RyuNova Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 With the recent changes to Passive Mode and the MkII nerf the Thruster has moved very quickly up the list of best vehicles to own. Its one of the few vehicles that can still go Passive while weaponised, it has the normal vehicle cool down timer instead of the five minutes the MkII now has and its small and agile enough for all your grinding needs. xXxKAMIKAZExXx, toguraum and Aghakhi 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well to be honest I never liked the Opressor Mk. II, so buying this was kind of the obvious choice. A flying jet hoverbike is way more implausible than the kind of Jetpack the Thruster tries to be in my opinion, and that's before thinking about the weapons already. I won't regret not buying the Mk. II over this, aside from the aforementioned advantages it's plenty fast and once you get the hang of it you can squeeze it almost anywhere in the game, since it's barely larger than a person. The limited rockets are my only complaint, given their lame tracking and how exposed you are in the Thruster against firearms there's no reason whatsoever for that xXxKAMIKAZExXx 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyuNova Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 After the MkII missile nerf and ability to do the majority of stuff in Invite Only has the Thruster had a resurgence for anyone else? The Thruster is easily my favourite vehicle in GTAO, but necessity required that the MkII be used but now that Invite Only is viable I have gone back to using the Thruster exclusively for grinding and missions. No vehicle is as precise as this and against the stupid AI its mobility and weapons are more than enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUScowboy Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 (edited) What id love to know is if this is the mythical leftover SP dlc jetpack or if they scrapped that and made a new one for DH. In hindsight it sure seems that the mural on Chiliad was in part referencing Trevor or whoever would have starred in the DLC including Chiliad/aliens/the jetpack. Obviously this is conjecture but I do remember Fun or Yan confirming that DH was indeed repurposed elements of that Alien War SP DLC..

Jamwes Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 Does anyone have good pictures of Avon's jetpack? I want to make mine as a replica, but I can't find good pictures online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night Machine Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 (edited) Finally decided to buy a Thruster and was only excited for like a second. Take it to my facility and I'm not able to modify/customize it in my workshop. What is the deal!!?? While in it in the facility it's not giving the prompt to modify and pressing the right d pad does nothing.

On XB1 It works like normal for me but I have had this since Doomsday came out. Have you tried going back in? New session? Invite Only etc?

A bunker under Mount Chiliad with an evil Jetpack having villain sounds right up his street. It works like normal for me but I have had this since Doomsday came out. Have you tried going back in? New session? Invite Only etc? I've been trying since I got it and still no luck. I've had the facility since they came out but just recently got the Thruster. Since I've always been a lone wolf player and not ever a cheater in online the new update has really helped me out in enjoying this game more and being able to make a ton more money now. So I'm buying up all kinds of stuff now that I've been wanting. I payed full price for the Thruster so it's irritating I can't upgrade it. It's like I have to buy the Avenger with a workshop or something to upgrade it or something now. That's over another $5.5M just to upgrade this thing when the workshop I already have is supposed to upgrade it. I don't even use the facility as it is, this is my 1st vehicle since they came out that I can be upgraded in it and the only one that interests me. Otherwise I just use it as a garage. I may get the Avenger sometime but I got many other things before it. I love this Thruster as is but I will love it way more fully upgraded. It's kind of frail with no armor and weapons would definitely be great. Been having fun with it doing some missions and also used it to get the LD Organics collectibles. Pic of my Love Fist t-shirt that glitched out with a golf polo when I did one of the golf course assassination's. I kind of liked it and wore it for a few missions before changing clothes again. lol And pic when I finished collecting the LD Organics with the Thruster. Made quick work of gathering the collection.

Do you have the prompt at the top of the screen? One direction for Vehicle Workshop and the other direction for the Avenger Workshop? Could you try buying a new Bunker in a different place and see if it resets? Edited Wednesday at 04:27 PM by RyuNova Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night Machine Posted Wednesday at 04:43 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 04:43 PM I get no prompts when getting into the Thruster while in the facility. Pressing on the D-pad does nothing either. I realy don't want another facility since I have no need outside of using as a garage. Thanks for trying to help figure this out BTW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Thruster is my favorite vehicle and I don't think it gets anywhere near enough love so spreading that love to other people is good. It's weird, you should get the option to modify it and even one to put it in the Avenger even though it can't enter it. Have you reset your console? Cleared the cache? If you buy another Facility you trade your current one in, you can only own one at a time, for a discount on your new one. All your vehicles are automatically transferred.

I will have to see where my other options are for location if I decide to trade in to see if it fixes the issue. I do really like the location of my facility, it's the one right in the marshes outside of Fort Zancudo where I have a hanger. If there's another one real close by I can get that one to see what happens. I did just recently clear everything out on my console so should be good on that.
