High on Lifefeatures a surprisingly robust system of gadgets and abilities that upgrade the player on a constant basis. Using these advancements through progress givesHigh on Lifeits signature play style that turns it into a complex gameplay sandbox to compliment its scripted zaniness.
The jetpack is a vital tool that will elevate the gameplay to its natural height. Spaces that were previously unreachable are now up for grabs, and combat gets a complete overhaul as the player hovers above enemies and crushes them from new angles. Knowing where and when to get the jetpack is essential toupgrading the bounty hunter.

How to Get the Jetpack
To obtain the jetpack, the player must first complete three bounties. 9-Torg, Krubis, and Douglas must all be defeated with their bounties collected from the Bounty 5000 machine in the living room. Once the third bounty has been collected, use the Bounty 5000 to speak with Mayor Clugg in his office. He’ll give access to the Human Haven which isvital for finding another in-game secret later on. For now, head back home where Gene will direct the player to head to the Pawn Shop in Blim to obtain a jetpack.
The Blim City Pawn Shop should be familiar to the player by now. Head right and up the stairs and head straight for the counter directly in front of the entrance to the shop. The jetpack is available for purchase costing 999 pesos. It’s unfortunately on back order, so the player will need to return home before it can be used.
Gene will tell the bounty hunterto get some much-needed rest. Go up to the bedroom and interact with the bed to begin a short cutscene. Upon waking up, the player will find themselves on the roof with the jetpack readily installed. Time to test it out over the streets of Blim City.
The jetpack runs on a fuel gauge similar to the dodge unit. The meter will appear only when the fuel is being used. It has a relatively quick recharge time, but it is unfortunately limited in terms of height and distance (probably for the best so the bounty hunter doesn’t just fly right into space and get themselves killed).
Now that the jetpack has been obtained,it may be worthwhile to head back through areasand access lugloxes that were previously out of reach. Use the Bounty 5000 to revisit planets or select the next bounty where the jetpack will be essential to completing the task ahead.
