As a training item, the Sticky Jumper fires completely harmless stickybombs, which deal the same knockback to the player as a normal Sticky bomb (But dealing no knockback at all to enemies), allowing players to freely practice sticky jumping techniques. While the weapon only allows for two sticky-bombs to be deployed at once, the ammo count for the weapon is tripled, giving the user forty-eight extra stickybombs to use. The user is still vulnerable to self-damage from other explosive weaponry as well as fall damage. Players equipped with this weapon are unable to carry the intelligence in Capture the Flag mode or the Australium briefcase in Special Delivery mode.
