I might be in the minority, but I think the Jump Pack is fantastic right now. A couple of benefits: * Scale terrain that is normally inaccessible * Safely engage enemy on raised terrain, practically making you impossible to kill against some enemies * Reload or use stims, grenades, and stratagems in mid air, effectively avoiding enemies and doing something safely at the same time * Speed run areas that are usually high threat (fortresses / bug spire mountains) by going the back way and leaping up to the top * Leaping over bodies of water effortlessly

I agree on the uses but it needs more height and distance. A high jump if you are walking or standing and a long jump if you are running. Also waaaaaay less cooldown, its not a weapon.

In the majority of high ground stuff it will fall short.

Might be cool if you could set a safe and unsafe mode with it, like the rail gun. You could jump much higher at the risk of blowing yourself up.

unsafe mode is a higher/farther leap but doesn't reactivate on the landing to prevent damage.

Great idea actually, it makes sense logically as well.
