Description
The Jump Booster was designed to improve the jumping capability of battle armor. The Inner Sphere version was pioneered by the Gray Death Legion. It adds an extra 30 meters to bipedal battle armor's jump capability.[1] Both the Clans and Inner Sphere have Jump Booster technology. As it is a booster system, the battle armor must mount Jump Jets.
Jump Boosters are incompatible with Battle Armor Partial Wings.[1] The Clans cannot combine Jump Boosters with their VTOL Equipment.[2]
