The StA-X6 Jetpack

The StA-X6 Jetpack is a user-operated jet engine, developed by Stahl Arms. It is featured in Killzone 3.

Gameplay

The Jetpack can boost into the air (with L1) and slowly float down. If holding L1, players can speed boost by pressing the x button while still in the air. The Jetpack is equipped with a SR3-88 Submachine gun.[1]

Campaign

The Jetpack is first used during half of the mission "Icy Incursion". Sev first uses it to take down the VC25 AA-guns which prevents Rico's Raiders from destroying a rig. Sev is later forced to abandon his Jetpack when one of its "wings" was lodged with shrapnel, causing him to fall mid-flight but managed to land rather safely, while the Jetpack crashes against a wall and explodes.

Multiplayer

In multiplayer, the Jetpack can be found in areas of a few maps. "Turbine Concourse SE-6" has Jetpacks located at most of the spawn points. "Junkyard" features Jetpacks users against Exoskeletons. The DLC map "Tharsis Depot" has jetpacks spawn placed throughout area.
