[h3]Features[/h3]
New Jumpers have been deployed!
- Cryo Jumper - This Jumper brings a chill to the heart of the hive, turning the tide of battle by slowing and stopping enemies, allowing allies to maneuver and strike with deadly precision.
- Exterminator - Designed for dealing with dense alien infestations, the Exterminator Jumper is a formidable force in bio-control warfare.
- Gold Jumper - This elite variant enjoys enhanced health and maximum equipment capacity, along with the ability to glean extra goo from pickups—a testament to its luxurious efficiency.
- Marksman - Armed with precision-engineered mag slugs, this Jumper can eliminate threats from a distance, with their attack range increasing with every level.
- Plasma - The plasma charger they wield sends devastating bolts of energy that not only damage but also forcefully repel enemies, with increasing knockback strength gained at each level.
- Tank - Equipped with the Brass Blessing, a weapon as robust as the Jumper itself, this variant is significantly slower due to a massive movement speed debuff but benefits from considerable increases in health and defense.
- Techno Jumper - This Jumper variant comes equipped with a Smart Turret utility, an automated defense system that provides both offensive and defensive support.
- And more!
