I believe if you fall or bail out, you die. The exception appears to be light assault equipped with the Jet Pack that can slow their descent.

No parachutes as of yet.

The LA class has jet packs for doing tricky manoeuvres, all others just have to trust the laws of gravity and fall down.

However if you are Hotdropping from the Galaxy aerial transport you take no fall damage no matter what height you jump from (a fringe benefit).
They used to have gravchutes with effects in PS1 when you bailed from aircraft in PS1.

They need to add the effects in this game too.

As for stand alone parachutes you can just deploy when jumping off buildings, no that mess belongs in BF and not PS imho.

I really wish they'd add the kinetic dampener effects from PS1 as well. Nothing more badass than seeing 20+ blue things dropping from the sky.

Half the people I talk to in game have no idea you can hot drop from a gal. They think I am trolling them when i say "Ok, over target, press E".

Same happened to me last night. I hovered over a tower for about 10 seconds telling everyone to jump out but they either didn't hear me or didn't believe that they'd be safe hotdropping by pressing e. Ended up dropping them off on a road 100m away

I wonder, is it possible to lock your galaxy like you could in PS1, and automatically eject everybody? (I'm away from my rig and my laptop can't get more than 10fps, that's why I'm asking instead of checking.) I'm thankful that my outfit are all PS1 veterans so they understand how these systems work. Still, they need something to let people know.

Possible and tested repeatedly. Just make sure to aim your drop on a flat surface (as uneven surfaces will result in death)

Yeah, I fell to my death because I hit a small rock hotdropping on Amerish once. At least you can lock-drop people out I suppose.

Your only options are

1) Falling out of a galaxy will let you take no damage
2) Equip Light Assault so you can jetback out (doing so negates the galaxy protection)
3) Cert the Kinetic Dampener thing for an individual vehicle.

Also, 3 Galaxys + 3 Squads + All Max on top of a biolab = FUN AS HELL

Unless youre on the receiving end. -_-"

Monitor · 2012-11-28, 05:50 PM

even then its still exciting, running for your life... I've been on that end too haha

Asceye · 2012-11-29, 01:33 AM

Aye true that. A campaign-like scenario (i.e. running through the open field from point A to point B with enemy tanks shelling rounds on you and enemy gunships firing salvos reducing your life to red levels) is considered normal hehe. So fun haha! :3
