The Jetpack is a movement utility, allowing the player to quickly get around the terrain unhindered. It has two thrusters, one to push the worm upwards, and another to direct the worm left or right. It has 30 fuel, which is drained at 6/sec per thruster, and the Jetpack will instantly be deactivated once fuel runs out or the turn ends. While using the Jetpack, the worm will fall at a slower rate than normal, even if no thrusters are used, and won't suffer from any fall damage. Weapons can be dropped while using the Jetpack, after which the fuel is ignored and the Jetpack will last until the retreat time ends.

Cheats
