Personal Teleporter

The Personal Teleporter is the final Quantum Physics research topic in the game. and thus is the most powerful item in the game, allowing instantaneous movement to any location on the map for any number of conceivable reasons that you can think of.

Each use of the teleporter consumes the entire battery, despite the official entry stating that it is distance based. Teleporters will recharge slowly over time.

With careful Teleporter Management, multiple Teleporters can employed to extremely good effect in Real Time combat while the game is paused.

Official Entry: "This extraordinary device uses inter-dimensional capability to transport the user over short distances via a dimensional flux. The energy level depletes according to the distance jumped, but it recovers over time."

Usage Examples

A handful of the many examples that can be done with the teleporter include escaping dangerous combat situations such as when a dimension missile or Popper explodes next to your agent. It can be used to teleport right behind an enemy such as shielded Anthropod or Megaspawn to put you in perfect position to unleash a full-auto dual Power Sword or Toxigun assault at point blank range before they even know what hit them. It can be used to get out of the way of an Entropy or Dimension Missile at the last second, or flee the explosion before any damage is done. In Real-Time, Agents can teleport around the battlefield dropping blast-on-impact Vortex Mines or Alien Gas grenades all in one pause session. Teleporters can also be used to allow ground based units to reach areas that normally can only be reached through flight, and those that have flight can teleport in mid-air.
