9/26/2025
In Medal of Honor: Airborne, “puzzles” refer to locating and landing in hidden Skill Drop areas on each mission map. These Skill Drops contain crates that provide permanent weapon upgrades and combat enhancements, rewarding players for exploration and precision. Mastering Skill Drops is a key part of the game’s open-ended design.
How to Find and Land in Skill Drops
Look for the parachute icon: Skill Drops are marked by a small parachute icon on your HUD or visible in the environment during the plane jump.
Perform a precise landing: Carefully steer your parachute toward the Skill Drop location to reveal hidden stashes of upgrades.
Execute a “Greased Landing” for faster readiness: Approach the landing target from a low trajectory to land and start running immediately, giving you a combat advantage right away.
Examples of Skill Drops
The Amphitheater: Located atop a cargo loader in the The Show mission.
Near the Western Drop Flare: On top of a large column in this area.
Near the Eastern Drop Flare: In an opening of the aqueduct.
Fuel Depot: On top of a water tower.

Skill Drops encourage players to explore and experiment with landing zones, enhancing both strategy and gameplay freedom in Medal of Honor: Airborne.
