After the successful field tests of the technology, the Helghan Empire deployed units of Air Troopers on Vekta where they made use of the jetpacks to scale crumbling buildings and the gaping chasms of southern Vekta. They also appear in Killzone 3. They are seen equipped with a type of light machine gun that is carried on board their jetpacks. This makes them forces to be reckoned with for their agility and firepower on the battlefield.
