jump pack, great vs automatons? (lemux.minnix.dev)

to me i've always thought of the jump pack as a kind of gag stratagem, don't get me wrong i love using it, but it seems outclassed by almost everything else you could bring. one area where it does shine is in automaton missions, where you often need to get into a base and call down a hellbomb. the jump pack is great at skipping past the walls surrounding automaton bases, and getting right to the objective. at least a few times, i've used this strategy to great effect. i've seen a few clips of helldivers using it to jump onto factory striders and tanks, to then deliver stratagems directly to these heavy targets. personally, i'm not skilled (or brave!) enough to attempt this, but it sure looked cool.

anyway, what do you think about the jump pack, and what ways are you using it to spread democracy?

I wish it was more consistent, like I would hop around like a bunny (like the dark troopers in the original SW Battlefront)

I do appreciate when we get extra stratagems to try out for some MO, because it let's us try different ones without committing to it during the mission.

Which got me hooked on the airburst rockets. Its like a little party pack on my back!
