JET BRIGADE
The Automatons have deployed a series of specialized models on this planet. Prepare to face bots upgraded with stolen Jump Pack technology.
TACTICAL BRIEF
• The Jet Brigade’s mobility compensates for the traditional Automaton weakness: slow movement. Units can leap great distances without warning and at high speed.
• They can evade stratagems such as the Eagle 500kg Bomb or Orbital Precision Strike by jumping clear before impact.
• Exploding jump packs are volatile and can trigger chain reactions in groups. Fighting them at close range is risky, as a single kill may immolate nearby Helldivers.
• Jump packs are weaker than the units wearing them and are particularly vulnerable to explosive damage from the front. Hulks, while extremely durable, have been observed exploding from a single shot from weapons not traditionally known for armor piercing capability, such as the RL-77 Airburst Rocket Launcher due to the explosive force of their jump packs.
