Trivia

  • If using a controller, some controls (e.g. removing a parachute) will not display with buttons, but rather with the keys used on a keyboard.
  • In the 1/13/2019 update, the "J" key would give and deploy the player unlimited gliders. This was patched two days later.
  • Most glitches in the game can only be fixed with keyboard controls, due to the way mobile and Xbox players move.
  • On mobile, If you drag your finger on the sprint button, you will sprint forever until you get in a car or press the button again. This is no longer used as the sprint button can now be toggled.
