Jetpack

The Jetpack is a Miscellaneous Item in Fortnite: Battle Royale. It was introduced in Season 4.

Functionality
The Jetpack takes up a place in the Player's inventory and does not need to be held in order to be used. When the player holds the Jump Button or the Aim Down Sight Button, the Jetpack activates and allows them to fly upwards slowly, or in the case of falling, counter the downwards movement. After a short period of time, the Jetpack will stop providing thrust, and turn off. It does not negate fall damage.

The Jetpack has limited fuel, meaning that once it is entirely depleted, the Jetpack is removed from the inventory. The Fuel cannot be replenished.

The Player can only have one Jetpack at a time in their inventory. Finding a second Jetpack will replace the currently equipped one with the one found.

Stats
The Jetpack has 100 fuel per flight which lasts 10 seconds. It takes 6 seconds to reach 100 fuel again. It has an overall fuel of roughly 600.

Obtained
From when it was last available in Season 9

Strategy Guide

 * The Jetpack can be used to negate fall damage, as its lift can counteract the momentum of falling.
 * It is ideal to fight someone who building upwards when you have a Jetpack, as you can fly up to their build with minimal effort.
 * The Jetpack does not negate fall damage so it is very easy to ignore fuel levels and die of fall damage.
 * You cannot aim down sights whilst using the Jetpack, so weapons with good hip fire accuracy are encouraged, such as shotguns.

Season 4

 * Content Update v4.20: Added the Jetpack in rarity.
 * Update v4.40: Vaulted the Jetpack.

Season 9

 * The Final Showdown: The Jetpack was temporarily unvaulted after the event.
 * Update v9.41: Vaulted the Jetpack.

Trivia

 * It is one of the five Jetpacks in the game, the others being Stark Industries Jetpack, Chitauri Jetpack, The Mandalorian's Jetpack and Alien Jetpack.
 * The Jetpack was designed to be a Limited Time item, hence why it was vaulted very shortly after its inclusion.
 * The Jetpack was supposed to be added in February 2018, 3 months before its later release date. It was delayed due to a 'design flaw'.
 * The inclusion of the Jetpack was muddled as the developers accidentally added the Eye Of The Storm Tracker instead, vaulting that item after 30 minutes and replacing it with the Jetpack.
