Jetpack is an item in Lethal Company.

The jetpack is an item that allows the player to fly. The flight direction can be steered using directional inputs; W and S control pitch, and A and D control yaw. The jetpack will accelerate as long as the user holds it down, quickly becoming dangerous as it will heavily damage the player or explode when slamming into walls at high speeds. The jetpack can also explode midair if used for extended periods of time, or if flying too high, killing the user. Used correctly, the jetpack is a great tool for traversing long distances quickly and safely.

Controls

• [LMB] - Holding down left mouse button will make the jetpack accelerate and allow flight.

Strategy

Loot Transportation Strategies

• If you have 1 jetpack, when you are ready to transport all loot from the building to the ship, transport all one-handed scrap first using the jetpack, and then all two-handed scrap without it.
• If you have 2+ jetpacks, when you are ready to transport all loot from the building to the ship, follow this sequence.
  • Transport 1 two-handed scrap without any other items in your inventory to minimize carry weight.
  • Use a jetpack to fly to the building.
  • Consider any remaining jetpacks on the ship:
    • If there are still jetpacks on the ship, drop your jetpack and return to step 1.
    • If there aren't, transport all one-handed items (including any jetpacks) to the ship and then return to step 2.

Notes

• You can fly underwater as easily as in air. When underwater, the electricity will NOT kill you.
• The jetpack will stop working for as long as a tulip snake flaps its wings at an employee.
• Lightning can strike the player even while airborne. As the jetpack is conductive, exercise caution if you find yourself in stormy weather.
• The jetpack's battery will sometimes discharge while not in use. To fix this, drop the jetpack while holding LMB. This is called "inversing", and also causes the battery to not drain while in use. This can lead to near infinite flight.
• Newer players tend to struggle with the jetpack, so it may be best to leave jetpack usage to the more experienced players in the crew.
