Bounce Mat

== Summary ==
The Bounce Mat is a gadget that can be thrown on the ground to create a jump pad or avoid fall damage.
== Tips and Tricks ==
=== With ===
* Use the Bounce Mat to quickly jump between different floors or escape combat in maps with tall buildings or multi-leveled structures, such as Operation: Diamond Spire, or the Vault area in Operation: Hard Sell. Consequently, be careful in areas with lower ceilings if the Bounce Mat is your primary escape plan.
* Right-clicking will instantly deploy and inflate the Bounce Mat beneath your feet, allowing for quick jumps.
* The Bounce Mat can be used as a makeshift wall. Drop the Bounce Mat in front of a door and inflate it to block the door, forcing players to attack it and blow their Cover to pass.
* The Bounce Mat bounces other players away as well as yourself. Throw the Bounce Mat at an enemy's feet and inflate it to knock them away, or lay it beforehand as a trap. This is especially useful during Extraction, as you can deny an enemy's escape or escape yourself by knocking away enemies blocking your progress.
* Throw the Bounce Mat while falling and land on it to negate fall damage.
=== Against ===
* Engage players in areas with low verticality to decrease their chances of jumping away. Using the Signal Scrambler or Yu-Mi's EMP fields can also help.
* Though the Bounce Mat is not primarily used as a trap, you should nevertheless watch your step for it when charging towards an enemy, especially if you could potentially be knocked off the map and instantly killed. Should you see it, it can be destroyed with a single shot.
