How to unlock the Long Winded achievement in Worms Battlegrounds - Definitive Guide
In the mission 'brain-freeze' (mission6, where the way splits for the first time) equip your parachute and go on the stone trap.
directly press when you begin to fall down.
during your fall hold to slow it down.
Land safely and the achievement is yours.
First, go into the map editor. Clear whatever landscape the game randomly brings up so you can start from scratch. Then, with the brush or line tool, draw two lines on the map -- one at the upper limits of the map (the cutoff is just below the top of the background), and the second at the lowest point of the map. Now save your landscape.
Next, load up a local versus match between you and an AI opponent. Set the difficulty to Family, since it has the longest round timer. Worm count doesn't matter as long as you have two (the AI will go first and slaughter one of yours). Start the game and select your custom landscape.
Once you gain control, if you did not spawn on the top of the map, jetpack up there -- you have plenty of time. Finally, select your parachute and leap off the edge. Activate your parachute and hold up on the left analog stick or D-pad to slow your descent. When you land safely the achievement will pop.
Note: If you are still gliding when the time limit runs out, you will fall and take damage, canceling out the achievement. As the description says, you must land safely.
You could also set your spawn point at the top to make it easier, as you can then restart the game and have another go if something goes wrong.
Going to put this up to show an alternative to the other solutions, as this is the one I used thanks to Ray from Rooster Teeth.
The first thing you will have to do is select your parachute then walk up to half way the bridge as the bridge(trap) wil open and you will start falling down. As soon as that happends just open your parachute and you can slowly parachute all the way down. I think this is about 40-50 seconds from top all the way down.
If you fail to get it cause you were to slow on opening the parachute or for whatever other reasson you can just reload the level and try again. since its the first thing you do in that level.
I hope this will help you get the trophy.
You can easily earn this achievement in a Local Deathmatch. Make sure that you are using the Scout class for this method. With a Scout selected, activate your Jetpack. Before blasting off, go into your inventory and select the Parachute. Now jetpack straight up and allow the fuel to expire. The Parachute will automatically deploy. Simply watch the indicator at the top of the screen and steer you worm to safety.
In order to obtain this trophy create your own game style and set girders on. When you start the game, simply go to the highest point of the landscape and place a girder as high up as the game allows. Now use a Jetpack to fly up there, jump off using a parachute making sure you hold up on the analogue stick so you fall much slower, you should be able to stay airborne for 30 seconds this way.
