The Jump Pad is a utility gadget available to the Medium Build that launches players through the air.
Overview
Jump Pads are focused on player utility and can be used to create new opportunities for arena traversal. They can be placed on most surfaces, including walls, floors, and angled slopes like rooftops and stairs. The Jump Pad will persist for a limited time after it is placed, during which both allies and opponents can make use of it. It can also be destroyed by both teammates and opponents.
Uses & Interactions
The Jump Pad creates a plethora of possibilities if the user is able to utilize its strengths. Placing a Jump Pad on a wall can launch a player horizontally, helping them traverse large gaps that were previously uncrossable. Vertical Jump Pads will launch the user high into the air, making high rooftops and raised structures easily accessible. Placing a Jump Pad on a sloped surface will allow the user to travel both high and far, reducing vulnerability in the air while also providing good horizontal travel distance. Notably, sprinting, sliding, or dashing into a Jump Pad will give the user more horizontal distance, while maintaining the same overall height.
Its biggest downside is that poor placement can cause allies to waste time in the air and leave them out of position. The Jump Pads can also be destroyed by enemies with little effort.
A contestant may only have one Jump Pad placed at once.
Placeable gadgets can be placed on a surface using a handheld tablet device. The gadget's placement is shown as a hologram, which the contestant can move freely over the surfaces in front of them.
When ready, the tablet can be activated if the placement is valid (colored blue), causing the gadget to be deployed at that location.
Once the gadget is placed, the contestant can interact with it to pick it back up and refresh its charge.
