Smoke Jumper


The Smoke Jumper appears to be a suit of body armor with an attached jetpack. In fact, this suit is simply an exo-skeleton with a few weapon systems and jetpack. What makes this suit unique is it's special defense system. All along the outer shell of the armor are small holes, or pours. When activated, they emit what appears to be smoke or fog. It is used to confuse, surprise, and evade the enemy. Unfortunately, the system that produces the smoke is bulky, and ads size and weight to the armor. The Smoke Jumper is no match in straight combat with flying power armor or other flying vehicles. Where it excels is in using hit and run tactics, hiding in cloud banks, strafing ground targets, and luring other pilots into it's smoke where it's special optics system gives it the advantage. Perhaps it's biggest disadvantage is that it can not go under water, its pours fill up and the suit begins to sink.
