	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 Jumps\|Base Jump]] from a building in game. A [[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.

	* The 82nd Floor Observatory with Rotterdam Tower, is an excellent place for the player to obtain the "One Man Army" Achievement. To do this, the player must first load up on guns, ammunition and obtain full armour. To do this, the player has to gain a six star wanted level on ground level by destroying vehicles and killing police officers and pedestrians. Once they gain the six star wanted level, go to the Rotterdam Tower's 82nd floor observatory. Alternatively, the player can go to the 82nd floor observatory and obtain a six star wanted level there by typing in the "Gain One Star Wanted Level" cheat six times. The police cannot access the player while they are up there, however, the Police Mavericks and the Annihilators can. If they come for you, just shoot them down, either with a Rocket Launcher or by sniping them down with the Sniper Rifle or Combat Sniper rifle. Keep this up for five minutes and the player should gain the achievement.		* The 82nd Floor Observatory with Rotterdam Tower, is an excellent place for the player to obtain the "One Man Army" Achievement.
