Parachutes are tools featured in Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, with the purpose of breaking Ezio Auditore da Firenze's fall from a height, among a variety of other uses.[1] They are unlocked upon completion of all of Leonardo da Vinci's War Machines missions.
Aside from using it to slow his fall, Ezio can use the parachute to maneuver through the air. While using the parachute, he may release it at any time to drop down, and either land on a horse or perform an air assassination. The parachute is square-shaped, in accordance to Leonardo da Vinci's original design, and bears a closer resemblance to modern-day paragliders than parachutes, both in its appearance and maneuverability.
Parachutes are single-use and must thus be replenished after being deployed. They are purchasable from Tailors, along with upgrades that allow you to carry up to 15 at once. They may be used by jumping from any point while in high profile.
Deploying a parachute while leaping off the Castel Sant'Angelo will earn the player the "Fly Like An Eagle" achievement.
Trivia
- Using the parachute momentarily, and quickly releasing it will not consume the parachutes.
- Though it was designed by the real-life Leonardo da Vinci, it was never used during the Renaissance, since testing it would involve a person jumping from a tower.
- Adrian Nicholas, a British skydiver, took the design of Leonardo da Vinci's pyramidal parachute and successfully tested it in 2000, despite scientists saying he would fail. However, he built his model using modern materials, so it was not technically following the original design.[2]
