Usage

It is used by pressing the jump button (default Space) while descending in the air. Pressing the jump while ascending upwards in the air will not work.

The Parachute does not get consumed when used, so the player can make one and use it for as long as they want.

The parachute has a standard and sprint speed, which match the Blade Runners speeds.

Parachute railgun

Shortly after Update 8 was released for Experimental (EX) / Beta Branch, the use of Parachutes led to the discovery and development of Parachute Railguns (PRGs) by using Beams (Painted or Metal) constructed at an angle vertically.

While wearing / deploying a Parachute any vertical incline surface will shoot the Pioneer up very fast. It is unclear at this time if this is a bug or intended behavior.

The use of PRGs is a good way prior to Tier 7 to get a gods-eye view of your local area with relative safety and without using tall cliffs or having to build a Lookout Tower (or any other tall structure), or use a Ladder, or Jetpack. In Tier 7 most will gravitate to using Hover Packs to get overhead views of the local area.

AWESOME Sink

 Parachute can be sunk into the AWESOME Sink to yield 608 points.
