Wardogs — Parachutes Game Feature Reference

Extracted from cooked game data (Wardogs/Plugins/GameFeatures/Parachutes, 7 JSON files, all parsed). Build ++Wardogs+Live-CL-516586, UE 5.7.

What this is: two parachute items (Basic and Sport), each with a movement profile, a vendor listing, UI text, and an inventory definition. The plugin registers its vendor and UI rows through two data registry sources.

Season 02 update (2026-10-15)

  • Basic and Sport MinFallHeightBeforeAbleToParachute: 100 → 400.
  • Sport PullUpDragAcceleration: 825 → 400.
  • Both profiles gained VerticalDragCoefficient (1.75), OpenDuration (2.0) and MinHeightOpenParachuteFromGround (1000).
  • Vendor price: Basic 100 → 500, Sport 1,000 → 700.

Full before/after list: Season 2 Changes → Player & Movement.

Item and movement IDs: Id.Item.Parachute.Basic, Id.Item.Parachute.Sport.

2. Movement Profiles (WDParachuteData)

Fields not listed for a profile are absent from its export (see section 8).

Property Basic Sport Notes

Reading the difference: the Basic chute has no pull-up stamina, no glide, no pull-up drag and no max speed caps. Sport adds all of them, with a stamina bar that drains at 50/s and regenerates at 30/s.

3. Inventory Items

Field Basic (ID_Parachute_Basic) Sport (ID_Parachute_Sport)
ItemId Id.Item.Parachute.Basic Id.Item.Parachute.Sport
DisplayName “Parachute” “Parachute”
ItemContext Inventory.Slot.Traversal, Item.Parachute, Item.Context.Equippable, Item.Archetype.Parachute same
Weight 2.5 9.0
Inventory shape 3 x 2 3 x 2
Parachute data DA_ParachuteMovement_Basic DA_ParachuteMovement_Sport
Audio data asset ID_Backpack_Audio ID_Backpack_Audio

Fragments (both items)

Fragment Settings
BHInventoryFragment_UserInterface (none)
BHInventoryFragment_Weight Weight as above
BHInventoryFragment_Droppable Dropped mesh: Basic Backpack_SM_Temp, Sport Backpack_SM; rotation (Pitch 0, Yaw 90, Roll 10); override relative location (-4, 0, -25); override box extent (15, 16, 22)
WDInventoryFragment_Audio ID_Backpack_Audio
BHInventoryFragment_CustomShape Dimensions 3 x 2
WDInventoryFragment_Parachute ParachuteData -> the matching movement profile

Both drop a backpack-style mesh (the Basic one is the _Temp variant). The movement profile is what distinguishes them in play.

4. Vendor Listings (DT_VendorData_Ext_Parachutes)

Row Price Amount per purchase Level to unlock Lifetime buy limit Vendor category Shown in vendor
Id.Item.Parachute.Basic 500 1 0 0 (no limit) Vendor.Category.Gear.Traversal (variation); Vendor.Category.Utility (row) yes
Id.Item.Parachute.Sport 700 1 0 0 (no limit) Vendor.Category.Gear.Traversal (variation); Vendor.Category.Utility (row) yes

Both rows have no unlock requirements (UnlockRequiredItems empty) and are not faction-specific. Both use purchase event Audio.Event.UI.InGame.Vendor.Purchase and vendor audio ID_Vest_Audio, which is not a parachute sound. That looks like a copy-over.

5. UI Text and Icons (DT_EntityData_UI_Ext_Parachutes)

Row Friendly name Description Icon
Id.Item.Parachute.Basic “Basic Parachute” ”- Single Use / - Must be manually Deployed / - Cannot be Controlled” T_UI_Icon_Parachute_Basic
Id.Item.Parachute.Sport “Sport Parachute” ”- Single Use / - Must be manually Deployed / - Can be Controlled” T_UI_Icon_Parachute_Sport

Both rows use category None and XP tags None. Each carries subtitle, description and flavour tooltip layouts; the subtitle is “Traversal”.

Flavour text:

  • Sport: “Reduces fall damage when deployed. Gives the player greater control for evading enemy fire and steering to a landing point.”
  • Basic: “Reduced Fall damage when deployed”

6. Game Feature Registration (Parachutes)

Action Registry Table
GameFeatureAction_DataRegistrySource_0 VendorData DT_VendorData_Ext_Parachutes
GameFeatureAction_DataRegistrySource_1 EntityData_UI DT_EntityData_UI_Ext_Parachutes

Both are client and server sources with asset priority 0. No curve tables are added.

7. How Values Combine

  • Fall damage: a fall only lets you open a parachute above 400 (the minimum fall height). Velocity damage is read from CRV_ParachutePunishment_Damage, which lives outside this plugin, so the exact damage at a given speed is not in this dump.
  • Sport stamina: the pull-up action costs 50 stamina per second (PullUpStaminaUsagePerSecond) and regenerates at 30 per second when not in use. The Basic profile’s stamina values are 0, so it cannot pull up.
  • Sport speed: horizontal speed caps at 2,200 and vertical at 3,000. Glide adds 1,000 acceleration; pull-up drag adds 400 when active.

8. Still Not Pulled / Limitations

  • CRV_ParachutePunishment_Damage curve values are not in this plugin. Only the reference is here.
  • Absent movement fields. Several Basic fields (max speeds, roll speed) and Sport fields (max pull-up stamina) are not exported. The runtime default is not known from the dump.
  • Unit for MinFallHeightBeforeAbleToParachute and the speed values is not stated in the export.
  • Plugin root scan rules. The GameFeatureData Parachutes has PrimaryAssetTypesToScan but was not extracted here.
  • Audio assets. ID_Backpack_Audio, ID_Vest_Audio and the purchase event are referenced by name only.
  • Other registries. Only the vendor and entity-UI registries are registered. Any other parachute-related table was not seen in this plugin.
