Revision as of 12:02, 27 December 2009 by gtw>GTA69 (→‎Description)

Base Jumps are a minigame in The Ballad of Gay Tony. The goal is to jump off designated locations with a parachute and land on targets. There are a total of 15 base jump locations around Liberty City. There are three types of jumps: target, vehicle, and heli jumps. The player is scored on how accurate is the landing and the time it takes to land. Money is rewarded for any tasks completed. Completing all base jumps will unlock the Gone Down achievement and a parachute inside of your safehouse.

Description

Base Jumps is a new minigame in The Ballad of Gay Tony. However, GTA San Andreas was first to have base jumping but it is not a minigame. In the minigame, there are locations found throughout the city where the player can find. If they are located, they are specified in three types of base jumps. Note that the basejumps have different difficulties but mostly remain simple. Vehicle jumps sometimes tend to be the hardest because the jump must be made on a moving target. The vehicle target is normally a slow moving Flatbed. Players should also be aware that when in helicopter and you have a parachute, sometimes it may not appear and you will just fall. However this can be fixed by selected the parachute on the D-Pad and click RT. This spawns the parachute on Luis' back and is ready for use. Overall, basejumping and skydiving are great ways to see Liberty City from great heights.

Types

Target Jumps

  • Are jumps that has checkpoints where the player must dive from. As usual, the landing point is on the streets below after the checkpoints are collected.

Vehicle Jumps

  • The same as the target jumps but the landing point is a moving or a stationary vehicle.

Heli Jumps

  • Also the same with the mechanics of target and vehicle jumps but the starting point is in a helicopter.
