reinforced tendons or fortified ankles

[Drath]

what one seems to be better overall?

I think it depends on what you want. I did some quick testing using blue level implants for both and it look like fortified ankles allowed me to jump significantly higher than reinforced tendons.

However reinforced tendons have more uses as the double jump allows you fall from a great height and cushion the fall with a well timed double jump. It also allows you to change the direction of the momentum mid-jump.

Both are quite useful. I hope that later mods combine the functionality of both mods.

hmmm good to know i think i will go with tendons for my first run but yes i hope a mod will combine the two at some point thanks for the break down :)

I've used both a bit.
I like the high jump one much more to reach new areas. The double jump seems like it would be better in theory, but in practice I haven't found it very useful. It doesn't seem responsive enough to always avoid fall damage.

If you walk off an edge you can still use your Fortified Ankles for a boost.

Scratch that.

I only used double jump up until now because it was much more easier to get into fortified areas without effort. Tbh I don't know what hidden areas people are talking about because if it's not quest related, it's not really worth it in my opinion ^^*

Does the epic version of fortified ankles (the version that lets you hover) still allow you to charge your jump first? I can't get it to charge any more for me and I can't get as high as I used to.

Charged jump, and double tapping Forwards for a dash, is one of the funniest and best things in this game.

There's also something called Lynx Paws which I've seen at the Kabuki ripperdoc's place.

The epic version can't be charged, but allows you to hover, which is extremely useful. You don't jump as high, but you can jump much further horizontally (even more than with the double jump of reinforced tendons). It also gives you the advantage of reinforced tendons to be able to cushion a fall. Once I took them, I never looked back.

cant you just replace your legs for complete cyber/robot legs?

Yeah, the three options you have are what we are talking about.
- Double jump (rare/uncommon?, reinforced tendons)
- Charge jump (rare/uncommon?, fortified ankles)
- Hover jump (epic, fortified ankles)

All three of these replace your legs. As far as I know, these are the only three options you have. You have to buy them from ripper docs. The Hover jump you can only get from Fingers (and only if you don't punch him).

Shoot, ya, I forgot about the Lynx paws. So 4 options.

Basically, fortified ankles are for vertical movement, as you can jump higher.
Reinforced tendons on the other hand have a shorter jump, BUT you gain horizontal mobility.

I tried both and preferred the latter, because even though you might lose a bit of jump height, you gain tremendous maneuverability... but that's my preference!

For simply getting around and move faster, the Double Jump is really nice. Highly recommended. You can also double-jump before falling down.
