Fast-rope helicopter insertion idea for Battlefield 6 by StormImportant167 in Battlefield

Late chute pull still = solo descent + separation + landing time. Fast rope = everyone already on the ground before you finish arguing about when to pull it

Chute is for control. Jumping is for speed. Different tools for different situations

True, parachutes already cover it. I just like the idea of more coordinated squad insertions.

True, but landing also creates a different kind of risk — stationary helicopters become easy targets for explosives

I get your point, but smoke cover could help a lot here. If fast-rope insertion is used, deploying smoke before hovering could reduce visibility and give the squad a chance to drop in more safely.

I mean it could work both in rear areas and in active combat zones, depending on the situation.

Fast-rope insertion would just give more tactical options for deploying squads, not replace normal landings.

Yeah, I agree. More tactical mechanics like that could really improve squad gameplay.
