Rockstar’s multiplayer open-world games likeGrand Theft Auto Onlinehave provided massive sandboxes that prove to be the ideal playground for would-be risk-takers and thrill-seekers. Fortunately, as evidenced by thelarge number ofGTA Onlinestunt videosthat have recently made the rounds on social media, it is safe to say that this digital stunt community is still going strong to this day. Now, in yet another display of death-defying virtual stunt work, a thrill-seekingGrand Theft Auto Onlineplayer manages to rebel against gravity and pull off an impressive aerial jump that has now gone viral on Reddit.
For the uninitiated, one of the main reasonsGrand Theft Auto Onlineis still popular to this day is because of the developer’s consistency in adding entertaining content to the game. After all, even after nine years since the game debuted, Rockstar continues to supplement theever-growingGrand Theft Auto Onlinestunt communityby adding brand-new daring activities and jobs to the game via updates. With that said, there’s nothing stopping players from making their own spontaneous fun across the map of Los Santos, which becomes increasingly chaotic when combined with the free roam mode’s access to expensive military vehicles and airliners.

Now, player 3Dducks has posted a short one-minute-long clip onto Reddit that perfectly reinforces this daredevil notion of the game. The video starts with the player soaring through the skies in The Buckingham Pyro, which is a twin-boom fighter jet introduced inGrand Theft Auto Online’sSmuggler’s Run update. The situation takes a crazy turn when the player speeds headfirst towards a radio tower but then steers upwards into the air to climb high above the structure until the Pyro can’t fly any higher and loses altitude.
Going on to leave many gamers amused and stunned atanother flying stunt inGrand Theft Auto Online, 3Dducks defies gravity upon their descent as they steer the Pyro backwards through the air. While this alone would be impressive enough, the player goes on to seemingly float and then land on the top of the radio tower using only the tail of the aircraft. Not only does 3Dducks pull this near-impossible antic off once, but they do the same feat again to close the video off in true showboat fashion.
After uploading the extravaganza filled clip to Reddit, the post quickly amassed over 1,100 upvotes as many users stopped by to applaud 3Dducks on their achievement. In short, the amount of positive attention the community has shown the post wonderfully proves how fun it can be when titles likeGrand Theft Auto Onlineoffer multiplayer services that allow gamers to their own mayhem within a sprawling sandbox, detached from scripted sequences and hand-holding.
Grand Theft Auto Onlineis available now for PC, PS4, and Xbox One with PS5 and Xbox Series X versions releasing March 15.
