One of the best features in Starfield is the ability to use the Boost Pack to propel yourself in the air.
This can be useful for traversing mountainous planets, or even gaining a vantage point over an enemy. Plus, it’s a really fun tool to use.
However, you’ll need to complete a few steps before you’re able to start using your Boost Pack. So follow the below steps to start propelling yourself around alien planets.

10Double press Y to use the Boost Pack
If you followed the above steps correctly, you should be able to use the Boost Pack. Press Y to jump into the air, and then press Y again to use the Boost Pack to jet up into the air. You can’t keep thrusting into the air non-stop, as fuel will need to be replenished over time.
Troubleshooting
It’s fairly easy to get a Boost Pack. Looting downed enemies will often reward you with a Boost Pack, while you’ll also be rewarded with one after completing an early story mission.
You’ll need to gain a skill point in order to unlock Boost Pack training. In order to do this, you need to level up your character by gaining experience points. Defeating enemies and completing story/side quests are the easiest ways to achieve this.
