How To Drop Faster in Apex Legends (Land First)

In the popular battle royale game Apex Legends landing fast is a key part to the early game. The players that land first have a better chance of finding a weapon before other players that land nearby. By perfecting the way you jump not only will you be able to land faster, but you can also cover more area on the map by flying. Unlike some battle royale games, you do not want to take a straight path to the location you plan on landing at. You want to drop gain speed and then travel to the location you are looking for. By following the diagram below you will be able to cover roughly 1,000m.

Keep in mind that if you can it is ideal to drop straight down. Dropping vertically straight down will always get you to the ground faster than if you were gliding outwards horizontally.
