What Is a Console Jump
A budget happy jump using a Game Console item (from Game Shop or Toy Shop job) to convert energy to happiness. Cheaper than e-dvd jumps, good from start until ~220k single stat.
Requires: Game Shop or Toy Shop job, 5 star or higher.
How to Do It
- Stack energy to 900 (150 natural + 3 xanax)
- Wait for drug cooldown
- Wait for happy timer reset (resets hourly at :00, :15, :30, :45)
- Use console 60x at 5 energy each = 300e spent = ~12k happiness (avg 198 happy per use)
- Max PI = 5,025 happy
- 49 cheap candies = 1,200 happy
- Toy Store job happy = 500 happy (if 10 star)
- Take ecstasy to double all happiness = ~37k total happy
- Train with remaining 600 energy + 1 refill (150 energy)
Full cycle = 26 hours (21h stacking + 5h regen to 150e).
Costs
3 xanax + 1 energy refill + 49 cheap candies + ecstasy = ~$3.3M per jump
Compare: e-dvd jump costs ~$19.8M per jump (5 e-dvds at $3.3M each + same base costs).
Console is 34% less effective than e-dvd but 6x cheaper.
When to Use
Start at: Knuckle Heads gym (STR 4.8 modifier unlocked) Stop at: 220k single stat (overdose risk + gains not worth it vs regular training)
After stopping: switch to Music Store 3 star to recover gym exp unlock speed.
Jump Comparison Summary
| Method | Cost/jump | Stop at | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Console | $3.3M | 220k stat | Budget option, slower gym unlocks |
| Regular training | $3.3M | 220k+ | Better gym progression |
| e-dvd | $19.8M | 500k stat | Best gains, expensive |
| e-dvd + AN 10 star | $19.8M+ | 600k stat | +100% e-dvd efficiency |
Gym Stat Priority
Each gym has one best stat to train. Always train that stat for bonus efficiency. Example: Average Joes, DEF modifier 2.7 vs others at 2.4 = +12.5% if you train DEF.
Happiness vs Stats Gained (at low stats)
| Happy | Gains per 1000 energy | vs Trailer |
|---|---|---|
| Trailer | 38 stats | baseline |
| Villa 300 happy | 47 stats | +23% |
| Basic PI 2000 happy | 246 stats | +543% |
| Max PI 5025 happy | 531 stats | +1,289% |
