I’m gonna do my best to explain to the newer folks how to do a really fast jump from the plane to the ground. First thing to keep in mind is the maximum jump distance you’ll get from a standard plane ride. This technique doesn’t really work on the lower flying helicopters you get on maps like Karaken or Paramo, or when the plane is going to explode on the Taego map, but it will help.
First thing to keep in mind is that the big squares on the maps are laid out in 1000m grid, with the smaller squares equating to 100m. Your maximum range for an auto parachute pull is 1000m, or one big square on the map. The key to being quick to the ground is this:
1) pick a spot no further that 1000m (one BIG square) from the plane.
2) once you jump, pull back on the right stick to flatten out your character’s trajectory.
3) once you get within 100m (one small square) of your target destination, push the right stick all the way forward to start your final dive.
You want to reach terminal velocity, which is 234kmp. If achieved, your chute will open just a second or two later than everyone else, giving you just a little more free fall, thus allowing you to hit the ground faster than had you just floated level the entire way. The later you can hit that 234kmp, the better. You want to use up as much of that distance as possible. It’s actually faster that dropping straight down onto your target. Remember that.
A few extra tips: never, EVER jump behind the plane. You want to go no further than 90* of the plane’s flight path, period. If you do, you run the risk of landing on someone else, and they probably already have a gun, then back to the lobby for you. No fun.
Also, check out some of Whacky Jacky’s videos on YouTube. He is a font of knowledge when it comes to pubg game mechanics. I know he’s on PC, but his game knowledge was crucial to me learning the ins and outs to this game.
I hope this wasn’t too long and I also hope this helps our newer players and folks that need to brush up on their drop skills. I included a couple pictures to give you a rough idea of the distances you’ll want to use for this technique.
