Helldivers 2 - how to spread your jump pack wings and fly 

Brethren. The mobility this offers is insane. Imagine being locked into left and right. Couldn’t be me, I’m going over.

I still think the jump recharge time should be reduced. The fact that the shield pack regens faster than the jump pack is kinda BS!

I am a jump-pack connoisseur and I have some other tips and observations: 1) Beware of fire with the pack. Too many hulks have caught me, and you will die if you catch fire midair.2) Getting to higher ground tends to have less fog so you can see and sniper even better. While your team is approaching an object and getting set up, work on getting higher. 3) While playing the bots, if you jump on a flat-topped terrain feature, but are getting overwhelmed lay down to avoid fire. 4) If you are planning to jump or if it is a remotely important jump, seek higher ground. Even standing on a barrel can get you the perfect jump. 5) I like the energy weapon/jump pack combo because I do not run out of ammo when I am stuck a rock spire and surrounded. 6) Beware that the jump pack's braking shot will trigger if you fly too close to an object. If you are jumping from on high and just miss a fence, your brakes will fire early, and you will hit the ground a little too hard causing you to take damage. Sometimes you got to do it, but just be aware.

I hope they add a module that increases height of the jump by 10% or maybe a module that gives us 2 uses per charge.

Vaulting over fire tornadoes, mines and napalm eagles. Infiltrating bot Jammer bases. Taking a group's aggro and flying off behind terrain, effectively making them run after your ghost.Guerilla tactics at its best.

2 things. I think the jump pack should have a 10-15 second recharge, not 20. And I think it should have 3 modes. Height mode which burns the launch and the recovery to get you higher and is less reactive to existing forward speed when you launch, Launch mode which is the current normal mode, and Speed mode which doesn't lift you at all and burns both the launch and recovery to add ALL of it straight to your running speed, basically tripling it for 2-3 seconds or whatever the total burn time is.

Titanfall mentioned. Now you have converted me to a jump pack main.

Jumpack goes so well with a turret oriented build... allows you to place very good turrets on heights.

Some of the strats I’ve been using with the jump pack are 1. Force bugs to walk around terrain. This is way more noticeable the more you try it, anything that requires a vault to get over, almost all bugs have to go around instead. So even the smallest ledge forces them on a longer path where you can start dealing damage. 2. Going down hills gets you insaaaane distance and time save vs running. You can start a fight at the top of a hill or bring a group up there, just to jet pack down and sort of corral the enemies, giving you a ton of time to shoot them. 3. You get to “solve” extraction by just getting up to the highest rock and lying down. You can either stealth or wait out aggro’d enemies till the shuttle lands then fly over to the door very consistently. 4. Cannon turrets don’t seem that good at hitting you flying, hasn’t happened to me once yet. I think you can just reaction jet pack to the red light lighting up. 5. You can clear the explosion of a cluster bomb with a little extra height from starting up on something, same with an impact nade (throw it as you start the jump), you can make it over a napalms fire to force bugs to walk through it to get to you, etc etc

I didn't think someone could spend 12 minutes giving actual useful advice... about a Jump Pack. This actually has helped out a ton!

I used to "not" to like jump pack before because i thought it was useless. But i gave it a shot again and after learning on how to really use its potential, boy i was dead wrong. Im in love with this thing now, will not play without it. It saved me many times more than the shield, especially against bugs. It gives you that 2 steps ahead kind of thing when youre using it, as long as you know how and when to use it.

1. Jumpack can be used to easily hop onto friends' mechs to provide additional cover 2. You can jump onto chargers and ride them! yay! Don't ride bile titans though. They're almost a 100% guaranteed death. 3. You can use jumpack to easily sneak onto many Automaton objectives and important targets, couple examples: - Skip a long way to disable a jammer - Hop onto a factory strider, this requires a bit of height (the AT-AT doggy) - Easily jump over tanks blocking paths. You can also stand on them to confuse them, if situation allows this can help your teammates A LOT. Beware of tracks. - Easily get to that small, fenced area that is under a Gunship facility so it can be hellbombed hella easy 4. Change elevation heights often with bugs to make them chase you around the terrain while u just skip it Nice vid btw

You completely left out my favorite use for the jump pack, extending the range of your strategem throws. If you throw the grenade while jumping, you get about 20 meters of extra distance. Great for reinforcing, orbital barrages, and throwing down supplies while on the move. Edit: you didn't leave it out, just didn't have any footage showcasing it.

That little big planet music in the background bringing back good memories

I think a cool buff for the jump pack would be to always let you fall softly like at the end of a jump, it would still use fuel but it could make it useful in situations where you need to go down, not up

If you are hip firing a lot, I recommend to enable the reticle to always be visible in options -> HUD

Additional tip I have found is that if you do a stationary jump, you are able to aim weapons like the EAT and Quasar cannon accurately and get a shot off if you do it at the peak of the jump. This is super useful for quickly shooting at cannons, tanks or dropships behind cover.

A couple of days ago i was fighting terminids on the Fori Prime. It's that planet with a frequent tremors and a massive cliffs, which make you circle the whole map just to get every objective done, as those cliffs very often blocking your direct path. I don't know why, but that time i forced myself out of my "meta" loadout and got back to the jetpack again to have some fun just like the first time. I tell you what, i got OVER the overpass which was blocked off by the middle sized cliff, thanks to the jumppack. I couldn't even believe it'd be possible to do that, but it was. I just managed to mantle through some of the "convenient" rocks nearby and jumppacked to the top. I checked the minimap and i saw how teammates behind me were just looking at me with their cones and like "wth? HOW?". So yes, i agree, this game definitely needs MORE movement stratagems to have fun with

Level 58, just started using it on Bug missions. I'm not sure if it's usefulness is quite worth taking up a slot, but damn if it doesn't look, sound, and feel cool as Hell when it activates. Jumping off of a cliff or hilltop so you get maximum height and flight time never gets old. It is effective for jumping over enemies and getting out of tight spots too.

Solid info: no fluff; no BS. Well done, sir!

I also run the jump pack all the time! Great tutorial that goes over a lot of the basics of using it -- I've seen a lot of folks poo-poo it because its not entirely obvious how to best use it and it is rather inflexible. One great tip with the jump pack is that the secondary burst of jet to cancel fall damage triggers based on how close you are to touching the ground, not on a set timer. You can use this to great advantage if you're at the top of a hill or cliff and need to clear a lot of distance quickly. Doing a sprinting jump at those high points can mean easily clearing 30 to 40 meters in a matter of seconds, depending on how high the hill or cliff are.

300 hrs in game and have always used the jump pack. Glad to see others seeing how slept on it is

Tanking more shots within danger and removing yourself from the danger are two different things and require drastically different approaches. It's actually perfect for helldive you can avoid the bot drop mixed with a marksman rifle and you never deal with more then a handful of bots or bugs.

The Jump Pack exists a layer above the shield pack on the survivability onion. Instead of not taking damage, just don't get hit entirely!

Hell yeah. Glad to see I'm not the only one who mains the Jump Pack. People sleep on it way too hard.

Either shorter cool downs or more than one jump per charge and I would use it. I also think there should be ship modules upgrading it to jump higher and further.

I've been wanting to use the jump pack for a while, and this info is what I needed for sure. I do kind of wish it played more like the Halo Reach jetpack while this is more like the Dark Trooper jetpack from classic Star Wars Battlefront, but I enjoyed both of them in their own ways.

10:59 This is my tip for using the jetpack the most effective way. If you can find a high place and jump off it while sprinting , you're golden. You go way over the original distance you would. It also catches you , so you don't take fall damage. I have tested this with random players who were running downhill , I gave them a little head start , sprinted , jump pack-ed and almost caught up to them. It's amazing for mobility and getting quickly around the map.

I started using this just to deal with frustrating terrain and heavy armor slowness, but now I can't put it down. It's so useful to be able to get to high ground, ESPECIALLY at an enemy camp or at exfil. I wear the heavy medic butcher armor, so I'm still pretty survivable without a shield pack, and the jump pack compliments my playstyle really well.

I'll definitly be using the pack when available now Another movement tech I use a lot is with those mushroom spores on hot planets like hellmire If you shoot them, they explode and send you flying, I've now gotten good at standing on top of them, jumping back, and firing to fling myself across the map. Generally the lower the angle you get the lower the damage unless you hit a wall directly. Usually you'll need a stim but sometimes ive gotten away with minimal damage even in light armor. Its been fun for just crossing the map slightly faster than someone sprinting but its also been useful when your trapped in a desperate swam with no way to run out. Pop a stim, and take a leap of faith, gave me enough distance to get running and put a strategem between me and the swarm

I like to use the jump pack with the eruptor, it offer so many utility. Eruptor is basically a grenade launcher with the range of sniper, you can destroy bot factory at long range, then jump to somewhere high to finish the remaining bots. Jump pack also help you jump over the fire tornado so it's a big plus

Jetpack is my favorite thing in the game! Thank you for the video. Some tips I have to add: 1. The arc benefits more than any weapon by being above the ground cover (like bushes) which block your arc. The jetpack makes that automatic. 2. When using the quasar or laser cannon, it is helpful to jump and charge your shot it while in the air, land, aim, and let it go. 3. My biggest tip is to not jump into any fight on flat ground. I know it’s boring to hold back but instead save the activation and having it on hand to escape a sudden problem, like a charger or misplaced stratagem dramatically increases your survivability. 4. It makes it easier to run the 380mm barrage and safely get away. Really it does this for every large AOE stratagem. 5. It is nice for jumping over where someone’s flamethrower has lit the ground or there a fire tornado path. It’s also great w the flamethrower period to be up high. 6. When bugs are chasing you, jumping over a V-shaped valley from one high side to another is an instant escape. 7. Like the video said, it is great w sniper rifles but also the laser cannon, which basically is the energy sniper. My fav is eruptor plus the cannon. 8. This is implied by the info in the video but when running for your life, it is best to jump asap or, dive, stand, run, then jump. If you screw up and jump early, it will snub the jump because your forward movement is so slow. 9. The jetpack is as much an offensive item as a defensive one. Look for raised terrain with no way to climb and you will be able to reign offense down on those around you. 10. Objects higher than head level are great to hop over when being chased by bots. It creates an instant block of their vision, which in turn staggers their bots in different ways (some will begin to run while others stand and shoot the rock). This creates separation and if you do fight them, they are easier because they are staggered.

How in the world do you only have 93 subscribers?! That’s way more informative than the things big content creators post, that also shove 3 minutes of ads in a 10 minute in your face. You’ve got you a new subscriber mate!

liked not only for jump pack but for Left Bank Two in the background. LBP went hard

Love me my jet pack. MY trick to add is that being able to get to the tall rocks on some automoton kill missions can single-handedly win you that mission

Hello everyone! My name is Gabe and I'm here because I'm a serious jump pack addict.

as level 67, now I know that I didn't know about jump pack thanks for video

Great tutorial and in-depth on the Jump Pack! Awesome. Thank you.

100 percent agree! Lets get a ship upgrade for the jumppack and more movement strats!

I use the jumpack with my 'firefly' load-out, jumpack + flame thrower + incendiar strategems and grenades. It's a fun time, everything burns. :D

The biggest things are that it just isn’t worth it to use this instead of the shield pack as a defensive utility, and as a mobility utility it just doesn’t provide enough. It desperately needs a small cd reduction as a defensive positioning utility, the shield pack recharges faster! But I think it would feel much better if it went farther and higher (especially higher when standing still) to allow more flexibility when positioning around bigger cliffs and to basically dive into cover across long distances like those very open automaton outposts.

It took like until lvl 90 something before I got in on the jump pack glory. I went from Shield pack to Rover to Jump pack. Oh boy do miss it when I don’t have it! However I’ve been a bit hesitant using with the bots but I shall go at’em with today to see if it suits my play style against them rust buckets… Cheers m8! Really appreciate the video! 👋✌️🖖

a neat bit of tech i found myself: if you jump down a hill or are about to land on something like a fence or rock, the small burst at the end will carry you a meter or two further. it isn't the biggest thing in the world, but it does make traversal faster if you do it multiple times. pair that with the fact that you don't get nearly as much out of the jump pack when you're traveling up hill, it is always worthwhile to wait until you're at the peak before jumping

I’d love to see the pack change based on the armor you use. Light armor you fly higher and heavy lower. Would be cool to have an armor perk add more fuel to a jump to go longer or higher ontop of the previously mentioned light armor buff.

I was playing with my squad two days ago, we didn't have rainforsments at the end of the mission, they all died, i just hit a cliff, and from there i jumped over the bile titan's head straight into pelican-1. Now i'm use jump pack almost all the time😁😁😁😁

Good with heavy armor to help with the mobility issues, pair with the stamina stratagem and you're basically medium armor

The jump pack is part of my standard kit. You basically mentioned all the reasons, but it also allows you to jump over chargers and shoot them in the vital areas. It combo's well with the new grenade pistol if used right. If you jump down hill, you can cover some insane amount of ground almost instantly as well. Like 40 to 50 yard jumps in a few seconds. A useful tool indeed.

Outstanding collection of tips

0:43 based LBP music. Brings a tear to my eye

I originally wasn't a big fan of the jump pack, but I started using it more and more to get on top of rocks and buildings. It's started to become my go-to choice for bug and bot missions. Sadly, I get kicked pretty regularly for using it. Even had someone in a voice call the other day _demanding_ my justification for using it, and shutting me down every time I tried to explain.

You can begin a HMG / heavy weapon backpack reload in the air from a jump pack and still land smoothly.

I'd like to see some Ship Upgrades for the Jump Pack. Either more height or lower cooldown, or both mwahahaha! Against Bugs, I like to use it to get turrets placed in safer locations. Getting an autocannon turret high enough to where the million chargers can't head butt it is a good time.

I became a believer in the jump pack a few days ago when I watched a diver jump over an impassable cliff face and then call me down a pack of my own. I was hesitant to drop my autocannon ammo but with how little time we had to extract I picked up the pack and since I've been addicted. I don't like running into lvl 60+ players who worship the meta and will complain about me running jump pack and AMR to fight bots though:( i just think it's the perfect combo cause it's ~100% of the autocannon with the mobility to reposition quickly. I can two shot hunters and take out commissars before they launch their flare and quickly get some distance if I run into berserkers.

Thank you. This answers my question last night of WHY, i was able to jet pack up to a point, but then was unable to do it again.

The safe landing feature is the best part of the jump pack, as it lets you launch for miles from a roost. Perfect for a sniper, cover your team from afar, ignore the bugs that get drawn towards yourself... When they start to climb up to you call a small orbital at your own location and yeet yourself half a mile away.

This is the video us jump pack enthusiast have been waiting for. I also like to use the jump pack to jump over chargers and make them slam into a rock. Its also so good at getting that high ground on the new defense missions

Great job testing the Jump pack!! I learned a lot!!!

I haven't used this strategem a lot. Its pretty cool to see it demonstrated as more than a niche use case strategem.

Jump pack let me feels like a mandalorian every time

The fact you used music from Little Big Planet makes me like this video even more!

That jump pack and drop into the other jump back and boost seemed like it actually gave you an even farther jump. That would be hot to use to clear an un usual distance perhaps. Kind of hope the devs do give a bit more love tot he jump pack. Of course right now I need them to not make explosions from my weapons suck me INTO them instead of blowing me back. it makes no sense and kills the vibe for me. Especially when explosives was the whole theme to the recent warbond...

one idea for a movement focused support stratagem could be a sort of climbing rope launcher. could be used by teammate to get to higher elevations or allow safe descents of dangerous drops.

Really starting to like this thing, my latest bug loadout is breaker incendiary, laser cannon and jetpack, thanks for the great tips, really useful video!

As a fellow video game movement junky I really like this video.

Some useful tips, thanks!

An exoskeleton stratagem would be great. It would increase or fully remove your stamina and remove any slowing status that caused by the environment.

Great video! Will try this strat

Quick tip to help maximize efficiency: after using a Jump Pack, you can gain enough distance to begin regenerating stamina if you walk immediately afterwards, helpful for that tiny extra distance to get away from bugs/bots when exhausted! P.S: if you are positioned uphill, using the jump pack all the way down will both save you from the fall damage, and gain further distance + stamina regen (Note, jumping to higher platforms/mountains will not have the same result.)

Few things are more satisfying than jumping onto a lone tank and watch as it freaks the hell out that it cant reach you

Here's hoping in coming patches they'll give us a Thunder Hammer to pair with it!

I honestly think they could rework it entirely, giving it Star Wars battlefront jet pack type controls, allowing you to essentially freely fly with it so long as it has charge

ive seen a lot of hate surrounding the jump pack and i genuinely dont understand it. it is really fun being able to jump around and its really good for getting out of sticky situations as well. higher vantage points are fantastic in any combat situation. thanks for these tips, they were very helpful! this video was really well made and i hope it gets more attention

top tier music choice. My MAN

Dude, your videos are so good!

Great info! Thank you👌

The jump pack is so fun. I always use it

So Jetpack, Defender/Breaker, Redeemer, Mech, and Stamina Boost and I'll have a Titanfall build. I can't wait! (5 more levels to mech)

Time to start using the jump pack more

I learned most of these in my first 10hrs when everyone decided the jump-pack was terrible, but I didn't know about picking up items while jumping to carry seaf crayons! New one for my pocket to show off to newbies. :D

I love the jump pack, jump pack + AMR is such a fun combo

A neat upgrade to the jump pack upgrade could be it always tries to use the landing jets when falling from dangerous heights, maybe costing a tiny bit of charge. It would make it useful when climbing around bot bases letting you drop off high places without risking broken legs or ragdolling.

That SEAF tip was good!

5:20 The other way to do this is If you press 4 on keyboard and equip your grenade before jumping, you can change the angle however you wish. That way you don't have to cook it first and can take your time!

This is one stratagem I haven't dabbled in yet, but I think I will now! Those vantage points look like very inviting Sentry spots :)

I hated the jump pack before i saw this video, i will be trying it out again with the tips to see if it changes my mind. Thanks for the info

thanks for doing the research

Jet pack is very fun. I like using it on the lower difficulties, but if I want to collet super samples I need to bring the more serious stratagems.

Love the info, nice vid ❤

Not necessarily movement related, but I think a cloaking backpack would be a cool addition for stealth builds. Something that, when activated, temporarily conceals you from enemy detection.

Wow great vid dude, lots of good info

Those were nice stuffs, thx

Thanks for making content I can watch with my son that isn't full of swearing and "bro-type" language. Hope the channel grows and keep up the good work!

-decreased recharge and increase jumping duration and height Or -dual charge jump pack with same cooldown and jump height but the charges can recharge independently

Jump pack is awesome and deserves a buff I think. My favorite thing to do is just bring offensive stratagems and a jump pack on bug missions. You can jump over chargers and spike resupplies or sentries(anything that drops in a hellpod) on their heads so you don’t even really need a stratagem weapon

Great informative video

Jump pack is really good with the arc thrower too

I've found out (the hard way) that if you somehow get to an insane height and jump-jet off, if you are falling for too long it won't catch your fall and you'll lose control, hitting the ground hard.

Great video! Liked and subscribed!

The feeling of jumping off a tall ass rock down a hill after sniping for your teammates that feels godlike Hunters smacking you out of the air is some hotseshit but it’s funny

Thanks for your science experiments, didn't know you could reload the lmg mid air lol
