Back when the Raju could survive minigun fire for over 5k rounds, I witnessed a guy going around just killing anyone they saw until someone pulled out a thruster and I thought "what a joke" until he went right up on the jet somehow near maze Bank tower and flatlined the Raju when previously people with Lasers and akulas couldn't touch him. I knew from that moment something was great about the thrust but never checked what.
There is factors there though bro, it will only possibly serve you well when you have the skill set, it will also serve you better when the player you are up against isn't too clued up. I wouldn't wanna go up against anyone who is a really good player in a jet or something or even a mk2 Oppressor with one of these things I would rather use a 4 wheeled vehicle with Imani Tech before I get into a Jet pack.
@@Domevic is that a joke? Thought everyone knew about the nerf? From what I remember it's all the jets with a cannon both with power output and by how rapid they can throw lead down range. They did the same with Cayo Perico twice, payphone hits and whatever else they've decided to take away from us later on down the line. Rockstar has a hard on for giving us shit and then at a later date taking it away again.
@@TheDemonGamerOfFleetStreet Well he sad that before the raiyu could survival almost everything so I was asking if he got nerfed, asides the funny cannons which you can still use in the savage
IMPORTANT: This thruster (maxed out) will NOT descend while moving forward (like the regular truster) and is way faster......I say this so those who only want the full spec thruster DONT GET SCAMMED buying the Avenger that brings one on board....because that one CANNOT be modified. And no....the modified thruster cannot be stored in the Avenger.
Some more tips for the audience: You can do a vertical strafe by rocking the thruster back and forth. This is best used against railguns and people who are a crackshot with the sniper. Always fly low and close to buildings. Limits where people can shoot at you from and keeps you safe from planes/jets trying to chop you up or get guns on. Keep your snacks and armor topped up. Not being stuck at half health is important when making passes on people in auto aim lobbies.
The "dodging" capabilties of the Thruster allows it to actually genuinely compete with several aircrafts. It's the equivalent of jets flying in circles. And the strafe mode makes it a heli killer for all but the most agile of them. It's also very useful for dodging cannons, and machine guns of jets. The fact they have to slow down so much to have a chance at hitting you means your missiles have a chance to hit them as they pass too. Versatile little thing.
Been using this since it first got released and figured this out and always always got called a hacker because rockets wouldn’t blow me up so many people are clueless to this and think it’s just cumbersome and slow but it’s great
I remember actively holding both L1 and R1 (LB and RB) and just flying foward long enough to waste mk2 missiles and even deluxo missiles. I find both bumpers to be very agile and good for turning with hoving with a almost like helicopter type of movement.
Got more balls than me I tell you that for nothing I can't stand the machine and I seldom use it also its not my favorite machine in the game but if you can use it then thats great. I would rather be on the ground in something armoured against that lot than be in that thing but having said that theres two things I've learnt today, 1 is that the Jetpack has jet boost and the other is the rota blades. I didn't know that you cant be chopped up.
I use helicopters and mk2 to free aim player but recently tried jetpack, i was in shock how easy it was to free aim players with and dodge all the missils 💀☠️
If you'd like to run it against someone who *isn't* a homing missile reliant noob, I'm down. I can go on ground, use any type of aircraft or any type of ground vehicle. The one surety is I'll quickly show you exactly how Op it is not 😅
-To take me out with an aircraft you'll either have to hit me with a free-aim missile, or shoot me with the explosive cannons. And this would be very hard considering the jetpack is a tiny target. -I can pretty much take most ground vehicles that aren't super armored. Since the thruster doesn't have infinite missiles, But you probably wouldn't be able to kill me either. -On ground if your good at sniping you might be able to shoot me off, but you would also have to avoid my missiles while you're aiming. and auto-aim is really only a theat if I get too close.
@@YourAverageBen I'm well aware of the how's and why's as to countering the thruster from each and every scenario you've just listed, I just enjoy a good battle
It's not too hard. Just be prepared for sneaky missiles, use chaff accordingly, and time your missiles. Also fire some lock-on missiles at them when they run. Your missiles will have more time to properly align and hit the toreador. I'm also working on a video that will cover the thruster in depth.
1. Yes it's possible to get sniped but the thruster is a very small target, so it's pretty hard. 2. Explosive ammo can be a problem, but I don't run into it very often, as most people just use a normal mk2 sniper. 3. I have NEVER EVER been taken off my thruster by a free aim missile. Since it's almost impossible to line up a shot with a rocket. 4. Yes, Rocket tracking is bad, but that doesn't mean they're useless. I can consistently take out toreadors and scramjets with them. You just need to time your shots right. 5. Thruster is WAY better for killing players on ground. imo it's actually better than the scramjet when it comes to attacking ground players. 6. Nothing can dodge the orb except the upside down mk2, So of course it can be killed by it
Yea, there's definitely ways to kill it, but it all depends of the skill of your opponent. A good player can probably snipe me off my thruster consistently, but most can't. BUT there's techniques to make it harder to be sniped off.
The explosive sniper is definitely a possible counter. In my testing I've found that the jetpack with somebody in it will take 5 e-rounds to explode. while the player on the jetpack will die only on the 2nd shot. BUT if they use snacks to get back up to full health after each shot, you'll have to hit the jetpack 5 times with E-rounds to take it down.
It all depends on your skill level. I'm pretty good with free aiming jets so I will probably win. But most times when your going up against very small air vehicles (mk2, mk1, etc) it's usually hard to free-aim them, but it's also very hard to be killed yourself since lock-on missiles aren't really a problem to the thruster. So with the smaller air vehicles its usually a draw between the two unless you get a lucky missile kill. Aircraft with explosive cannons aren't a super big problem either since the thruster is a very small and fast target. But usually I can sometimes psych-out the average pilot by firing missiles right when they make their passes, which throws off their aim. I'm also occasionally firing homing missiles to prevent them from lining up shots. It also forces them to fly in a circle to avoid the missile, which makes it waaay easier to line up, and connect a free-aim missile. So I disagree.
Another tip: you can juke oppressor mk2s with the thrusters chaff. Use chaff when they’re spamming you. Listen for when the lock on ends, then just stop with the strafe controls and either fire at them or spin 180° and keep running 😂😂
You forgot to mention it runs out of missiles quickly and it blows up with 1 explosion
Its even faster than mk2 opressor
Its like the only vehicle with weapons you can activate passive mode in
Not true, the Paragon R armored is another one
@@shy7155 you are right i forgot about it
same with all "armored" cars like the ballers

You can get pretty good on any vehicle you use alot, you right on in the jet pack bro damn
Interesting and nice music too
That was great! One of my go-to vehicles 😎 nothing more satisfying than a mk2 wasting all it's rockets on you 😅
Ah, the good old jetpack. Immune to missiles when attacked from behind. Just like old times
dog i did not know that u made vids but this is goated!
Whenever I see someone use this they’re banging into walls it’s funny 😂 BUT THIS VIDEO was cool asf W tutorial
I like the Deluxo more,but now i know why my friend love this thing xD

If that noob at the start only knew how 2 fire his cannons
interesting, another vehicle made meta 👀

I haven't played on PC for a long time, but try holding A & D.
Thanks. I learnee a lot I didn't know about this thing.
I have only been playing GTA online for about 4 months, but I am surprised I have yet to see it being used.
What i rly dont like abt it it has one of the worst types of missiles that are not spammable and they are limited to 30 missiles
Damn bro, this is InjectMyTren, came across this vid randomly. U got a sub.

another good thing is that you can't sell it so you're pretty much stuck with it unless you remove it from the felicity

It’s good when you aren’t the main target.
Why do you keep turning homing on and off at the end? Isn't that hella distracting as it removes the hit box when it autolocks?
ADHD lol
A decent pilot lazer will destroy the jetpack so quick

The reason the jetpack is useless is because it's a helicopter with zero protection for the pilot. Probably the easiest vehicle to snipe in the game.

And i was just thinking about the first real fighting vehicle i should get
Is the avenger trhuster the same? I don't use it usually but mine is without rockets
No, the avenger thruster can't be equipped with countermeasures, JATO, or missiles. However it still can dodge missiles like the regular thruster.
Hey good video, thruster is a underrated and a good vehicle but the missiles are not good its kind of hard to kill a player with these missiles
Practice more
I just downed one like last week with one shot from the Khanjali
