Well when they'd jump they'd leave a "wake" and the paladins could just follow that wake every time so it does kind of make sense. I haven't seen it actually in over 5 years, I need to rewatch again actually.
Yeah, they had the technology to go through the "wakes", but the Jumpers could also jump repeatedly at will. They never really seem to get tired and there's no real limitation outside of not seeing the place. So, they could jump nonstop to multiple places around the world. Are they going to hop through 300 different jump spots? What if one of them leads them to 10,000 meters mid-air. We see Jumpers capable of jumping suspended mid-air, lol.
I'd just bait them into following my wakes and lead them to a final wake mid-air where they'd plummet to their deaths. Could've jumped into a military base, grabbed explosives and weapons, wreak havoc on paladins. It just didn't make a lot of sense, the Jumpers would be extremely powerful in reality and there'd be little to nothing we could do about them. Maybe covert ops with silent snipers to take them out when they're unaware. But that's only if you can actually find them in the first place, which is pretty difficult. I remember one of the characters living in Egypt in some ruins in the middle of nowhere. It took the US ten years of dedicated resources to finding Bin Laden, now imagine if he could just teleport anywhere on the planet at will.
You'd just never find a Jumper if he really didn't want to be found.
Yeah agree, they're pretty OP!
