The most important class, Astronauts aren’t that special when you first unlock them. However, play through the Story Mode and you’ll upgrade all Astronaut disguises to include a jetpack. Nothing is better than a jetpack in LEGO City. Nothing. Jetpacks enable you to perform Astronaut boosts, which get you up to platforms you couldn’t otherwise reach. And, in special spots, you can perform Jet Pack Hovers, which fly you across great distances. The Astronaut group includes a Rex Fury disguise, perhaps one of the best disguises among all of those in the LEGO City Undercover collection.
There are eight classes in LEGO City Undercover: Civilian, Police, Robber, Miner, Astronaut, Farmer, Fireman, and Construction. Below is an excerpt from the official LEGO City Undercover guide detailing the disguises found in the Astronaut class:
Number of Disguises: 17
Space may be the final frontier, but these brave men and women will have to settle for exploring LEGO City!
Abilities
- Teleport: Astronauts can use transport pads to teleport over long distances.
- Beam-in Support: By inputting a simple color sequence, astronauts can activate space crates that beam in useful materials.
- Jetpack Jump: Astronauts can boost around with their jetpacks, traveling higher and farther than normal jumps would take them. Activate jetpack symbols, then boost through the rings to travel even farther!
- Raise the Flag: Throughout LEGO City, there are places where only an astronaut dare tread. By raising a flag at these towering heights, Chase can lay claim to part of the city—and earn a gold brick in the process!
Astronauts won’t sport jetpacks until you unlock this ability during Story mode.
