[[File:BloodBrothers-GTAIV3.jpg|300px|right|thumb|[[Niko Bellic]] operating a window cleaning platform during the mission [[Blood Brothers]] in [[Grand Theft Auto IV]].]] | |||
A '''window cleaning platform''' is a platform that can ascend and descend the faces of skyscrapers and other large buildings to clean windows. It has by large been a non-interactive prop wherever it is featured in the [[Grand Theft Auto]] series, with [[Grand Theft Auto IV]] being the only game where players have access to usable window cleaning platforms. | |||
== Description == | |||
In [[Grand Theft Auto IV]], window cleaning platforms are operable items featured on several buildings in [[Liberty City in GTA IV Era|Liberty City]], being available for use at any point of the game; the player can control the movement (up or down) of the platform to ascend to the top of buildings, or descend from a building if they land on its rooftop using a helicopter. Window cleaning platforms are also used in three missions in GTA IV ("[[Blood Brothers]]", "[[Deconstruction for Beginners]]", and "[[Late Checkout]]") during which they are used to ascend buildings to gain a good sniping position or advantageous assault/escape. | |||
A non-operable wooden window cleaning platform is also present on the [[San Fierro Tower]] in GTA San Andreas. | |||
== Locations == | |||
There are only a total of 11 window cleaning platforms in GTA IV, all of which are concentrated within midtown and downtown [[Algonquin]] and [[Alderney City]].
