Jetpack dashing is very helpful in this regard, so is tossing yourself at the enemy in midair (jetpack then L/R+crouch). Unarmed combat in Cortex Command consists of ramming yourself into the enemy hopefully inflicting more damage to your enemy than to yourself. You'll want to jetpack a lot, seeing as walking can be a bit slow at times. It's hard to aim, and might require doing a jetpack dash in midair, but it's immensely satisfying when you pull it off properly and take someone's head off with pure kinetic force. This can also be exploited for using your units as ballistic missiles, if you're out of other options. You'd want to shut down the jetpack in this situation, and pray to the great FSM that your unit will point the right way upwards again. When not flying upright, your unit might start tilting forwards or backwards, which will eventually lead to you losing control over the jetpack. It can also be used for simply moving faster, for less hillarious and more useful results. This will require some training for the timing, but it's an unreliable, hillarious if pulled off correctly move for when you say, don't have any guns and want to ram an enemy soldier in his face. You can perform a jetpack dash by tapping crouch and forwards, then pressing and holding the jetpack key.
With a gamepad the left stick controls jetpack behavor, so you just point it in the direction you want your unit to go in. One thing you might notice after playing a bit, is that the jetpack is vectored towards where you're aiming, so you'll want to aim straight up if you want to fly straight up. If you do find yourself in the situation that you're carrying too many guns, try to use the jetpack only for gliding and order a dropship if you need it moved long distances. You should be wary of overloading your soldiers with guns however, seeing as they can't carry too much equipment and still be able to fly or even jump short distances. It runs on recharging fuel and will charge as long as you aren't actively using it.
The jetpack is one of your most important tools in Cortex Command.
