Regarding the Jetpack Nerf and why it should be reverted

[Cat_Soldier]

I have always seen jetpack in lethal company is a fun high risk high skill item. If Minecraftpro55 bought the jetpack and doesn’t know how to use it, you screwed up your lobby, but if you practice and get good at using it, it becomes such an amazing and useful tool being able to pull off insane clutches, or crazy plays in the game.

v50 so far has seemed to be making this game a lot more difficult, such as increasing the weight of the shovels, or making baboon hawks a lot more lethal, or adding the old birds. So when taking this into account, the jetpack changes seem extremely confusing.

The jetpack changes seem to make it a lot simpler, but practically gut that whole high risk high reward aspect of it. It feels sluggish, slow, and feels like a waste of money now instead of being that high adrenaline high risk tool that you can practice and get good at. It feels like the skill floor of this item was significantly lowered but the skill ceiling of it was cut. You can still do plays with it but it’s worse in every way and was a change that was completely unnecessary and not needed. I’m just hoping this is a bug, but judging how it doesn’t explode anymore, I fear the worst.

But the snakes are nice though. Best addition in this small patch

Who knows. You have to stalk the dev on social media to figure out any info on this game because he refuses to use Steam to communicate with the playerbase.

Okay guys so I'm in the middle of testing reworked jetpack and it's not that bad, yeah you can no longer easly escape enemy cuz of the 5 second charge time but its the same thing, the only thing I don't understand is JUMPBOOST. It's kinda useless now. Oh and overheat mechanic is removed so jetpack enginge sound doesn't loop correctly but it's still v50 beta.

It’s pretty bad compared to what it used to be. It was pretty much gutting something that didnt need to be gutted or changed. It takes way longer to get to the same speed the original achieved and overall takes a lot longer to travel, in addition to just making it simpler (in the worst way possible honestly). Even past the 5 seconds it’s noticeable slower than the original.

It’s a change than did not need to happen or was necessary, I’ve never seen anyone complain about the jetpack unless if it was about the janky controls or the recent jetpack bug that stored damage. It was a hard tool that once mastered became the funnest and most useful tools in runs enabling more risky plays

The jetpack began to work inadequately; by the time you just take off, you already spend 50% of the charge

At least they are contactable and dont rely on agents writing copy pasta emails when you want support nowadays.
