The '''Jetpack''' is a | The '''Jetpack''' is a mode of transport in [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]] that allows the player to hover, ascend, descend and generally fly around in the air. | ||
==Description== | |||
The Jetpack is a prototype created in the [[Military|US military]] | It allows for directional control with two omnidirectional nozzle-like jets providing thrust. And like any other vehicle it has unlimited fuel. It is indestructible as it is does not really count as a vehicle in that matter and makes the player invulnerable to falling. The Jetpack is unique - it acts like a weapon pickup when not in use, and is activated instantly when the player walks into it and is 'exited' when the vehicle exit button is pressed. It has a considerably low height limit so is not ideal for scaling the higher buildings. | ||
==Story== | |||
The Jetpack is a $60 million prototype created in the [[Military|US military's]] underground lab in [[Area 69]]. [[Carl Johnson]] is dumped in-front of [[Area 69]] and is told to steal the 'Black Project' by [[The Truth]] in the mission [[Black Project]]. Due to the secrecy of the project, [[The Truth]] is the only civilian other than [[Carl Johnson]] to know of its existence. After this mission, the Jetpack will re-spawn at [[Verdant Meadows]]. Carl later uses it to attack a military train in the mission [[Green Goo]]. The Jetpack permanently spawns in [[Verdant Meadows]] after completing the mission [[Black Project]]. | |||

The [[Pistol]], [[TEC 9]], [[Sawn-off Shotgun]], and the [[Micro Uzi|Micro SMG]] can only be used. Oddly all of these weapons can be dual wielded while using the Jetpack, but Carl always uses one hand to control the Jetpack. | ||
