Where are the Jet Boots?

[boop]

I've seen them one time out of 40 or so missions.

Why are they so rare? It seems like they are supposed to help with the corrupter more than anything; but what good are they really if the spawn rate is THIS low.

They are suppose to be rare, otherwise it makes most of the traversal tools redundant, save for Drillers drills, if it was more common. They are just like any other random "event" that can happen on a mission, from cargo crates and lost gear, matrix core events, Bet-C, Goldbulk and so on.

This, also i played like a dozen of missions and got 3~4 already since the update

It's the usual suspect: RNG

The Jet Boots are rare like Bet-C, Lost Helment, Cargo Crates. It could be it spawned in a mission you were in but nobody found it.

I found one. Got attacked by a wave. Fired engi's nuke which crashed the game :(

Jet boots are also in the top of the space rig.

You're not missing much. I think they suck, actually.

[Ender Zayne]

I ate them.

This would be a plossible excuse... if the box didn't have a rather notable audio cue similar to the Crate's batteries and Lost's helmet.

Argueably but you can also miss it if you go past it during a swarm or such. Or in my case for example, Im half deaf, the sounds on my left sounds much weaker than the ones to my right. So if a box like that is somewhat distant to my left, I wont hear unless my right ear is towards its direcction at a time it beeps.

On the other hand, if I hear even the faintest sound, I can just spind around and propperly tell from wich side a sound is comming from (just cant tell up/downs afterwards due my disability). So I try to be generous and say there can be scenarios for others to miss on the crate.

Even if this is the case, the crate itself appears on the map once it's found (or even opened for that matter) so even if this scenario does happen, you can look at the map and if you see a little purplish box then chances are that's going to be the crate for the boots.

You can balance your audio levels in windows itself. No idea what linux offers you.
