When it comes to flying in GTA Online<\/a>, I\u2019m only good at heading in one direction \u2013down. I\u2019d consider it an achievement to land a plane without overshooting the runway, or set down a helicopter without catching the rotors in the world geometry and turning the vehicle into a giant frag grenade.<\/p>\n

So I was blown away by reddit user Boltrax\u2019s short yet scintillating compilation of flying GTA Online\u2019s \u2018Havok\u2019 helicopter through the game\u2019s least helicopter-friendly areas. Posted under the title \u2018Going where I\u2019m not supposed to with the havok\u2019<\/a>, the video sees Boltrax threading the needle under terrifyingly low bridges and through ridiculously narrow tunnels.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

It may only be short, exactly one minute long, but it\u2019s possibly the most thrilling film I\u2019ve seen all year. At one point, Boltrax swoops beneath a road-bridge so low that the Havok\u2019s rotors scrape the underside of the bridge. The last ten seconds of the video, meanwhile, see Boltrax whipping through a railway tunnel which, as pointed out by another user further down the thread, visually resembles the trench-run at the end of Star Wars.<\/p>\n

Boltrax isn\u2019t the only Havok ace to appear in the thread either. Another user, NoRagrets4Me, links to several of their own videos piloting the Havok through entirely unsuitable areas, including a canal <\/a>and a construction site<\/a>. His clips aren\u2019t as propulsive as Boltrax\u2019s 60 second action-movie, but it\u2019s some impressively controlled flying nonetheless.<\/p>\n

GTA Online has a well-established community of virtual stuntpeople, Joe Donnelly explored the game\u2019s daredevil subculture<\/a> a few years back, while the game itself provided more official support for stunts in the form of a TrackMania-esque stunt-racing mode<\/a> around the same time. Given GTA V is almost ten-years-old now, it\u2019s amazing how much players can still squeeze out of Los Santos.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
