How to get the jetpack?
The jetpack is available practically from the start of the game. You will receive it only a dozen or so minutes into the prologue. During the Nothing to Lose quest, that is after talking to Adam, you will gain access to the jetpack.
How to use the jetpack?
Using the jetpack is very simple - press the corresponding button to lift your character into the air. Of course, you can only stay in the air for a limited time - you have to pay attention to the bar visible in the bottom right corner of the screen. It indicates your fuel reserve - when the bar runs out, the jetpack will stop working and Jax will fall to the ground. Fuel refills automatically when you aren't using the jetpack and you are on the ground.
How to upgrade the jetpack?
Upgrading your jetpack takes place at the Jet Pack Bench. You will find these benches in various parts of the world, for example, one of them is located in the main building in the Bastion.
Upgrading the jetpack looks similar to unlocking character skills. You will need to have Elexit crystals and skill points and you will need to raise your attributes to the required level - the most important attribute when it comes to the jetpack is Intelligence. These upgrades will increase your amount of fuel and thus extend the time in the air, increase your flight speed or unlock additional moves.
How to increase the amount of fuel?
To increase the capacity of the jetpack tank, you have to collect fuel such as in the screenshot above. You can find fuel in various locations, and you can also buy it from some traders.
It's also necessary to buy the upgrade called the Additional Tank. From now on, at the Jetpack Stand, you can use up previously acquired fuel and permanently increase the amount of available fuel.
How to fight using the jetpack?
Air combat isn't available from the start. To access it, you need to purchase an upgrade called Floating - it will allow you to unlock the ability to hover in the air and use weapons at the same time. Buying the Maneuvering Boosters upgrade to unlock the ability to move sideways is also a good idea.
How to fly faster?
In turn, flying faster in Elex 2 can be unlocked through the Sprint Boosters upgrade. This add-on won't permanently activate faster flying - you will have to turn it on with the corresponding button. Remember that flying faster consumes more fuel.
You should be careful when flying fast - the high speed affects the controls, which can lead to Jax's death. Deactivate boost before running out of fuel (to land safely) or fly low.
How to avoid falling?
The jetpack in the Elex 2 is a great way to get down from heights. All you have to do is activate the jetpack every now and then - this will reduce your falling speed.
Additionally, you can also buy the Retrorockets upgrade and install retrorockets in the jetpack to protect you from a deadly fall.
Unlimited fuel - how to get?
It is possible to obtain an upgrade that provides unlimited fuel. For this, you must complete The Changeling's Plan quest, which is one of the last quests in the main storyline of Elex 2. After completing it, the fuel bar will not decrease, which makes exploration much easier and allows you to reach previously inaccessible areas.
