In Fallout 76, the jetpack is a highly sought-after mod that can be equipped on certain armor pieces, including Power Armor and specific non-Power Armor sets like the Secret Service and Brotherhood Recon armor. This article will guide you through obtaining and crafting jetpacks for both Power Armor and regular armor.
Types of Jetpacks
Power Armor Jetpacks: These are mods for the torso of various Power Armor types, such as the T-45, T-51, T-60, X-01, Hellcat, and Ultracite. The Excavator Power Armor does not support jetpacks.
Non-Power Armor Jetpacks: These are available for the Secret Service and Brotherhood Recon armor.
Obtaining Jetpack Plans
To craft a jetpack, you first need to acquire the appropriate plan. Plans can be found through various means, such as completing quests, purchasing from vendors, or trading with other players. For Power Armor jetpacks, you must have the specific plan for the type of Power Armor you are using (e.g., T-45 or X-01).
Crafting Materials
To craft a Power Armor jetpack, you will need the following materials:
Adhesive: 17 units
Aluminum: 17 units
Asbestos: 14 units
Nuclear Material: 9 units
Stable Cobalt Flux: 5 units
Stable Violet Flux: 5 units
For non-Power Armor jetpacks, the materials required include various stable fluxes, but the exact composition may vary depending on the armor type.
In Fallout 76, acquiring a jetpack requires careful resource management, including saving up Fallout 76 caps to purchase necessary materials or plans from vendors. If you can't find what you need, trading with other players or completing certain quests can be effective alternatives. Managing your inventory efficiently ensures that you have enough caps for everything from crafting jetpacks to equipping them on your Power Armor or non-Power Armor sets.

Power Armor Jetpacks:
Ensure you have the correct Power Armor torso (e.g., T-45 or X-01).
Learn the jetpack plan for your Power Armor type.

Equip the jetpack mod on the chest piece.
Tips and Tricks
Stacking with Mutations: Jetpacks can stack with mutations like the Marsupial serum, allowing for enhanced jumping and flying capabilities.
AP Management: Jetpacks consume Action Points (AP), so managing AP replenishment is crucial for extended use.
Server Hopping: Some players report success in finding rare mods like jetpacks by server hopping, though this method is not guaranteed.
Acquiring a jetpack in Fallout 76 can significantly enhance your gameplay experience, offering greater mobility and versatility. Whether you're using Power Armor or non-Power Armor, understanding how to obtain and craft jetpacks is essential for maximizing your character's potential.
