The Parachute in use.
The parachute is a piece of equipment in Battle Royale and Classic.
Battle Royale[]
In a Battle Royale match, the parachute is only used in the beginning when first jumping out of the airplane. Players can manually activate the parachute, or it will automatically deploy when the player gets close to the ground. Controls for controlling the parachute are similar to those for moving around, with "s" makes the parachute fall faster.
Classic[]
In maps such as Area 15 Base, City Point, Desert, Escape, Flooded, Northwest, Pacific, and Remagen, parachutes are used in one of the three spawning mechanisms. Players can parachute in their home base or on their teammate by left-clicking on the green portions of the map. Alternatively, they can Default Spawn, which places them in their home base and gives them temporary spawn protection, or they can right-click on their base to automatically spawn there without spawn protection.
Parachute controls in Classic are different from Battle Royale since here pressing "s" makes the parachute go backwards. The parachute also deploys when a player jumps out of a Fighter Jet or Helicopter. Players are given a Pistol to shoot enemies while parachuting.
Design[]
Parachutes display a player's equipped flag. If no flag is equipped, it will instead show as a default white.
Bugs[]
- The parachute is considered a vehicle by the game's code, so bugs involving vehicles often affect the parachute as well.
Trivia[]
- Technically, players in WB do not need to use a parachute, since there is no fall damage in the game.
- Logically speaking, it is unknown why only the pistol can be used when parachuting. As clearly seen in the pictures, the player has both hands on the pistol, meaning other two handed weapons, such as rifles, can also be used when parachuting.
- This is probably for balancing purposes.
