gtafreak102 Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Okay, I'm going to try out myths. Myths like "Can a motorcycle accident kill on impact?". If anyone replies with a myth, I'll test it out. And then I'll reply back with the result. Sounds good? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexGTAGamer Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Here's a myth/question I've been thinking about for a while now, does wearing a motorcycle helmet actually decrease the amount of damage you sustain from an accident or do you still take the same amount of damage that you would without a helmet?

gtafreak102 Posted June 16, 2011 Author Share Posted June 16, 2011 No, you get the same amount of damage with the helmet on. You lose about 3/4 of your health without the helmet. With the helmet you lose about the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonnyBlack Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 I have one, I've been trying to test it but it's been proving to be a bit difficult. Is it possible to die from gunfire while descending in a parachute? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XTREME0235 Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 (edited) I have one, I've been trying to test it but it's been proving to be a bit difficult. Is it possible to die from gunfire while descending in a parachute? Yes I can actually confirm this one. I was in a game the other day on TBoGT for the Xbox 360 and I was online just doing my own thing. Then I saw this guy parachuting from an average sized building (high enough to get a decent jump) as soon as I saw him I got my AK47 out and started to shoot him. It was difficult to do as I had to aim just in front of the player due to connection reasons. I killed him and said "Yay" with a smile on my face.

sonnyBlack Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 That's been bugging me for a while because the cops in the choppers never seem to wanna fire at me when I have my chute out, so thanks for confirming it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the helmet you lose about the same thing. Okay thanks for that, that question has been bugging me for quite a while and I've never got the chance to try it out for myself.

Just tested it out it's plausible. sonnyBlack how you do it is, you go to that place in Easton where those two guards are. Put on your parachute. Go behind it and you'll instantly get a **** wanted level. If you have the Buzzard cheat, use it and fly up not too high but not too low. Jump. Use the chute. If you did it correctly they'll aim at you and shoot, killing you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spaceeinstein Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 (edited) The helmet will prevent damage when you land on your head but it doesn't protect against any other bodily damage. It's like landing on your feet will let you live while landing on your back from the same exact height will kill you. Different body parts are damaged differently.

With the helmet you lose about the same thing. False, in GTA IV I never bothered to use the helmet, Once I fell on my head and died instantly with full Health! Then I accidentally had my helmet on, fell on head, and lost just a few of health! Now I wear Helmet all the time in TBoGT and Vanilla, I wish they were in TLAD too... But only when riding a bike ...

gaytonysmydad Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 Surviving a massive fall I've done this on multiple occasions by accident i just want to know P.S. If your about 2 run into a building when parachuting just use the air brakes and you wont fall to your death Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it possible to fall in the helicopter (like when the blades fall off), and jump out right before you hit the ground, and survive? Yeah, this one is possible and I know frm experience. I was playing online and someone messed up the chopper while piloting it. So the propellers break and the chopper starts fallng, at the right timing I jump out and survive losing part of my health while the guy in the chopper dies from the crash.

Grand Theft Autopsy Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 if you look on Jade st road near the hospital or Columbus Ave near Star junction , theres this guy who really resembles the truth guy, he even has the brown bandana and the checkered white and brown shirt. He says stuff about the epislon (spelling?) cult and about how he was probed by aliens. He also talks about how the goverment will put chips in our brains and that he saw it. this is no coincidence,he has about 5 or 6 unique short stories he says. The crazy thing is that hes talking directly to you by starting his sentences saying , '' You there, yeah you" and talking and facing directly at you. just check it out guys, after that day i havent seen him since.

Yeah, they're all over the place; there's one outside the Bohan safehouse, and they can be found near the stairs of some underground train stations, and one stands at the door of the small chapel in North Alderney.

tranceking26 Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 Is it true that you can fall from a very tall building & survive (with full health b4 jumping) I'm sure I've done that & the only way to survive is landing on a car? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I survived a fall from the top of a building once because I was on fire and I also survived fall from the top of the Rotterdam Tower because when I jumped I hit a ledge and then Niko sort of glitched out so when he fell to the ground he only took damage from when he hit the ledge.

How do you choose whether or not to wear a helmet ? I always thought the game made that choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XTREME0235 Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 How do you choose whether or not to wear a helmet ? When you press Y, X or F (depending on console, F for PC) if you don't press anything while your character is getting on the bike, the helmet will be placed on, if you however for example press the accelerator whilst the character is climbing on then the helmet won't be put on. You have complete control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woodwolf Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 When I'm out 'grinding meat' ( ) I like using a Hummer (Patriot). There are 2 different ones (other than N.O.O.S.E.). One has lights on top ands a grille-guard in front. Is this one more powerful\faster and does it take more punishment than the 'plain' one ?

This animation blocks ragdolling and falling damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
