How to Perform the Fastest Drop and Tips

This article explains the fastest way to drop in Knives Out (mobile battle royale). It also covers tips and timing for descending.

How to Fastest Drop

How to drop as far and as fast as possible?

After exiting the transport plane, look upwards and head in your desired direction. Check the minimap, place a pin on your target location, and fly while monitoring the distance. It's best to jump when the distance to your destination reaches the maximum droppable distance .

Maximum Distance by Map

Vertical Drop is Also an Option

If your destination is near the flight path, and specifically if it's near the transport plane's starting point, drop straight down .

Drop at Around 100m～150m

The best timing for a vertical drop, on any map, is when the distance to your target location is 100m～150m. If you want to descend as fast as possible even with the parachute, you'll move forward , so aiming completely straight down will actually make you slightly slower.

Tips for the Fastest Drop

Check the Minimap

Check the minimap in the waiting area before the game starts to understand the flight path. Ultimately, it's best to decide your drop location based on information like how many other players have dropped, but it's recommended to decide on a desired drop location to some extent beforehand .

Use Freelook to Check Surroundings

If you have time, use freelook while descending to check your surroundings. You can check if there are enemies aiming for the same destination or spot enemies trying to land in nearby towns.

Ideal Drop Spots are Second Floors or Rooftops

Many people drop where supplies are concentrated, but ideally, you want to land on the second floor or rooftop of a building. It's easier to survey the town from above, and you can fight advantageously against enemies coming up from below .

Deciding Your Drop Location

If You Want Intense Combat

If you want intense combat or want to rack up kills, head to large towns near the flight path . Large towns have abundant supplies and are popular, so if the flight path is close, multiple players will likely drop there.

If You Want to Aim for Victory Safely

If you want to avoid combat initially and play safely, avoid hot drop zones and descend elsewhere . If you choose unnamed locations, the chances of encountering other players are low.

Avoid Other Players?

If you absolutely want to loot safely without encountering other players, aim for a vehicle instead of a town when dropping and move to a distant town.
