And like any other vehicle it has unlimited fuel. The Jetpack is unique - it acts like a weapon pickup when not in use, is activated instantly when the player walks into it, and is dropped when the vehicle exit button is pressed. It has a much lower altitude limit than other aircraft, so is not ideal for scaling taller buildings. | ||
The jetpack is indestructible as it is does not really count as a vehicle, and it also makes the player invulnerable to falling, crashing into walls or moving vehicles, landing on top of a moving helicopter and other dangers. It can also be fully submerged without damage by diving into water at high speeds (though it will automatically return CJ to the water surface). | |||

*Jetpack can be considered as a vehicle of choice for finding all the possible collectibles in the game (except for oysters since their being in water) as it gives a player the ability of easily spotting any gang tag, snapshot (when they are flickering at night) or horseshoe from every angle possible. | |||
