How are players parachuting 2x as fast?

[Wond3rMuffin]

I am seeing players that, after they pull their ripcord, and had left a plane after me, zooming by with their parachute out and hitting the ground 5-6 seconds before me. So they are above me when our chutes are drawn and yet they hit the ground so much faster than me.

I aim myself downwards and get to the fastest speed as I can possibly go. But they fly by. How and why is this happening?

hold W and make sure you're looking all the way down? Never had this happen to me.

Are u dumb. that means they jumped 6 seconds before u in the plane xDD

Hold W the whole way down. Top speed. Just happened again. 2 players descending way faster than me with and without chute drawn. Fastest speed without chute/freefall I can achieve is 235km/h. Theyre moving past me like Im standing still

No no. These guys jumped after me. They were way above me the whole way down. They drew their chutes after me. They are above me. We are heading for the same building complex. He zooms past me and touches down 5-6 seconds (sometimes more) than me. If Im above someone when we draw our chutes I shouldnt be able to pass them when we're both pitched towards the ground with W key moving at top speed

No, this has happened to me plenty of times. I'm the first one the jump, see and TRACK people behind me the moment they out of the plane AFTER me, go as fast as humanly possible both without shoot and with shoot, only to somehow have them pass me.

He's very much not dumb.

Thanks. Ive seen it. Two of my friends that play this have seen it. Youve seen it. Its a problem

I got 234/235 kmh the whole way down. Only exception is if the plane isnt over an area I like, then I glide out further. However, Im talking about jumping out, going full speed in freefall until you have to draw chute. Then, even after drawing the chute people that are above me are flying right past me when we are both pitched towards the ground using W. If we were next to each other we should hit about the same time. Better yet, last match this guy was above me, flew past me with his chute drawn, He hit the gorund before I landed o nthe rooftop of a 3-4 story building. That cant happen. UE4 is pretty solid in its physics. Thats a game or player issue

Same happened to me at least 4 times out of ~10 games, for some reason some people can land 2sec faster than me even tho i keep holding w as soon as i jump out. This is some h1z1 ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ out there.

Wait the parachute goes faster if you deploy yourself?

Hold W...drag the mouse towards you....profit. Only holding W doesnt make you fast enough.

You also have to pitch yourself forward with the mouse when the chute is drawn. For me, it doesnt seem to matter. Im going as fast as the game will allow me and people that jumped long after me are hitting the ground way before. :ast match guy that was next to me the whole way down landed so much sooner that hea was able to shoot at me while I was still parachuting. Its crap. It shouldnt be happening. Just like the players who are spriting and opening doors with no noise at all. Try post a thread about it. Watch it get deleted. Happened to me 5 times now.

AIM YOUR CAMERA DOWN. For ♥♥♥♥♥ sake people I thought this was common knowledge by now, you have to aim your camera down WHILE holding W to achieve max dive speed. Same goes for if you want to glide outwards, aim your camera horizontally and hold W. Just pressing a keyboard button isn't gonna do anything

it sounds like he's saying they are deploying chutes at same time but the other guy is still landing before him, not that the guy is diving faster than him? correct me if I am wrong.

1) who are you addressing? 2) I am pitching my camera all the way down. My drop speed is at max. Have you read this thread at all or are the just posting to post? Lrn2Read

Its both. See this screenshot

Guy nearest to the road jumped after me. We are both camera pitched down and W held. I was moving at 235km/h in the freefall. This is the max. He passes me like Im standing still. He deploys his chute fairly early. I wait. I catch up to him for a second. His chute-open descent speed increases so fast that he touches down almost ten seconds before I do. As you can see, my camera is pitched forward with W held. And now onto the next one...

Now, this next one is trip. See the car in the background going up the road? That guy is another one taht jumped after me and was able to land so much faster than me he was able to get a gun, load it, get into a car, drive past me, loop around, get out and shoot at me before I landed. Same scenario. Freefall 235km/h camera pitched straight down. Chute opened camera pitched all the way down and holding W. This last screenshot shows my guy pulling the brakes on his chute at the time of the screencap. So it looks like I let up on W and the camera pitch. I didnt. The game did that.
