Ambusher Jump Jets

Ambusher Jump Jets is an ability available to the Light Assault. It is unlocked and upgraded using Certification Points.

Upon activation, Ambusher Jump Jets quickly propel the trooper forward based on the direction in which they are moving, instantly consuming all fuel. Unlike other jump jets, Ambushers cannot be used without a full fuel tank, which functions instead like a cooldown meter.

Jump Jets can be activated by pressing the Jump hotkey ( by default) whilst airborne. The Jump Jets will be briefly active whilst the Jump key is held, however releasing the key will cause thrust to cease early. If the Light Assault is stationary or moving exclusively sideways when they activate the ability, they will be propelled fully vertically, though the distance is minimal compared to other Jump Jets.

Due to its unique 'cooldown' mechanic as compared to other Jump Jets, Ambushers interact differently with Flight Suit, which will instead increase the Ambusher Jump Jets' fuel regeneration by 10/15/17.5/20% depending on Flight Suit rank.

History

 * July 25, 2019 Update
 * Ambusher Jump Jets now ticks up energy over time, instead of recharging instantly.
 * Implants and other equipment that effect energy restoration (and consumption) now also impact Ambusher Jump Jets in a similar manner to other abilities.
