jump pack, great vs automatons? (lemux.minnix.dev)

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?

Every time I see a diver jetpack off into the distance I think, "damn, I wish I had a jetpack". But every time I pick my stratagems I think the same thing, "I should bring something more useful."

It would be fun if they had a rare chance of appearing at POIs, I think that big objective with the black hole jetpacks was the most time for many players using a jetpack

Those dark matter jetpacks were quite fun. Lots of friendly fire. o7

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

It's great. Take counterdiligence rifle, jump on top of a tall structure and click on heads. The best part about it is that certain structures, you dont even have to worry about berserkers mobbing you. If they can't reach they just stand there waiting.

If you want to do this, I recommend taking one of the stealth armors so enemies dont see you as easily
