In [[Ballad of Gay Tony|The Ballad Of Gay Tony]], multiple changes have been made to the observatory. There are numerous signs directing the locations of exits. There is a large neon sign, facing north which displays "Rotterdam Tower: Top of the World", which is easily viewable from [[Star Junction]]. The addition of a stairwell on the south-western corner of the observatory allows for players to climb up to the base of the Rotterdam Tower's spire. The stairwell has been complemented by the removal of the four satellite dishes and water towers around the spire's base. Finally, the addition of two ladders on the spire allow players to climb up to the top of the 102nd floor interior observation deck, and the top of the antenna respectively, allowing for the highest BASE jump from a building in game. A [[Parachute|parachute]] is located on the top of the first ladder. There has also been the removal of the two ladders on the eastern and western faces of the building, which in [[Grand Theft Auto IV|GTA IV]] allowed players to descend to the immediate setback below. | In [[Ballad of Gay Tony|The Ballad Of Gay Tony]], multiple changes have been made to the observatory.

Despite the height of the building, the observatory is useless for sniping, as pedestrians and vehicles will not spawn on the ground while the player is at that height. The observatory is safe from [[police]], as officers cannot utilize the building entrance; there are no other vectors of escape, however, so the Tower is an inadvisable destination if it lies within the [[Wanted Level in GTA IV|Wanted]] search radius. | Despite the height of the building, the observatory is useless for sniping, as pedestrians and vehicles will not spawn on the ground while the player is at that height.

However, in [[Ballad of Gay Tony|The Ballad of Gay Tony]], one can use the observatory as an escape from the police, with the inclusion of a parachute on the mast which allows for a jump to safety. | ||
