How to Get a Jetpack in GTA: San Andreas (Xbox 360 / Any Platform)

There is no jetpack in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas on any platform.

The "Jetpack" is a persistent urban legend, often confused with:

• The Hydra (VTOL Jet): Unlocked at Verdant Meadows after mission "Vertical Bird". Flies like a plane, hovers like a heli. Not a backpack.
• GTA Vice City Stories (PSP/PS2): Has a Jetpack cheat (UP, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT, L1, L2, R1, R2, UP, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT).
• GTA V / Online: Thruster (jetpack) added in Doomsday Heist update.
• PC Mods: SA Jetpack Mod (CLEO script) adds a wearable jetpack. Not on console.

What You *Can* Fly in SA (Xbox 360 / PS3 / PC / Mobile)

• Hydra (Verdant Meadows, post-"Vertical Bird").
• Hunter (Attack heli, Fort Baxter / N.O.E. completion).
• Leviathan (Heavy cargo heli, Las Venturas Airport).
• Rustler / Stuntplane / Cropduster / Dodo / Beagle / Shamal / Nevada / AT-400 (Airports).
• Vortex (Hovercraft, Bayside Marina).

No backpack jetpack exists in San Andreas. Enjoy the Hydra!
