If you’re looking to dramatically improve traversal in Crimson Desert, the Jet Pack (Kuku Rocket Pack) is one of the most impactful upgrades available. It transforms how you explore vertical terrain, letting you glide across gaps and scale heights much faster—but unlocking it involves a multi-step process tied to story progression, crafting, and resource farming.

Where the entire process takes place
The journey spans multiple regions including the Sanctum of Penitence, Hernand Highlands, and various settlements around Hernand. You will need to clear combat zones, solve environmental puzzles using Axiom powers, and gather materials from cliffs and interior structures. Most of your farming happens in Hernand-based locations, making it a central hub for this upgrade.
How to unlock the Kuku Rocket Pack blueprint
This is the most important progression step, as you cannot craft the jet pack without completing this questline.
Step 1: Progress until Oongka becomes playable
You must reach the story segment where Oongka is unlocked as a playable character. This typically happens mid-game and opens access to faction-specific quests.
Step 2: Start the Witch of Wisdom faction quest
Once Oongka is available, initiate the Witch of Wisdom questline. This leads you directly toward the Sanctum of Penitence.
Step 3: Enter and cleanse the Sanctum of Penitence
Inside the sanctum, defeat all enemies to clear the area. The challenge here is not just combat, but also environmental interaction.
Step 4: Repair the Kiln using Axiom force
Use Axiom powers to move a floating block and restore the kiln mechanism. This puzzle is essential to completing the sanctum.
Step 5: Obtain the Kuku Pack Blueprint
Once the sanctum is fully restored, you will receive the blueprint for the base Kuku Pack.
How to unlock the Rocket Pack upgrade blueprint
The actual jet pack upgrade is unlocked after the sanctum sequence through a follow-up event.
Step 1: Wait for Grimnir’s letter
After completing the sanctum, you will receive a letter from Grimnir. This acts as a trigger for the next mission.
Step 2: Complete the follow-up mission
The mission unlocked by Grimnir rewards you with the Rocket Pack blueprint. This is the final requirement before crafting.
How to craft the Kuku Rocket Pack
Crafting is a two-stage process involving a base item and upgrade materials.
Step 1: Obtain the Kuku Pack (base item)
You must first acquire a peddler’s pack from the Hernand Highlands tannery. This item is then converted into the Kuku Pack.
Step 2: Gather required materials
Below is a quick breakdown of everything needed:
| Material | Quantity | Where to Find |
|---|---|---|
| Iron Ore | 10 | Cliffsides, rocky terrain |
| Copper Ore | 10 | Cliff edges, mining spots |
| Cogwheels | 5 | Break pots in buildings |
| Small Batteries | 3 | Loot from containers in Hernand |
Iron and Copper are typically found along cliffs, so keep an eye on mineral deposits while exploring.
Cogwheels and Batteries are more urban loot, commonly obtained by smashing pots and containers inside buildings.
Step 3: Combine all components
Once you have the Kuku Pack and all materials, craft the Kuku Rocket Pack from the crafting menu.
How the jet pack works in Crimson Desert
The Kuku Rocket Pack is equipped in Oongka’s back slot and fundamentally changes traversal mechanics. Instead of relying solely on climbing or jumping, you can now glide across large distances and gain vertical height when needed.
The flight system is stamina-based, meaning you cannot stay airborne indefinitely. You will need to manage stamina carefully, especially when crossing large gaps or climbing steep terrain.
It is best used for:
- Reaching elevated platforms quickly
- Traversing cliffs and valleys
- Avoiding ground-based enemies
- Exploring hidden areas
However, poor stamina management can leave you vulnerable mid-air, so timing and positioning matter.
Rewards and benefits of unlocking the jet pack
This upgrade is not just a convenience—it fundamentally improves how you experience the game world. Areas that once required careful climbing or detours become easily accessible, and exploration becomes significantly more fluid.
| Reward | Description |
|---|---|
| Enhanced mobility | Glide and vertical lift capabilities |
| Faster exploration | Traverse large areas quickly |
| Tactical advantage | Avoid enemies and reposition easily |
| Access to hidden zones | Reach otherwise inaccessible areas |
If you enjoy exploration and vertical traversal, this is one of the most valuable upgrades you can unlock for Oongka.
The Kuku Rocket Pack stands out as a game-changing traversal tool that rewards both progression and exploration. While the process involves multiple steps—quest completion, blueprint unlocking, and material farming—the payoff is absolutely worth it once you take to the skies.
