Quick Links
It’s always good to take a look at the world from a new angle andLethal Companyallows players to do that with the Jetpack. While it’s one of the more pricey tools you may buy, it can help you get across high places in the world and over gaps in bunkers.
It can be easily acquired if you’ve had several good salvage runs, but the controls are a bit tricky to get the hang of. Using it incorrectly can be explosive, so you should be wary of falling from great heights or losing yourself in the darkness.
Lethal Company is still in the Early Access, which means that the content may change as the game gets updated. If that happens, the information in this guide will be updated to include the correct information.
How To Get The Jetpack
Players can easily find the Jetpack at the start of any game by looking in their terminal’s store, whereit can be purchased for 700 credits. This is a hefty sum and makes theJetpack one of the most expensive itemsyou can purchase.
While expensive,being able to fly on certain levels may help playersget hard-to-reach loot, fly over large gaps, andavoid some monsters altogether. It also has itsdownsides,including being surprisingly fragile.
You may need toplay it a bit safely if you’re trying to save upfor the item. If you and your entire team die,you’ll lose whatever you already collected on your shipand the entire day.This could put you behindon your quota andwill make it that much harder to save upfor the item.
How To Use The Jetpack
When you finally get a jetpack, you’ll be relieved to findthe controls are fairly easy to understand, with theignition being controlled by the Left Mouse Buttonby default. You’ll use the mouse to move the camera, just like normal, andthe WASD keys will tilt you forward, left, back, and right, in that order.
It’s much easier to fly if you jumpand then hold the button, asyou’ll begin to rise and movein the direction that the jetpack’s engines are facing. Imaginingthe top of your character’s head pointing in the directionyou want to go is helpful as well.
It’s veryeasy to lose control of the jetpackonce you start flying due to the increased speed and how easy it is to turn. For that reason,it is likely easier to use it in short burstsandtime out your usesonce you get used to how it moves.
You will get hurt if you fall from a fairly average heightwhile wearing it. However,it can be used to slow yourself downas well,which should prevent this.
After repeated damage,the canisters on the jetpack will explode, which includes bumping into some structures. The jetpack will also explode if you simply use it for too long, so be measured with your usage.
As one of the better upgrades, it’s up to players who’ve saved up enough todecide whether it’s worth the risks of damageand the loss of an inventory slot.
