to me i’ve always thought of the jump pack as a kind of gag stratagem, don’t get me wrong i love using it, but it seems outclassed by almost everything else you could bring. one area where it does shine is in automaton missions, where you often need to get into a base and call down a hellbomb. the jump pack is great at skipping past the walls surrounding automaton bases, and getting right to the objective. at least a few times, i’ve used this strategy to great effect. i’ve seen a few clips of helldivers using it to jump onto factory striders and tanks, to then deliver stratagems directly to these heavy targets. personally, i’m not skilled (or brave!) enough to attempt this, but it sure looked cool.
anyway, what do you think about the jump pack, and what ways are you using it to spread democracy?
I used to constantly run the jetpack with heavy armor and a laswr cannon.
I would jump in a base as my friends were circling a base, cut down the chaff around the entrance, switch to scorcher and take a priority target.
Worked really well but damn those rocket troops… They normally had the precision of a storm trooper, but they would curiously snipe me mid-flight with a missile to the chest and ragdoll me out of the base
