What is the fastest way to land?
What's the fastest and quickest way to land at a specific spot in Apex Legends? In Fortnite, I would drop about 3 map tiles away from a spot I wanted to drop, however in this game, the dropship seems to fly slower than gliding towards my location.
In addition, I have seen squads do weird things when dropping. Some fly straight down, while some others seem to fly straight for a bit, dip down for a brief moment, then fly straight again.

Totally depends on where you want to land, how far away it is, what you mean with "fastest" and how the path to the desired location is

Yes, it depends on where you're landing, but there should also be a way to expedite medium-long range drops besides straight down drops. How do people estimate the distance to drop from the aircraft to their intended destination? This is why I have brought up Fortnite as an example -- a good rule of thumb in that game is to drop 2-3 tiles before the location where you want to drop.

For an exact distance you can put a marker on the map and look in its direction. you will be given a distance in meters. I prefer to aim for the spot I want to land on. this results in the "shortest" path, though its not the fastest way. If the drop follows actual physics, then aBrachistochrone Curveis fastest.
