[@nathantagg2691]

Getting good with the jump pack means you can be safe a lot more often than without it. It can be used offensively and defensively as seen in this gameplay. It can be used to quickly take care of POI's, jump in to take pressure off allies, retrieve dropped samples, jump over to a terminal / other task, etc. It can be used to blitz bases with a surprise 500kg or a hell bomb to take out a nest or stratagem blocker. And most importantly, its super fun to use. I will never care what the meta says to use, the jump pack is based.

My problem with it is how short and low the jump is. I found the most useful things were for getting down from heights safely and getting out of swarms. But I can generally avoid those problems anyway, so I never got much use out of it. I stick with the backpack shield since it gives a big defensive boost and passively. Although it is fun jumping around with the jetpack.

The jump pack is so useful when running as a support sniper/recon role. Like Trying to defend an area but is cluttered, bottlenecked or even lack view angles from which enemy patrols may surprise your team. Spotting POIs from a distance and patrols to avoid. Providing sniper cover from high places where going on foot isn't possible Useful get away against a bile titan or hulk attack. Saved my ass multiple times.

To be fair, I take it this same loadout, almost every mission 😂 (save for defense/holdout missions, of course). I'll swap the eagle between 500kg & the normal airstrike, and the 4th stratagem varies from Gatlin/Mortar Sentry for holding out at those longer objectives or Orbital Railcannon strike when playing against bots.

Jump Pack and new Eruptor rifle is great sniper combo if terrain allows you to get high enough

[@Phier554]

No, we just know its fun but less useful than a lot of other things that can fill that slot. Supply pack would be 8 stims 8 grenades 8 reloads. Thats going to be more valuable than a jump pack to most people. There are times I'd like the jump pack, but those are 1=2 per mission tops. Or lets take the ability to bring in a turret or eagle or orbital. Those will be of more value to not only you but the team than getting on some rock and shooting down. I'll take in a lot of load outs, even the jump pack for fun but that doesn't make it a good choice in most circumstances.

​@@Phier554 that and the shield gen is honestly so good, even after the nerf. Those spores that can fling you when shot? No longer effect you while the shield is up. Those bug "mines" that slow you down when you go over them? Also no longer effect you, and you can tank a full on 500kg bomb right in front of you. Of course this is all so long as the shields active.

[@thenamesgames6393]

Fluent gameplay. You have much greater trigger discipline and a sense of timing than I do, for example. I tend to try and just keep my weaponry busy, always be laying down fire where-ever I can, and especially when dealing with chargers, shoot them in the butt with the primary instead of kiting them around effectively like you. I think the biggest difference however, is how you dynamically advance and retreat about the map, using that jump pack to find advantages and shortcuts impossible to find by foot. While I always try to stand my ground, and minimally juggle about, attempting to meet the bug waves head on with as much firepower as possible. And from this footage, its pretty clear which approach yields better results and less helldiver deaths

[@magicbeans1640]

That was incredibly generous and very much appreciated. Thank you very much! ❤️ Others would say otherwise about my gameplay, but I honestly couldn't care less. Most important thing to me is that I'm having fun and I damn sure was during this mission!

I've gotten x202 on Helldive running the Guard Dog rover--and, to be frank, I consider it the best backpack. The problem is, four of those bozos flying around is a LOT of room for friendly fire. Me and my mates always go Helldive and everyone wants Rover, so I've been running jetpack to reduce friendly fire. It's been amazing. I seriously think every team should have a hyper-maneuverable roamer to take care of specific tasks, and that's enabled by jetpack

Is your opinion still the same after the nerf? Not hating or anything, genuine curiosity on my end. I used the Rover alot too like for Eradicate missions, but I have not touched it since the 30% dmg nerf because I'm afraid it's not as good anymore.

[@crackersphdinwumbology2831]

@magicbeans1640 The damage for the rover is based on the LAS-6. The LAS had a 20% damage buff, and so the nerf is by and large just an offset to keep it in balance. I run it all the time still, and unless they fix its infinite energy bug it's a solid Frontline option.

I adore the Jump pack. Ik there are some options like the guard dogs that just make sense to pick but i also like to avoid friendly fire if i can and those are notorious for it. A lot of people feel like it doesnt send you far enough forward but they kinda dont understand the nuances with it and that there are different jumps you can do and what its actually good for, which is clearing vertical and giving options on approaches you otherwise wouldnt have. Its also very good for stealthing surpisingly as it allows enough burst of speed to just make the bots and bugs not see you. Ive cleared out so many bot fabs where they didnt even know i was there until the fabs were already gone and without using my stratagems which i can then save for bigger bases or more priority targets like tanks, hulks, bile titans, and chargers

[@kamikeserpentail3778]

[@valfalos997]

Interesting point ngl. But I still prefer the Autocannon which already fills my backpack slot and also I am still not convinced its worth the strategem slot. I am debating however if there can be 4 player comps where everyone brings a weapon for themselves and maybe stuff like Sentries, Orbitals, Eagle Strikes or even Mechs and only one person brings a backpack slot and slowly over the mission distributes them across the team. Possibly even only one person bringing a backpack and only one other person bringing a support weapon and slowly handing them out to everyone while you just clear stuff using sentries and/or strategems/mechs. That would free up alot of Strategem Slots on the whole team and only really affect the first 10-15 minutes of the mission if even.

Autocannon is also incredibly good. 😊

[@Esoteric-Sternbergism]

@@WeeWeeJumbo okay. 🗿

[@nathantagg2691]

This is me except sometimes I still take jump pack on bots because I can't help myself

[@Esoteric-Sternbergism]

@@nathantagg2691 big jump = fun. I understand

[@kamikeserpentail3778]

​@@nathantagg2691I take it frequently against bots because their bases are often so much easier to get into from behind. And it's just overall good.

[@alvaroquinterosaguilera2822]

that jump in was absolutely unfair, nice work helldiver

[@suplex57]

cant wait till i get jet pack. its gonna open my playing style

[@MeepMeep88]

It's a bit disappointing and uneventful.

[@desogaming3251]

E1 was collateral damage to that 124 + E1 kill explosion 😂😂😂

[@fonsalvarado]

thios felt like a full movie of Boba Fett

[@djc2526]

That is the greatest HD2 clip I have ever seen! Unreal!

[@JellyPoP91]

Escalated the situation and leave the mess to your teammate.

[@kennethrobinson5111]

Now he can blame them for not having jump packs as well

[@Heroesworkshop]

7:45 Cinematic af

[@CSSuser]

Yeah and you killed your teammate with that hellbomb too.

[@magicbeans1640]

I noticed immediately, mentioned it in the description too. Mourned the loss the entire time at re-education camp.

[@Wreck_RS]

1 diver for 124 bugs is a good trade

[@josh___something]

I don't know what you're talking about, Helldivers are an elite fighting force. There have been 0 cases of friendly fire ever reported to the public, and only tactical heroic sacrifices from large ordinance.

[@Samurai-no4wu]

I helldiver to secure billions democracy freedom is worth it

[@CSSuser]

So it's now "His/Her body for Super Earth"? :P

[@HarmlessComment]

I love the jump pack, it keeps me alive and I've had a lot of cool evacuation moments because of it 😂

[@lordsirmoist1594]

nah its a waste of a stratagem slot you can choose something better and simply not putting urself in bad situations which u have to then escape

[@PissPoor-w1c]

youre such a hater bro, obviously less than 100 hour player shit talking

[@DarrylDownBad]

Its goated on blitz mission

[@artic9509]

Every support gun and backpack is a waste of a stratagem slot, simply don't put urself in a situation where u need a support gun or baggie.

[@fourswords77]

i see we are totally ignoring the elevated position that was only able to be reached due to the jump pack

[@acemator569]

its okay to have an opinion, even if its wrong :)

[@ЖЮЖ]

Good democracy spreading helldiver a medal of honour is on its way

[@panwasap7]

Last jump was like a a very cinematic Rayman level

[@thomas_jupiter]

This was an absolute joy to watch.

[@Pineapplehead81]

The best feeling is Jetpacking into a bot base, grenading the fabricators and jetting out before they even realise youre there!

[@DannoHung]

Casually snapping Charger ankles like celery stalks.

[@Tlusion22]

That was a DAMN MOVIE my boy. All I needed was some popcorn

[@ThePeanutMann]

I don't get the hate for the jump pack, it's so good especially with the quasar cannon. The jump pack and quasar cannon are so versatile they can be used on both fronts effectively

[@magicbeans1640]

Ignore the Haters. Use whatever you want and have fun while doing so!

[@ProdigyX19]

I always feel a bit empty when i dont bring my jet pack.

[@av6728]

I dismissed the jump pack until this video. Update: after many missions with the jump pack I have reached the conclusion that I suck with the jump pack.

Keep practicing, make Eagle 1 proud. 🫡🫡🫡🦅🦅🦅

[@outdoorsvoyage6993]

Everyone talks about the hellbomb, can we talk about this hero are using both the Jet-pack AND the revovler? 10/10 for style. This is Peak Helldivers.

Anything that gives you additional mobility is S tier in any game.

Him: *jumps canyons with jump pack over raging fires and ravenous Terminids to safely extract* Me: *jumps and uses all of the packs fuel and lands three steps from where he started. Dies to Charger* 😑

[@mattyice2099]

If I don't see at least 2 bile titans stomping around the map at any time i'm not impressed. Helldive only baby!

[@sethraelthebard5459]

A special kind of crazy. Jump Troopers for the win! TO THE SKIES!!!!

[@viaredzagames]

Been rocking the jetpack since Helldiver 1 . This is the way.

[@BigPapiMNDZ]

I love my jet pack. The potential for cool plays is endless . Wish the cool down was lowered a tad but it’s still really good

[@RealAp6ahob]

Every level 9 mission is like a movie

[@GamingPIPI]

I love that so many builds can be goat. I’m running supply pack with medic armor

[@kev-othegamer]

Amazing gameplay, I swear when I use the jump pack it don't work like this.🤣

[@SaxophonistJamalRiley]

This cat is cold with jump pack

[@dovy6666]

that last jump is superb

[@eironyy]

I FORGOT PS PLAYERS CAN LITERALLY ACCESS STRATAGEM MENU WHILE WALKING OR RUNNING. WE PC PLAYERS CAN'T
