"The fastest way to transport loot, and the fastest way to explode."
Fan-made gameplay database. Values vary by seed/version. Updated: 2026.
OPERATIONAL GUIDE
Hold [Space] to ascend. Release to drop. If the thrust meter turns red, stop immediately or you will explode (killing you and destroying the item).
Allows you to bypass all outdoor threats (Giants, Dogs, Worms) by flying over them. Essential for Artifice/Titan high-quota runs.
LOGISTICS ANALYSIS
As a purchased tool, the ROI (Return on Investment) of the Jetpack depends on crew utility. At 900 credits, it typically requires the successful retrieval of approximately 23 average scrap items to break even. Losing this equipment during a failed run is a meaningful setback for early-game economy.
Standard safety protocols apply to the Jetpack. This item is non-conductive, making it safer to carry during Stormy conditions. This can improve route consistency on maps like Titan or March during thunderstorms, since you can transport it without relying on the "drop-walk" safety cadence. Additionally, because it requires two hands, your interaction speed is reduced: doors, ladders, and quick tool swaps become less reliable while transporting it.
EXPERT TIPS
- ➤ Drop the Jetpack at the ship door to save weight, run inside, grab loot, run back, equip Jetpack, and fly the loot to the counter. Don't wear it inside the facility.
