[[Tau]] '''jetpacks''' provide enhanced mobility. They are incorporated into Tau [[Drone|Drones]]s and some [[Battlesuit|Battlesuits]], except for [[Drone#Sniper Drone Team|sniper drones]] and [[Battlesuit#Broadside Battlesuit|Broadsides]]s.
They offer increased mobility on the battlefield and the ability to drop in [[Deep Strike]] behind enemy lines. The mobility that they offer is often used to jump from cover or out of range, fire, and then jump back into cover or out of range.
They differ ==Difference from [[ImperialJump pack]] s==They differ from conventional [[Jump pack|jump packpacks]]s in that provide they do not confer the same movement advantages. A jump pack allows a soldier to move faster advance toward , and in turn assault units that are farther away than the enemyconventional distance. Tau, not needing to assault, use jetpacks, but lack the which allow them greater maneuverability , which enables them to dodge in and out of cover whilst firing at the Tau jetpackenemy. Jetpacks also are steadier than jump packs, and provide a stable fire platform, enabling users to fire weapons as accurately and effectively as if they had not moved.
