Fuel

Fuel, otherwise known as Jetpack, is a major game mechanic in Gun Raiders. It is used to move around the map quickly and for mobility during battles with other players.
== Appearance ==
Fuel appears as a thin, yellowish-green bar above the Shield bar on the screen. The bar depletes as Fuel is used. It is not seen during No Jetpacks mutators, and the bar does not deplete in Infinite Fuel mutators. When using Fuel, a trail of fire and smoke is left behind.
The model of the player’s Jetpack and it’s trail can be modified with cosmetics, but the default is dark grey with pearlescent highlights and the trail is white, orange, and blue. When the player dashes or glides, streaks of yellowish-green show the movement of the player.
== Functionality ==
Fuel is primary used for mobility purposes, ranging from dodging other players, to moving around the map, and more. It can be used in three ways: to Jetpack, Dash, and Glide. The amount of fuel a player can used is limited, and automatically regenerates when not used. The player gains extra fuel while Overshielded.
==== Jetpack ====
Use of the Jetpack sends the player into the air, slowly. It has a very short startup time before boosting the player at full speed. It quickly uses the player’s fuel.
==== Dash ====
Dash sends the player a medium distance, very quickly, in whatever direction the Player is moving. If the player is not moving, they are sent forward. It uses bursts of the player’s fuel. 
==== Gliding ====
Gliding slows a players downward movement and increases their horizontal speed while airborne. It cannot be activated while standing on the ground. It can be used at the same time as Jetpack to increase horizontal mobility. It slowly decreases the player’s fuel.
Fuel is featured in two mutators, Infinite Fuel and No Jetpacks.
==Regaining fuel==
Fuel is automatically progressively regained when the player is not using their jetpack or gliding.
Killing another player immediately refills the fuel bar entirely.
== Trivia ==
* The name of Fuel is repeatedly contradicted throughout the history of the game. Some parts of the game refer to Fuel properly, and other parts refer to it as Jetpack. The developers and patch notes also occasionally switch between these names.
