If you’re currently playing Slime Rancher 2 and previously finished the first game, you might remember using the Jetpack. It’s one of the most useful equipment items in the game, allowing you to fly over gaps and terrain normally inaccessible with just your legs. Whether you’re trying to get to a new region or make your travels a bit easier, you’ll want to get this upgrade at some point. If you’re interested in learning more, continue reading to learn how to unlock the Jetpack in Slime Rancher 2.
How to Unlock the Jetpack in Slime Rancher 2
To unlock the Jetpack in Slime Rancher 2, you’ll have to head down into the Laboratory and access the Fabricator. To do this, go toward the Plort Market in the Conservatory and turn left towards the staircase. Head down the stairs and follow the tunnel to find the Fabricator and Refinery. While you’ll need the Refinery later, our focus is on the Fabricator for now.

From here, you’ll find the Jetpack upgrade under “Upgrades”. However, you can’t unlock it for free. In fact, not only must you pay Newbucks for the Jetpack, but you’ll also need plorts and a third resource. Below is the full list of materials necessary to get the Jetpack:
- Newbucks x450
- Phosphor Plort x10
- Radiant Ore x10
Once you have each resource, toss the plorts and ore into the Refinery and get the Jetpack through the Fabricator! Better yet, you can also upgrade your energy from here, so you can travel greater distances with the pack.
Slime Rancher 2 is available in Early Access on PC and Xbox Series X/S through Steam and Game Pass. If you’re interested in learning more about the game, check out How to Increase FPS in Slime Rancher 2, All Gordo Slime Locations and our Map Data Node Locations Guide.
