How To Unlock The Jetpack in Slime Rancher 2

One of the must-have Upgrades for exploration in Slime Rancher 2 is the Jetpack, which can be Fabricated using three particular resources.

The Jetpack is an Upgrade in the indie adventure sim Slime Rancher 2 that enables players to consume Energy for temporary flight. While most of Rainbow Island's content is at "ground level," there are many resources, passageways, and secrets that abound in elevated areas of the biomes. Unfortunately, Beatrix is no athlete, resulting in her jumping ability severely lacking for vertical terrain exploration in Slime Rancher 2. However, unlocking the Jetpack opens up a whole new world of opportunities, theoretically and literally, allowing players to traverse the world easily and reach previously inaccessible points.

To unlock the Jetpack in Slime Rancher 2, players must refer to their Fabricator, the crafting bench-like device within the underground lab beneath the Conservatory. The entrance to this area is located to the left of the Plort Marketplace. The Fabricator will reveal that adventurers must procure the following to craft the Jetpack Upgrade: 450 Newbucks, 10 Phosphor Plorts, and 10 Radiant Ore.

Newbucks is the primary currency of Slime Rancher 2, and earning 450 is a goal that can be met within less than a day. Selling several dozen Cotton or Tabby Plorts should grant a profit of over a thousand Newbucks. As for Phosphor Plorts, this is a resource that comes from Phosphor Slimes in Slime Rancher 2, creatures that only appear after nightfall. To encounter these nocturnal critters, players must wait until the sun goes within the Rainbow Fields, after which groups of Phosphor Slimes will pop up from the ground in search of food. Alternatively, changing the time of day to night is also an available option within Beatrix's house at the Conservatory.

Phosphor Slimes eat Fruit, such as Pogofruits and Cuberries. If players plan on bringing these Slimes back to their home base, they must be sure to install a Solar Shield in their Corral to prevent the creatures from dissolving during the day. Feeding ten wild Phosphor Slimes is also a convenient option for collecting the required Plorts. The third and final resource needed to unlock the Jetpack in Slime Rancher 2 is Radiant Ore, which can be quite tricky to obtain.

Radiant Ore cannot be found in the starting area of the Rainbow Fields. So instead, players should make their way to Ember Valley, the isle west of the initial island. To reach this location, fans must feed the Pink Gordo in a northwestern clearing directly north of the Refinery Link. After being fed 30 of any food type, the Gordo will burst, revealing a geyser that can be used to reach a device that activates the portal to the Ember Valley. Accordingly, players can travel to Ember Valley and collect the Radiant Ore they need to unlock the Jetpack Upgrade in Slime Rancher 2.
