Skydive. Land. Loot. SURVIVE! That’s how every game of PUBG begins. But it all starts in the sky. Want to win your next match? It begins with the jump. Let’s break down skydiving and parachuting in PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds so you can land like a pro!

Why the Jump Matters
The first minute of your match sets the stage. A great landing means better loot, faster. It gives you the upper hand. A bad drop? Well, better start punching…
The Basics of Skydiving
- You start the match in a flying plane.
- The flight path changes every game.
- You choose when to jump by pressing the jump button.
This decision is critical. Where you jump decides how quickly you’ll land, what loot you’ll get, and how soon you’ll run into enemies.
Where to Drop
There are two main strategies:
- Hot Drop: Land at high-loot zones like Pochinki or School. Expect action fast!
- Safe Drop: Land far from the plane’s path. Loot in peace, but travel more later.
Choose based on your play style. Want chaos? Jump in the middle. Want to play it safe? Glide far off the line.
Jump Like a Ninja
Want to hit the ground faster than others? Here’s how:
- Jump when your target is 800-1000 meters away from the plane.
- Look straight down and push your joystick (or keys) forward.
- Reach max fall speed of 234 km/h.
- Let your parachute deploy automatically close to the ground.
This method lets you land super fast. You can grab weapons before others even touch the ground!
Manual vs. Auto Parachute
In PUBG, you have the option to open your parachute early.
- Early pull: Great for gliding long distances. Takes longer to land.
- Late pull (auto): Faster landings. Better for hot drops.
Pick the strategy that fits your drop spot. Long glide = early pull. Close and fast = late pull.
Steering the Parachute
After the parachute opens, you’re not done yet! Here’s how to fly like a boss:
- Push forward to move faster.
- Pull back to slow down or hover.
- Use left/right to rotate or zigzag through obstacles.
Watch out for trees and buildings. Nothing’s worse than landing on the roof with no way down!
Quick Landing Tips
- Mark your spot on the map before jumping.
- Use the compass to line up your jump.
- Spot other players in the sky. Know your competition early.
- Know the map well! Identify vehicles or good loot areas from above.
Advanced Tricks
Want to impress your squad? Try these:
- Drop & Drag: Jump straight down then pull your chute early to glide across the map.
- Fake Out: Dive toward a popular spot, then glide away to safety last second.
These can help you outsmart enemies and avoid early fights.
Final Thoughts
Learning the perfect skydive and landing isn’t just cool—it’s critical. First gun. First armor. First kill. It all depends on how you start. So practice your jumps, learn the maps, and be the first one locked and loaded!
Now get out there and drop like a legend! 🪂
