Recommended places with Jetpack?

[DR. Crowbarsendberg]

So, the Jetpack was a very neat and unexpected addition to the Fallout Franchise in this game and if you are willing to part with some fusion cores, which I am, I found it to really change how I play this game in some instances. Like, when I am in parts of the city that has 3 story buildings or so, I'm easily able to get to the roofs and then go from roof to roof ala Assassin's Creed and simultaneously have good overwatch of anyone who would try to ambush me.

The question I'm throwing out to the forum, any particular places that can only be accessed by jetpack or any particularly fun things to do with the jetpack that anyone here would recommend?

For instance, you know those multi-windmill towers slightly southeast of sunshine tidings co-op? One thing I did that felt totally awesome was fly from one piece of broken freeway to the next.

Also, a tip: Overdrive Servos and the JetPack synergize really well, if you start sprinting and then from a sprint jump and activate your jetpack, you're able to cross quite a bit more distance laterally.

It's only purpose was the e3 demo for hype.

Explosive Vent + jetpack should allow you to get the drop on your enemies.

Well, I didn't see that part of the E3 demo, I only discovered it after I was far enough in the game and I finally had T-60 and was like, "did I just read that correctly, does it say jetpack?" Gotta disagree, I mean, power armor already makes me feel this way in the game, but giving me the ability to fly, even in small amounts, does a lot to instill a sort of, 'god amongst mere mortals aspect'.

Damn right! I saw people who do this and was like, "DAMN, dude's like a space marine!"

For the record, in Fallout 4, I only do combat in Power Armor because in my view, that's the only plausible way one person could kill hundreds of other people single-handedly or even with a companion.

Could use a Thunderhammer :)

I like the Jetpack alright, but alas, I lack the AP from not having an Agility heavy build, and I'm in serious buttlove with the Tesla Coil chest mod. Melee dudes just melt as you watch them get bombarded by arcs of electricity. Makes Ghouls a total joke. Plus I'm pretty stingy with my cores, even with maxed Nuclear Physicist ranks.

Careful with Tesla Coils. It might make some NPC's hostile.

Yeah, I read it elsewhere. I'm kind of a quicksave/frequent save ♥♥♥♥♥, so I just unequip if I suspect it might screw something up or reload if it does. Still so worth it to be a walking bugzapper :P
