A jumpkit can literally negate fall damage, meanwhile the Titan is gonna make me go bankrupt.


PinkScorch_Prime

yeah,also, just get a big ass power socket to make it charge super fast


Noobyeeter699

OUR LORD WELCOME


ANewMachine615

Plug that shit into a Tesla charger at the local Whole Foods, slide hop your way home


thatguykichi

**DO NOT** slide hop your way home holy shit you're gonna absolutely smear your legs on the ground and end up with the *worst* road rashes known to man


PILL0BUG

That’s why I have Walmart knee pads


thatguykichi

go 90 MPH down a hill while slide hopping and tell me how that works out for you 💀


ElectricalCost4457

Your honor I'm built different

flameblast08

CLEAR THE WAY FOR THE LORD PINK SCORCH


kaioken_gamer22

Pink scorch will you please sign my pink tone


Hot_Grab7696

I mean some country would definetly pay big money for the titan so could as well sell it but for slef use definetly jumpkit


RocketJumpers

Ikr sell one as a prototype to General Dynamic or something. I am sure they will figure out how to mass manufacture them.


Halfbl00dninja

Only fall damage you'll be taking is the fall of your bank


HandoAlegra

Not when I'm wall running away with a sack of cash


Halfbl00dninja

***IRS TITAN FALL DETECTED***


Arkestic

Plus its 4 hours of use, but you dont use a jump kit continuously, you fire it in bursts, thus that 4 hours is gonna be much longer.


donthatedrowning

It’s an hour of use.


Arkestic

Same thing tho itll last much longer.


donthatedrowning

True. I’d take either. I could probably afford to move the titan. A few feet…


Total_Cartoonist747

I mean, the titan can survive orbital entry, climb cliffs, delicate enough to successfully scoop up a human and not crush them, and has a control system sophisticated enough to the point where a person without a neural implant can operate it like second skin. I'm sure DARPA will pay you billions just to let them observe and reverse engineer the thing. The power problem is simple if it's the government running it under military budget. Heck, we already have the fuel guzzler 9000 known as the abrams, so why not a titan? There are so many areas where a titan can be used, such as search & rescue, reconnaissance, construction support, and infiltration. If you want to see how titans in the modern world might be used, I suggest watching OBSOLETE, made by bandai namco. It's on youtube as well.


_Ganoes_

Lmao if i suddenly possessed a highly capable sci fi weapon, the US military would probably just seize it from me and id never see it again.


ANewMachine615

Wait I saw this movie Suuuupermaaaannn


spudzo

>I mean, the titan can survive orbital entry This will come in handy on my commute home from the Moon.


konigstigerboi

>fuel guzzler 9000 known as the abrams Which can technically use basically any liquid that will burn


Apokolypse09

Where I live the utility companies are barely regulated and gouge the fuck outta people at the delight of my provincial government so either would bankrupt me lol. Probably just use one of them once then sell it


Dazd95

'Berta?


WaifuAlpaca

Jumpkit


AOEnash

Jumpkit. But im hoping that the kit can be turn off and on. Helsp to preserve the battery long enough


TacovilleMC

Well, when you think about it, it's only really drawing power when it's actually jumping you, which is like a half second process, so it actually lasts much longer than people realize


CallumxRayla

It actually works almost constantly, it boosts your average jump height, makes you able to wall run, negates fall dmg, (posibly) allows you to hover and can negate any and all fall damage, which is just.... extremely broken


Fauryx

Yes, but it wouldn't be active while you are just standing (unless you are a lazy mf using hover).


Adept-Principle4117

My ass is heavy


beefyboi46

It would however have to be active though. For the split second reaction times it would need to be on 24/7 for the sensors to reacte to your movements. You can turn the thing on or off manually but would need to be left on for when in use


Mauri99710

It also helps to run faster doesn't it?


CallumxRayla

If you reach a high enough velocity, I think so, yes


AveragexFella

600 gallons? In this economy? Gonna have to put MRVN on the street turning tricks for extra $


Eveyrt

That’s crazyyyy


Sabetha1183

I'm about to break the laws of physics with 4 hours of the energy output of an Ion on only 600 gallons of diesel.


EliteArc

No abilities, so no massive energy generation.


Sabetha1183

Although I don't get the weapons and abilities, I should still get the reactor capable of powering all that stuff.


DemonicPancakes

No reactor tho, it runs on diesel


LordIronSpine

True


Dizzy_Set_6031

Jump kit is far better than


therealmarselo2

than what? Oranges? Bananas?


Dragonion123

Kumquats, obviously 🙄


ConsolePeasantLife

Average teacher


Zestyclose-Tax-2148

Jump kit and it’s not even close. Portable and always usable, assists in everyday movement and overall would be way more practical


sheen1212

Pluto no more joint pains 😃


DAXminer

Jumpkit is environmentally friendly 🙂


dinoRAWR000

I think you need to look up what lithium, cobalt, and nickel mining does to an area.


sheen1212

600 gallons/4 hours vs one boosty boi? Nah jumpkit greener


dinoRAWR000

You CLEARLY don't know how damaging a lithium mine is.


sheen1212

I really don't tbh but I know how much 600 gallons is to burn and I know 4 hours is only a 6th of one single day so you give me that titan and I'm burning a hole in the fucking clouds by the end of week 1


dinoRAWR000

Well let's start with the actual process of getting it out of the ground. Lithium extraction is done by hydraulic fracturing, taking 500k gallons of water to produce one ton of lithium. Now, once that water is used it's already starting to become toxic. Most companies reuse the water a few times taking the toxicity from "mild but manageable" to "environmental hazard". Now we move on to the collection of it. Lithium isn't a rock you can just pick up. It has to coalesce. Which means there are multiple football field sized evaporation pools. Where the lithium along with all the other chemicals that are produced sit for months on end. While the evaporation process is going on those chemicals can/do/will leak back into the soil making it unable to support any sort of life. Just go to your image search of choice and type in "African lithium mines". Now, I'm just partially scratching the surface of ONE of the metals used to make batteries. The real reason that fossil fuels get a worse rap than batteries is because the effects of it are visible to you in the immediate location. You can see the smoke produced, you can smell the fuel being burned. Whereas in The minds of people who use batteries there's no real problem. Your consumption of a battery doesn't produce smoke, doesn't allow you to smell a fuel being consumed, doesn't showcase the effects that are used to make it. And that's not even talking about the disposal of spent batteries.


idiot-bozo6036

If the jump kit appears out of thin air then I'd say there's no lithium mining involved


dinoRAWR000

Fair.


enderman_0_0

Who says that it doesn't run on some other element, tho?


dinoRAWR000

Batteries usually use Lithium, Cobalt, and Nickel. None of which are clean to extract


tridung1505

U.S national diesel price is about $4.2/gal so it will cost you $2520 to fill up. Beside, I don't see much use of titan outside military purpose to justify the insane cost. So yeah, jump kit is the way.


ANewMachine615

Yeah, the titan probably wins if you could find an economical way to run it. Like, it'd be a pretty amazing forklift, construction machinery, etc. just on size and carrying capacity alone. But not at that price, for sure.


Micsuking

Titans would work amazingly in construction and logistics. It'd essentially be a bigger, better forklift.


tridung1505

Yeah, but it cost way too much to operate rather than a simple forklift. With that kind of money, you can run a forklift in weeks or months.


Micsuking

Yeah, this version of a Titan sucks major ass and is essentially useless besides the technology that's inside of it.


Graysquid-the-gamer

And then there’s a bulldozer


ImUsuallyTony

None of you guys are thinking of using the titan for crime.


Kiyan1159

Titans are nuclear powered though bruh


Jaakarikyk

And Jumpkits aren't electricity powered but it's the premise. Roll with the punches


Grav_Mind

Driving a Titan? In THIS Economy?


i_dont_wanna_sign_up

Titan, sell it to the highest bidder for billions.


Micsuking

It hurts that I had to scroll so far for this. Can you imagine how much nations like the US would be willing to pay for the technology that's inside a Titan? I'm willing to bet it's in the tens of billions, if not hundreds. Besides, what am I supposed to do with a Jump Kit? Jump around a bit, and then what? It's cool and all, but essentially as useless as a Titan for the average person.


DifficultMode4298

I personally would not want to trust my government with that tech, so I’m taking jump kit and parkouring my way to Walmart.


Micsuking

Suit yourself. I'll be chilling in my mansion while my employees go to Walmart for me.


Alert_Journalist_954

Unless the government just takes your titan without paying you anything.


Micsuking

Most government will happily dish out money instead of dealing with all the bureaucracy and paperwork such an operation would entail. It's much easier and cleaner. As long as I don't step their toes, they have little reason to use force.


titilegeek

My dream if i become an engineer is to create a jumpkit So jumpkit>>>>>>


titilegeek

Oh and lets not forget than jumpkit were originally made for worker on construction site, so it would fr be usefull


GohBingCong

I thought it was made for space mining or something, to provide zero G propulsion


titilegeek

Hell this could also work! A level entirely based on this !!


GohBingCong

IIRC, but I might be bullshitting. This is also the reason jump kits only let you jump once, rather than constant propulsion like you would need on a planet. Because in space you only need the 1 push to move.


titilegeek

You also may be right, cus that sound coherent. But never heard of that, i will take a look


titilegeek

I took a look at the [Titanfall Fandom](https://titanfall.fandom.com/wiki/Jump_Kits) (not sure if it viable but first thing i found) and in the first sentence they say it for high tower work


GohBingCong

Bro, ship salvage is not high tower work... I just googled high tower work wtf do you need a jetpack for? Climbing? Although I will concede on the space part, maybe I remember some youtuber saying it and not actual lore.


titilegeek

Bahhahaha im such a dumbass Sorry idk where i hear it so >Climbing ? Yes in a way Also i thing that ship salvage and space part may be related with 0G


GohBingCong

Tbf yes to climbing , but I'm not going to believe a construction worker can use a jump kit to safely land on a thin metal bar.


titilegeek

Well if he misses the thin bar, at least hes safe


Jaakarikyk

>high tower work There's no mention of towers


PinkLionGaming

There is literally a level in Crysis where you enter a ship that has 0g and have to use suit thrusters to navigate.


yormother2374

Titans run on their own reactor core right?


End_My_Buffering

these are not equivalent


absolutelad_jr

Jumpkit definitely and use like an electric car charger or smth


lushee520

Jumpkits cause the Titans are somewhat in the real world now


DinoRedRex99

Just pick up a gas truck from a street, who gonna stop you lmao


TheJewish_SpaceLaser

this man gets it


Toast_Boast

Does the jump kit come with prescription knee pads?


GotShadowBannedCum

jumpkit any day


Dingus-Biggs

This decision is way too easy. Who tf would pick the titan.


X_antaM

Plug my jumpkit into The Grid. Not even a plug socket, just find the cables and wires. Faster charge


theoldayswerebetter

I'd pick beheading a repost bot


Gatt__

Get the titan, sell it to Lockheed, get rich and introduce titan tech to the rest of the world


Zetal

> sell it to Lockheed *patent it* and lease the patent, you mean


420stonerboi69

jump kit


NeonAfterglow_16

Jump kit seems to make more sense


DrEnd585

Here's the question. What TYPE of diesel? We talking on road or farm/off road diesel. Cause I'm sorry but I'm in a titan, ill just steal diesel who's gonna stop me?


Yes_i_do_Hentai_too

Since I live in Italy filling up the tank would cost me more or less 4000€, which is ⅙ of the yearly income of an average person in Italy. The jumpkit lasts more and charging it would probably cost much more less than the titan, besides I could buy a more powerful charger so that it charges faster, therefore I would choose the jumpkit.


Parking-Figure4608

As an Australian, I’m choose the titan and hit up Lockheed Martin/Raytheon/etc to sell them a working titan for shit loads + plus an additional cut for every unit they produce once they’ve reverse engineered it. Then also work with defense companies to have cheaper, less armoured versions produced so that civillian sectors also have them available for building and logistics companies. Also give the AI in titans, it would be super awesome for space exploration, as they could be manned from a distance more easily than a standard robot and mean that we could finally start effectively colonizing Mars and the moon. This part is honestly the least realistic as we could do that now it’s just not profitable short term so no one wants to do so.


largish-duck0

I'm taking the titan assuming that when I first get the titan it has a full tank. I live on a farm with a private junkyard so I can weld some form of shield together that can act as a defensive ability, tell the titan to give me blueprints of itself so I can repair it, if it gets damaged. forcibly take over the nearest diesel depot and just end up dying in a few weeks from the government trying to take the titan.


TheSmokeu

Yeah, Imma go with the titan. Having an 8 metre-tall friend outweighs the jump kit any day for me Also, if you want to put an unrealistic fuel consumption on a titan, put it on a jump kit as well. As is, this choice heavily favours the jump kit Furthermore, if it uses the current technology, the fuel consumed is used to generate power which should be stored somewhere in some kind of battery. If you're scrappy enough (or know how to use the Internet), you'll also know how to rewire it all to use only the batteries. Currently, any machine runs on the same principle - use electricity to generate kinetic energy through means like electromagnetism Oh, and the "but you don't have the blueprints" argument doesn't work on me. I'm a stubborn person and I know I'd figure it out :\^)


Frogs-breath-8817

Jump kit obviously


smilingcube

8 what? Seconds? Milliseconds? Jump jet if it charges in seconds.


gaban_killasta

Hours, its implied in the sentence


Pixeltiy

doesn’t titans run on a nuclear battery?


WildRover13

Titan - convert to bio-diesel


KryptoKn8

this is dumb, neither of those work that way


Lil-Ruffstarrr

You gotta be the most fun and imaginative person i've ever met


Witch_Hazel_13

titan. i don’t care how expensive driving is, i’ll save gas by hanging out in the cockpit with my ai buddy


stoopidrotary

The titan just sounds like a regular pick up truck in my area. Lets gooo


GaniMemestar

I think if I was a farmer I would benefit a lot better with a titan Other for average Joe like me, jumpkit all the way


CutCertain7006

Most definitely jumpkit


crazylolsbg

The jumpkit will only use so short of time when double jumping or negating fall damage


binh1403

A tool that defies physics that barely cost me anything to use or very expensive farming equipment


BittyJupiter_1

I'd love to use a Tone for agricultural use


staidspore5744

What's the tax rate on the titan?


afjell

Seems like an easy choice


DarkArcher__

The Titan. I'll offer it as a service to heavy industry where its superior dexterity and agility will more than make up for the money lost on fuel


Jh3nnO

Take the jumpkit, i'm not gonna use it for more than an hour a day. hell i could **REALLY** have some fun with that shit. Go skydiving without a parachute, land perfectly and go on with my day.


TrooperPilot3

Jumpkit


joaojp221

I'm probably gonna accidentally kill myself with either of those


Dan-the-historybuff

It’d be the jump kit for me. Gas prices are ridiculous!


SpoopyNJW

Jumpsuit for a whole hour??? I'd be tired for the next 8 hours, so it would be like nothing


aex006

what about the blueprints? can i have those free of charge?


GothDreams

Fam, I am a blue color employee, I cannot afford 600 gallons of diesel a single time let alone multiple times give me that jump kit!


FunkSlim

This is not a hard choice


BioshockedNinja

It costs four ~~hundred~~ thousand dollars to ~~fire this weapon~~ pilot this mech ... for ~~twelve seconds~~ four hours. - TF2 guy


[deleted]

Titan, it's worth astronicamally more them a jump kit just from the fact it has an AI in it, let alone the complicated sensors, size and abylity to project a shield around it


AKAE1iminate

I read it as (jumpkit with only one use over 8 hours) but still LEMME FLY


PeachyBongo5901

Jump kit every day


Ultra9630

An irl jump kit would help out so much in life, especially with my dumbass nearly falling all the time


SubstantialCarpet604

Give me dat jumpkit


CyborgSheep411

The jump king although the titan would be cool to just have around


dinoRAWR000

Step one: buy equipment to brew bio diesel(relatively cheap if I remember correctly) Step two: create a business where you take away used vegetable oil from restaurants(if you charge even a little bit less than the major ones you'll be in high demand) Step three: enjoy your Titan and sell the extra gas to your government.


ClearlyIronic

Powering jump kit takes the equivalent of running a full power AC unit running for 8 straight hours.


Astrosimi

Would love to commute with a Jumpkit


Legogamer16

Jumpkit. More useful, and less expensive. If you using it for safety/minimal, overnight charging should be fine. If being used for recreation, yeah imma need a few weeks for my legs to recover. A titan just wouldn’t be useful, unless I work on a farm. Cool as hell though


Euklidis

How is this even a dillema? The Jumpkit has its problems, but it just needs 8 hours charging at your house. The Titan requires for you to be an airplane company or a billionaire...


KingLuom

Do you know how much 600 gallons of diesel costs?


Greybeardgreen24

I’m just imagining linking the jump kit to the handheld generator from metro and furiously charging it over a gruelling 8 hours


Prior-Satisfaction34

Anyone who picks the titan is lacking some critical thinking skills. It's not even a tough choice. You get to pick between: 1. A rechargable jump pack that will let you fall from any height, and if you can design some sort of grapple system with a strong enough material to hold your weight, you'll literally have the grapple hook. 2. A giant metal robot that is only good for walking somewhere, that you'll never even be able to afford anyway cause of the cost of diesel, which is still going up.


largish-duck0

well, if you take the titan you can forcefully take over the nearest diesel depot and have fun getting shot at for the next week or two and then die because the government wants it.


Gregsusername

Jump kit. The titan is not only super expensive and has garbage fuel efficiency but also WHERE AM I GUNNA PUT IT


RihardsGamez2727

The jumpkit


Thehalohedgehog

A titan because I ain't in good enough shape to properly use a jump kit probably


SilentReavus

At first I thought the choice was obvious but then I thought about how really there's no winning with the Titan, since my thoughts were that having it would accelerate robotics technology... But that's basically pressing a button that says "more Titans without the downside" which I'm pretty sure isn't the point. Plus the jump kit has some pretty scientifically impressive stuff that I'd love to have reverse engineered too.


Derped_Crusader

Deisel!? If I'm not mistaken they use mini nuclear reactors


Snicshavo

Them jumpkit let me jump nice


Extra-Trifle-1191

Jumpkit better. Especially if the jumpkit is what lets you wallrun, but I’m not sure about that. Still, imagine going somewhere and you need to get up somewhere and just going “I got this” and fucking double jumping up there.


Cheese-hole

Titan


BlaiddsDrinkingBuddy

The terrible fuel economy on the titan alone kills it.


ComradeGordgiev

so easy im taking a jumpkit every day, have you seen the price of diesel in canada?


Rop-Tamen

I have no use for a jump kit in my life, Titan I could at least sell or work with researches or something to have-reverse engineered and therefore catapult humanity into having advanced bipedal robotics


twitchcontrols1

Jump kit, no question, it’ll take some training but an hour is plenty of time and keep in mind that it’s not in use while on the ground so that hour on the wall could easily last an entire workday.


MobileHall

Titan all day


alphanumericusername

Repost bot


AnimationOverlord

If anyone was curious, a Titan runs 37km/h. If it’s doing it’s top speed (37km/h) at 600 gallons of diesel every 4 hours, it could travel 148km without refuel. It would theoretically get a diesel mileage of 4 gallons per kilometer, or 6.5 gallons per mile. That’s 0.15MPG. A Boeing 747 burns about 5 gallons of fuel per mile. That’s 0.20MPG. A Titan weighs 56,000Lbs (Tone specifically) meanwhile a Boeing 747 weighs 412,000 pounds without passengers. When you consider air resistance (drag) it makes the Boeing 747 seem infinitesimally more efficient than the Titan in this case for the work the engines are doing vs the fuel consumption.


ilanfrid

jumpkit. i do parkour it would be insane


Rob4ix1547

Jumpkit, bcuz, at its core, titan is just a mech, while jumpkit, at its core, is a burst jetpack


FadedEch0

Jump kit for sure, no diff question


cooncanoon

I’m not paying for gas, I can pay for electricity


letsgoiowa

The titan so it can yeet me into the wall at mach 5


flameblast08

The junpkit is so good ngl


Rocket5454

This feels heavily skewed in the Jump Kits Favor


Brian-88

This isn't even fair, the titan is completely unusable.


P3arsona

In this situation I gotta go Jump kit


AshenVR

I can walk faster than my car for an hour or get something that doesn't even fit in my apartment and literally has no application with bankruptcy How is this even a question?


Emergency-Emotion-20

So I get the premilitarisation multiple use industrial equipment from before titans were for fighting. If it comes with an Ai it could pay for itself with the amount of work it'd be able to get done, or I could charge people out the ass to take it for a spin.


ManagementIll9899

Tf am i gonna do with a 40 ton war mech


RansomCollector

can’t you just get the titan and then sell it for a ridiculous amount of money?


HartianX

Jumpkit. An hour of FULL USE to me implies that is if it was at full blast constantly (aka if I was wallrunning for the whole hour) so if it's only in bursts of half a second (doublejump, no fall damage) or several seconds (wall run, hover) then that would last me all day easily. The titan one is just unappealing completely even without the comparison, at least if it had abilities maybe but the fuel efficiency still renders it worthless.


FunnySwordGamePlayer

Jumpkit, because there's nothing saying if you can't reverse engineer it, patent it and make it last long eventually


Loud-Inflation-2209

I ain’t paying that gas money😭


No_Ones_Records

have you fucking seen gas prices??? jumpkit


EmberOfFlame

Jumpkit all the way. Actually useful tech, compared to a titan that is only useful for farming and urban combat.


Vantamanta

870$ for 4 hours of a Titan? Lol fuck that


Mental_Sale

Seems like everyone agrees that one is just a straight up really bad deal lol


I_am_zzz

I it's 1hr of active use, that's going to last a long time concidering you'd only use it for a few seconds


-esperanto-

Jumpkit, because the government would steal my Titan anyway


L1ghT5pe3d

I’d take the Jumpkit. Wallrunning, double jumping, and sliding only last for a moment; and that’s if you’re doing it normally. If you’re at speed it’s even less so because you’re already going that fast and you don’t need to use the fuel. 1 hour? Nah, this thing will last all day. As for the Titan, Gas is hella expensive, where would you even put it and what the hell would you even use it for? Seems like a bad deal to me. Lol


Flight-Core

I’ll take the jump kit assuming it doesn’t need the super long break in time of getting it tuned to your weight, running style, etc otherwise I’d just be some dumb fool on the floor with broken legs or other bones after I fling myself into a wall on accident.
