There are 15 base jumps, five of each type. After every jump a Base Jumps panel shows your accuracy, time and how many of each type you have done, so you can always see what is left.

How they work

Walk into a parachute icon to start. Free fall steers with the movement keys or stick, and the attack button opens the chute. Once it is open, shift your weight to steer and use the two air brakes to turn sharply or slow down. Land in the center of the target for the best accuracy, but anywhere on the target counts.

  • Target jumps: jump off a building and land on a pink target in the street. The objective reads Base jump onto the checkpoint.
  • Vehicle jumps: land on a moving vehicle, usually a slow flatbed truck. Two of them start with Luis on a motorbike, which you ride off a rooftop ramp before opening the chute. The objective reads Base jump onto the moving vehicle.
  • Helicopter jumps: you are lifted into the air by helicopter. Open the parachute and glide through the floating rings on the way down, then land on the target.

Jump by jump

1. Purgatory motorbike jump

A motorbike waits on the roof by a ramp. Ride hard off the ramp toward the river, kick free, open the chute and steer for the boat moving along the water below. Aim slightly ahead of the boat, since it keeps going while you fall.

2. Westdyke helicopter jump

The helicopter drops you over the Alderney coast. Glide through each ring in turn and finish on the target in Leftwood.

Tips

  • For vehicle jumps, open the chute early and use the air brakes to bleed off speed so you drop straight down onto the target.
  • Rings are easier if you open the chute a little earlier than feels natural.
  • A missed jump can be retried right away from the parachute icon.
