Your starting kit has a new, smaller glider, the Grizzly Manta: a bear skull, fur and stitched hide on a joined wooden frame, with hinged wings that fold and restrained flex in the wind. Both gloved hands close round its round wooden bar, in first and third person.
It flies toward where you look. Dive to build speed and pull up to spend it on height, carve turns with A and D, and use W and S to fine tune the pitch. Hold W and Shift to speed up; since October 28 that costs much less height than a dive, and W alone dives. One press of R, or of its hotbar key, opens or folds the wing on the ground or in the air: fold it in the air and you fall, and opening it again needs room below you. On the ground the survivor lifts the folded bar from his waist and spreads the wings, and folding reverses it.
Wind rush grows with your airspeed, and the hide flutters faster at speed and loosens when it carries no load, while the frame and the skull stay rigid. From October 8 a new world starts with empty hands, and the glider is no longer handed to you.
