What it does
The Jetpack is a mobility tool and a storage container in one. Hold W while it has condition to accelerate upward, or use short bursts to slow a fall. It also provides 2.5u of capacity with 70% encumbrance reduction, making it a credible alternative to a Backpack.
Its weaknesses are weight and water. At 2.5u it is heavy, and while wet it alternates between working and malfunctioning; on average it fails for about 32.8% of the time. Flight drains 1.35% condition per second, giving roughly 74 seconds of continuous thrust. At 0% it still works as a container.
Effects and usage
- Hold W to accelerate upward while condition remains.
- Slows descent and can cross gaps that would otherwise be lethal.
- 2.5u capacity, 2u max item weight, 70% encumbrance reduction.
- 5% insulation; 1.35% condition drain per second of flight.
How to get it
Rare field equipment in life-pods and late-layer loot. Not craftable in the demo.
This item is found as loot or bought from survivors; it has no crafting recipe in the current demo build. Its value scales with condition, charge or fluid volume, so sell it only after checking the trade value.
Field notes
- Do not fly while wet unless you have no other option.
- Use short taps to control falls instead of holding thrust.
- It replaces the Backpack slot; choose mobility or capacity, not both.
- Keep a backup light in your inventory; the jetpack does not illuminate.
