The Jetpack is a jet-powered or rocket-powered device introduced in Metal Slug 3.
Information[]
The Jetpack is a wearable device which allows the user to fly. It is only used on certain sky areas of the series; otherwise, the pilot uses the Parachute instead. Every Air Vehicle or Astro Slug comes with a spare Jetpack for emergencies, in case the Slug has sustained heavy damage that the pilot has to eject and safely fly in the air or maneuver in space.
The player wearing the Jetpack can only fire horizontally in the air or vertically in space. Their secondary weapons also change: a homing missile in the air and an explosive canister thrown forwards in space.
In Other Games[]
Jetpack Joyride[]
The Heavy Machine Gun, Rocket Launcher, Flame Shot, and the Tetsuyuki's laser cannon have been modified to function as jetpacks. The vehicles use the weapon's infinite ammo as propulsion which can hurt the walking scientists. The jetpacks operate similar to the Drop Pack in which the player only flies upwards by holding the touch screen and falls once let go.
Metal Slug: Awakening[]
The Jetpack is an item obtained by a POW. The player is able to turn around and aim in multiple directions.
