Unique Stunt Jumps

Unique Stunt Jumps (also known as Unique Jumps in 3D Universe and Stunt Jumps in GTA IV) are a feature in every Grand Theft Auto game since GTA III (with the exception of GTA Advance).
Description
[edit | edit source]All GTA games have jumps set up around their maps for "insane" stunting. In the 3D viewport games, some of these jumps are invisbly designated as collectible unique jumps, usually with a variety of monetary rewards offered and separate statistics kept. When making a unique jump, the camera will switch to a slow motion and/or cinematic view. Some unique jumps require landing in a certain area, for example, a roof of a building. Some jumps may be close to obstacles, and hitting them in-flight may lead to failing the jump. If the jump was successful, a message will appear after landing and if the jump was failed, a message may appear (depending on the game).
Repeating a completed jump does not award the player money again, but the player may still be treated with a cinematic view of the jump.
Most jumps require high speed, and it is recommended to use the fastest motorbike in the game, such as a PCJ 600, NRG-500 or NRG-900. Sometimes leaning forward on the bike may be needed for increased speed. Alternatively, a fast car such as an Infernus equipped with nitro (if available) may be used. However, in some jumps, too much speed may lead to overshooting the landing area. Some ramps are too narrow for a car and must be undertaken on a motorcycle. Some games also have water-based jumps that require a fast watercraft.
3D Universe
[edit | edit source]GTA III
[edit | edit source]There are 20 stunt jumps spread throughout Liberty City: eight in Portland, four on Staunton Island, and eight in Shoreside Vale.
Completing a jump in GTA III rewards $5,000 multiplied by the total number of jumps completed (for the n-th jump, $5,000*n i.e. $5,000 for jump #1, $100,000 for jump #20). Completing all 20 jumps awards the player a total of $1,000,000.
GTA Vice City
[edit | edit source]There are 36 unique jumps in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, and are most easily completed using the PCJ 600 motorcycle.
GTA Vice City gives incremental rewards for unique jumps (for the n-th jump, $100*n), and completing the 36th jump awards $10,000.
On the iOS and Android versions of GTA Vice City, when the player completes a jump they have already completed, they are given the "Stunt Already Completed" message.
Grand Theft Auto Advance
[edit | edit source]Being a top-down viewport game, stunt jumps are absent in Grand Theft Auto Advance.
GTA San Andreas
[edit | edit source]There are 70 unique stunt jumps in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
The game has two different stats: 'Unique Stunt Jumps found' which tracks the number of jumps attempted (with slow-motion appearing); and 'Unique Stunt Jumps done' for those completed successfully.
The reward for each unique jump is $500.
Completing Unique Jumps in GTA San Andreas is not necessary for 100% completion.
GTA Liberty City Stories
[edit | edit source]There are 26 stunt jumps in Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories. They are spread evenly throughout the three islands.
Completing the first jump awards $100 and unlocks the "Underwear Outfit". Completing succeeding jumps adds $250 to the reward pool (for the n-th jump, $100+($250*(n-1))). Completing the final jump rewards the player with $10,000 instead of the standard incremental reward.
GTA Vice City Stories
[edit | edit source]The PlayStation 2 and PlayStation Portable versions of Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories differ in the number of jumps. The PSP version contains 30 Stunts, and the PS2 version contains 36.
Completing each stunt jump rewards the player $250. Completing the final jump awards $10,000.
Completed jumps may be displayed on the radar.
HD Universe
[edit | edit source]GTA IV
[edit | edit source]In Grand Theft Auto IV, there are 50 stunt jumps. Completing all 50 will bring the player two ticks closer to 100%. Completing all 50 unlocks the Daredevil achievement, awarding 30 gamerscore on the Xbox 360 and PC or a silver trophy on the PlayStation 3. There is no monetary reward for jumps.
The cinematics that trigger from performing these stunt jumps are still available in The Lost and Damned and The Ballad of Gay Tony, but are otherwise not relevant to the episodes' gameplay.
GTA Chinatown Wars
[edit | edit source]
Each Unique Stunt Jump in Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars requires the player to destroy one of 30 wooden Rusty Brown's Ring Donuts billboards with a vehicle. If a previously destroyed billboard is revisited, it is shown as shoddily-repaired, which indicates that this jumps was already completed.
There is no reward for completing the stunt jumps aside from 100% completion.
Completed jumps may be displayed on the radar.
GTA V
[edit | edit source]There are 50 stunt jumps around the state that can be completed by any of the three protagonists, but only 25 are needed for 100% completion. Completing all 50 earns an achievement.
GTA Online
[edit | edit source]The same 50 jumps available in GTA V can be completed by the player in Grand Theft Auto Online, where certain vehicle modifications are unlocked through progress towards completion.
