines easier due to enabling jumps over large pools of lava.
• The bonus stacks with other jump-boosting effects such as from the Wings mutation or rocket skates.
