ELEX – Jetpack Tutorial Guide
/When it comes down to exploring the world of Elex, your jetpacks come in really handy. Using the jetpack isn’t very hard, but there are some tips lots of people don’t know about. Here are some of them;
Basic Usage
Double jump (space) to use your jetpack. You will boost as long as you hold the second space down.
“Red Boost”
When your boost reaches the red boost zone, you will need to press space once more to activate the last bit of boost.
Use your jetpack to stop taking fall damage
This is a really basic usage of your jetpack that you have to make use of whenever you jump off high cliffs, buildings or towers. When you are not entirely sure if you will take falling damage, just use the jetpack to be safe. Especially in the desert are a lot of moderately high cliffs that will make you take damage. Notice: It is enough to make a short press on space right before you would land! You don’t need to use more boost when you fall further.
Use your jetpack to travel faster
Often, it is faster to teleport up to something and get to your desired quest point by falling and denying the damage by tapping your boost.
Use your jetpack in combat
In combat, you might find kiting with a bow or another ranged weapon easier, when you can make distance with your jetpack. Be aware that a lot of creatures and enemies will have ranged attacks though!
Use the jetpack to flee
Well, it certainly helps in some situations to flee, if you can get on cliffs or sth. else.
Use your jetpack to explore properly
There are a lot of ceilings you can jump on or towers with jump “riddles”. Pretty much everything is reachable vertically and you will almost every time find nice loot waiting for you on top of towers etc. Or you can scan the area at the very least. Just make sure you use the quick save (F5 default button), before attempting difficult jumps as you will often find yourself killed otherwise.
Use your jetpack to locate teleporters
The only thing that makes you travel faster is teleporters. They are often around important locations, but sometimes still a bit tricky to find. In the open area, you can find teleporters by getting onto high things as shown in the screenshot.
