Jump Tower
Jump Towers are large, high-altitude red balloons tethered to the ground by ziplines. Players who ride this zipline to the top will begin skydiving, allowing them to redeploy to distant areas quickly.
Function
- Jump Towers can be found in several places on Kings Canyon, World's Edge, Olympus, and E-District.
- Storm Point and Broken Moon have only one each, at ZEUS Station and Eternal Gardens, respectively.
- The zipline leading to the balloon functions the same as any other zipline, except that reaching the top ejects players into skydiving controls.
Variants
Evac Tower
The Evac Tower is a survival item which creates a temporary Jump Tower anywhere. These towers last a limited amount of time and are destructible.
Geyser
Geysers are geothermal vents found on World's Edge which launch players straight up and ejects them into skydiving controls at the apex of the launch. They are found in two locations: one at the center of The Geyser, and one in the low ground south of Lava Siphon.
Skydive Launcher
Skydive Launchers are launch pads which function identically to Geysers, launching players straight up and into skydiving controls. They are found beside each team's home spawn point in Control maps. They also used to be available in Storm Point's IMC Armories, but have since been disabled.
Valkyrie's Skyward Dive
Valkyrie's ultimate, Skyward Dive, can be used to launch herself and attached squadmates high into the air and into skydiving controls. The height reached by this ability is comparable to a Jump Tower.
