Getting a jetpack in Fallout 76 is a straightforward process centered around crafting. According to the provided information, the only way to acquire a jetpack is by learning its plan and crafting it on a PA Station or Workbench.
The jetpack itself is not an item you find in the world as a complete piece. Instead, it's a specialized modification that you attach to either Power Armor or certain standard armor torsos.
Understanding the Jetpack
- What it is: An attachment for Power Armor and specific Armor Torsos.
- What it does: Allows you to temporarily float or fly upwards.
- Cost: Consumes Action Points (AP) or Fusion Core power while in use.
The Path to Getting One
The essential steps involve acquiring the plan for the jetpack modification and then using that plan at a crafting station.
- Acquire the Plan: You must first find or purchase the specific plan for the jetpack mod compatible with your armor type (either Power Armor or a specific armor set like Secret Service Armor). These plans are typically obtained from:
- Specific vendors in the game, often tied to reputation or quest progression (e.g., Regs in Vault 79, Minerva).
- Completing certain challenging events or quests.
- Rare drops from enemies or containers.
- Trading with other players.
- Learn the Plan: Once you have the plan item in your inventory, use it to permanently learn the crafting recipe for the jetpack mod.
- Gather Materials: Crafting the jetpack requires various junk components found throughout the wasteland. The exact materials needed will be listed once you view the crafting recipe at a station.
- Craft the Jetpack: Go to the appropriate crafting station:
- Use a Power Armor Station to craft a jetpack mod for your Power Armor torso.
- Use a Workbench (like an Armor Workbench) to craft a jetpack mod for standard armor torsos that support it.
- Attach the Mod: Once crafted, the jetpack mod will appear in your inventory. You can then apply it to a compatible Power Armor torso piece or standard armor torso at the respective crafting station.
By following these steps, starting with learning its plan and crafting it on a PA Station or Workbench, you will successfully obtain a jetpack modification for your armor in Fallout 76.
