In the original Ratchet & Clank, it provides additional functionalities. It can also smash through crates when stretch jumping through them. The Thruster Pack allows Ratchet to perform the same three moves as the Heli Pack: the boost jump, stretch jump, and glide. However, it provided no power slam functionality, and both the boost jump and stretch jump were identical to the Heli-Pack. With it, Ratchet was able to use it to activate a thrusterbolt, which allowed him to disable the security barriers blocking access to the pumping stations, thus granting him the mission ' Clean up Amoeboids in Pumping Station'.Ĭlank also made use of the Thruster-Pack in Going Commando, Up Your Arsenal, and Tools of Destruction, as he stayed equipped with it. In the re-imagined Ratchet & Clank, the Thruster-Pack was granted for free by Al on Pokitaru during the mission ' Destroy the hydroharvesters'. Please see Project:Bulletin board/Canon for the wiki's coverage of canon. As Qwark is an unreliable narrator, and contradictory events are in-universe fiction (though those which correspond still apply). The re-imagined game primarily describes Captain Qwark's account of events. Finally, after defeating Drek, Ratchet was about to fall to his death but was saved a split second before impact by Clank who managed to catch him using the Thruster-Pack.

Near the end he had to use it once more for the same purpose and reason while on the mission to ' Save Ratchet's planet'. Much later he had to use the power slam feature again to open a lock while progressing through the ' Infiltrate the secure area' mission at the robot factory on planet Quartu.

The Thruster-Pack is also used elsewhere on the Resort to access a gold bolt. Ratchet then used the new gadget on the lock that was stopping him from accessing the jet fighter and destroy the blarg ships. The Thruster Pack was installed in the original Ratchet & Clank in Bob's RoboShack on planet Pokitaru for 2,000 bolts, completing the mission ' Buy Thrusterpack from Bob' to help the Resort Owner.
