Parachuting

You've guessed it, how to use a parachute.

One of the first things each prisoner goes through is flying freely through the air with an equipped parachute. It's a repeatable experience that happens each time a prisoner dies and respawns. It can also be a fun experience if the Parachute item is found and used through regular gameplay.

Using The Parachute

Parachutes are items that can mostly be found around both larger and smaller airports, as well as bought in an Outpost. Once obtained, they can be equipped as a backpack. If the prisoner gets in an airborne situation like jumping from an airplane or a big cliff, the parachute can be activated to safely land. Press [W] [A] [S] [D] to navigate while mid-air. Body position in mid-air directly impacts the flying speed and can be adjusted with [Scroll up] and [Scroll down]. Press [F] to open the parachute. IMPORTANT - If the parachute is opened at a low height, the landing speed may cause heavy, and potentially fatal, injuries.
