A Tug Boat.

The Tug Boat is a very large and very slow tug boat in Grand Theft Auto IV. It can usually be found near the barges in the Humboldt River between the Broker and Algonquin bridges. It can also be found in the dock in the south east of Alderney. It is the largest boat in the game, and probably the entire series thus far.

Control

Whilst on the Tug Boat, the player cannot run, but the the player may move faster if they aim with the pistol. Pressing the correct button to board the ship will also cause the player to automatically walk to the wheel of the boat. This vehicle can only properly contain one person in multiplayer (the driver), although others can still stand on the deck, however these players will lose some control of their characters. When the boat is moving, they will also begin to glide off slowly; if anyone stands at the front of the boat they will actually pass through the superstructure and see the water beneath.

Trivia

  • When the boat explodes, it will keel over just like the wrecks seen around the south coast of Alderney.
  • When in the water, the player can board the ship by pressing 'jump', and the player will do a giant leap for the side.
  • In multi-player, a person is flying a helicopter can knock the tug by clipping the top of it.
  • In multiplayer, these can make for good sniping platforms, although less so than most buildings.
