Exploding stairs

Recommended Posts

I don't if this has been mentioned or not. I couldn't really find anything on it.

 

Go to the airport in LS (I'm sure you can do this at other airports, this just happens to be where I did it)

 

Find this staircase

Get a Baggage car and yuo can hook up to the staircase and drive it around

Now drive down the runway and then start whpping the stair around and it'll disconnect from the Baggage car and fall over

Once it does, watch it hop and flop around...it might even end up landing upright

After a while it'll catch fire and then explode

The only thing those stairs are really good for is blowing up, or re-entering an AT-400.

 

I'm pretty sure it's easier to get it to freak out if you put one of those baggage cars in between the stairs and whatever you use to tow it. And I think you can use the Baggage handler, or the Tug.

@SWEETSAPRIK

Baggage Handler. Thank you. I was trying to remember the full name of it when I wrote this and could only remember the 'baggage' part.

Actually wolf I think you're right.

In real life it'd be called a "baggage handler", but I think in the game it's just called "baggage."

(EDIT)

Just checked, it's just "Baggage" in the game.

This is old news to me.

 

Ah well, if people enjoy it. I myself find the prospect of exploding stairs extremely hilarious.

You cant enter them because think about it, the trucks trailers can explode but you cant enter thoes. You could also just explode it normaly and even after its exploded its funny to watch it bounce around

No, there are a few of them.

I know there is at least one at the airport in LS, and at least one at the airport in SF. I'm not sure about the airport in LV.

 

But there are also stairs that don't blow up, they are the immobile ones like the ones you use for a unique jump.

I can't find any baggage carts to hook up to

Yeah, I just tried to hook up a Tug to the stairs and the baggage carts and got nothing. I guess I just imagined that. confused.gif

 

As for the carts, you can usually find two of them in the SF airport by a Baggage (handler) and a Shamal. By the two hangars nearest to the helicopters. I also tried to hook up a Baggage (handler) to the baggage carts and the stairs, but for some reason the baggage (handlers) and the baggage carts refused to spawn. Also weird.

 

I know that there are at least two stairs that spawn at the SF airport. One by the hangar that houses the Dodo and Rustler, and one near the Nevada closest to the terminal. Although they don't seem to spawn consistantly, I'm not sure if it's the direction you come at them from, or if it's just whether or not you have something in tow already..

Thats really neat I didn't know you could even do that at all. I wonder if the forklift could trasnport stairs it sure would look funny. Good looking out. I havent baan able to play San Andreas for so long my friends got my copy. sad.gif

 

dozingoff.gif One more thing No offence people but please don't post "this is old" if somebody else already stated that. We only need to see it once to get the point. If you feel that you are smarter than everyone else then go be a contender on "Starsearch".

I'm still not sure what exactly makes it/them spawn sometimes as compared to others, but I did manage to get a Baggage (handler) to tow two baggage carts, and a set of stairs all at once. It just took 20 minutes of driving around to and from both stair locations until the stairs finally spawned. Not really worth all the effort.

 

Sorry about the crap quality, but I'm far too lazy to go through all the AR MAX disc switching, usb drive transfering, gallery.dat extracting business right now. So I hope the pics of my TV are acceptable.

But yeah, for some reason it reminds me of in cartoons (simpsons, family guy, etc.) where something crashes into a tree, and the tree explodes.

I've known this for a while (since PS2), and it's very interesting to see the Tugstairs go bouncing around then it explodes. Here's a self-made caption made for the tugstairs exploding for no known reason, made by yours truly:

 

Airport Mechanic: "Is the stairs OK?" Worker: "We found a problem with it, apparently a fault in the stairs. I wish it would work for once..."

Those are regular vehicles so no glitch and this is pretty old for me. The little baggage carts can also explode like the stairs. The Tug has no apparent use in this game. Edited by spaceeinstein
