— The Soldier on preparing the mercenaries to parachute out of a plane

The B.A.S.E. Jumper is a secondary weapon for the Soldier and a primary weapon for the Demoman. It is a parachuting backpack with a spade decal, a sewn-on patch with a parachute logo, a red release handle, and a tag attached to a piece of rope, with the tag reading "#64". The parachute itself is greyish white, with various holes and rips on top.
This weapon allows the wearer to, whilst in midair, press the jump key (default key: Spacebar) to activate a parachute, slowing and capping their vertical descent to 112 Hammer units (roughly 37.3% of normal speed or 4.8 mph) and allowing them to better control their ability to strafe. Pressing the jump key again will deactivate the parachute, allowing players to fall normally. The player can then reactivate the parachute in midair, as many times as they want. Players can attack with any of their weapons while the parachute is deployed.
The B.A.S.E. Jumper can be deployed whenever the player is in the air, whether by jumping, explosive jumping, knockback, or simply falling off a ledge. Soldiers using the B.A.S.E. Jumper can successfully use the Market Gardener to land critical hits on players, regardless of how many times the parachute has been deployed in mid-air, as long as the original jump was an explosive jump.
The B.A.S.E. Jumper was contributed to the Steam Workshop under the name "Troop Chute".

Update history
June 18, 2014 Patch (Love & War Update)
- The B.A.S.E. Jumper was added to the game.
- Fixed a client crash related to the B.A.S.E. Jumper.
- Updated the B.A.S.E. Jumper to prevent buying unusable upgrades in Mann vs. Machine.

December 17, 2015 Patch (Tough Break Update)
- Changed attribute:
- Removed hidden property of up draft when on fire.
October 20, 2017 Patch (Jungle Inferno Update)
- Changed attributes:
- Reduced amount of air control while deployed by 50%.
- Removed the ability to re-deploy the parachute once retracted until the player hits the ground again.
Notes
- This item cannot be worn with the Gaelic Golf Bag, Horsemann's Hand-Me-Down, King of Scotland Cape, Liquor Locker or Scrumpy Strongbox, as they occupy the same equip region.
Bugs
- One can craft the B.A.S.E. Jumper with incorrect slot and class tokens. i.e. Demoman class token with Secondary slot token. This is due to the B.A.S.E. Jumper being shared by both the Soldier and the Demoman while using different weapon slots for each class.
- If a player dies with a deployed parachute, the parachute will stay open while the player's ragdoll falls at standard speed.
- The B.A.S.E Jumper's bag disappears when the parachute is deployed, instead of using the intended opened version.
Trivia
- B.A.S.E. stands for Building, Antenna, Span (i.e., bridges), and Earth (i.e., cliffs); and the name as a whole is in reference to BASE jumping.
- The back of the "#64" paper contains a note reading "I love Square", marked by three drawings, an eye, a heart and a square, respectively. Square is the concept artist for the B.A.S.E. Jumper.
