possable to boost the jet pack?

[Heartless]

ether bit more height, or faster recharging,, or maybe more horizontal thrust? cause atm going only 4 feet off the ground seems kinda a waste of a back slot item..

It's been asked about many times, but no confirmation from AH if they will. The biggest complaint has been the recharge time.

Twinbeard has let it slip that they're planning to buff the jetpack in some way. Likely very soon, and probably along with the Purifier.

It's still got it's uses, but getting up to strange places isn't always possible. It's more about crossing small gaps or safely descending steep drops. The charge time is for sure way too long for what it does.

i seriously hope they do go ahead and upgrade the backpack could open up some new combat possibility's,, and hopfully fix few more things like the plas-101 purifier its to similar to the plasma shot gun,, i don't know maybe like longer you charge it the bigger the aoe effect or something,, as for the new stim gun im sorry its completely useless people die to fast,, or too far to hit many many other factors. the new gas drone along with all drones could do with a distance setting ( change the distance will roam out from user) and or target single-group mobs..

Just about the only real use I've noted for the jumppack is quickly moving to the other side of a tank or turret so you can blast the weak point. Its afterburner that prevents fall damage (but only after using the boost...which is a shame) is nice as well.

Really, we all know why people bring it. It's so they can char up their cape and have a cool looking tattered rag flowing behind them, real hardcore, gritty survivor man stuff. The kind of cape worj by a guy who survives with nothing but a cashew, three inches of crossbow string and an empty thermite grenade for 30 days on Hellmire until his Super Destroyer finds and rescues him.

A very manly kind of man, with a cape as scarred and venerable as he is.

buff's incoming. The devs already made a statement about it

The game doesn't have a transparent arc when throwing, so the jetpack wouldn't have a transparent arc when jumping for people to really know the distance things can travel.

I always see people on jungle planets try and jetpack over a lake and drown.
It's almost a 100% chance the jetpack guy drowns while we walk around unable to retrieve the samples.
