As we all know in battlegrounds your life often depends on that how fast you can get your hands on guns. So if that is so important I decided to measure which way is the fastest to travel at the beginning of the game.
Most of you probably figured out that going face down from the plane then holding strafe + forward when your parachute pops (to avoid speed loss) and after that forward till you will land is the fastest way to get down.
Things are getting a bit more complicated when we want to travel further like 2 or 3kms away from the plane. After hours and hours of trying different ways and speeds, I came to the conclusion.
At the being of the first technique, we need to travel forward by looking up at the horizon and try to get as far as you can before auto-pull of your parachute will kick-in (900m – 1.2km is the max you can do). The distance which you will travel after chute is open depends on the speed which you are willing to maintain.
There is a chart with my results:
Speed – Distance – Time
20+km/h – 1,40- 1m 25sec
40+km/h – 1,55- 1m 09sec
50+km/h – 1,50- 1m 00sec
60+km/h – 1,30- 0m 58sec
2nd Technique is all about flying forward and pulling your parachute out as soon as we can. After that maintaining correct speed will give us humongous differences in results.
There is a chart with my results:
Speed – Distance – Time
20+km/h – 2,90km – 3m 33sec
30+km/h – 2,30km – 2m 35sec
40+km/h – 1,90km – 2m 02sec
50+km/h – 1,65km – 1m 37sec
60+km/h – 1,30km – 1m 24sec
3RD Technique Parachute Right Down and Drive with Vehicle
I also measured approx time which takes if we would parachute down to the vehicle and try to drive 2kms. This way we can compare it will long distance parachuting and know which way is faster.
That’s what I discovered:
Vehicle – Distance – Time
UAZ – 2km – 2m 17sec
Buggy – 2km – 2m 14sec
Dacia – 2km – 2m 02sec
Bike – 2km – 1m 51sec
SuperBike – 2km – 1m 44sec
Ofc bikes are the fastest and actually will beat anyone on parachute and Dacia will get you there in about the same time.
Keep in mind tho that all of that measurements were done with perfect driving and on a kinda flat surface.
