Found a usless wall breach on top of Arcadeus Towers

[FrugalDangerMan]

The building in question is the Arcadeus Towers (Westin Bonaventure):

 

When on the roof, get to the lowest level of the center tower and walk to the railing before the west tower. You are looking to stand right in front of this bar on the railing:

 

you want to jump over this and land on top of the section of the roof ledge before it makes a left turn to circle this exterior tower:

 

If you jump you will go right through and land inside the building resulting in the following views:

 

Exiting requires you to walk to the center of the building and falling to your death. I really cant see any functionality to being in here. You're too high up to take on cops and I guess you could use it as a snipers nest, but there are very few really good sight lines. Also, that would be cheating. And I can not condone such actions.

Wonder if you can get killed from jet strafe explosions in it?

 

Maybe a place to hide with a bounty for a few minutes but then, hiding with a bounty is kinda silly considering you can do 90% of missions and get paid more.

Thank you. It was a fluke that I even found it. Decided to try and replicate it before posting and it was easy to do. Now that I know it exists, I'll refrain from using it. It's a curiosity I figured people on here would like to know about.

Could you pinpoint it on the map please?

I've been to that building. Completely useless, combat wise.

 

Honestly.

I found a useless wall breach on top of the building across the road (south) from the main hospital near the main LSC.

 

 

 

 

 

The only way to get there is by air.

 

You get in by walking through the corner piece.

 

You can shoot through all the walls except the one at the back with the un-openable door.

 

SWAT guys will calmly walk through that breach so you're not completely safe from them.

Sweet.

 

I love useless wall breaches!

[Furry_Monkey]

I had some time between breakfast and leaving for work. It still works on next gen and I agree - the only way to get there is by air. Big air.

No access to maps at the moment. But this link will give you more pictures and location details

 

It's in the north west section of the main skyscraper "core" of the city, south of the main highway that cuts right through the center east/west. You can see it from the roof of the Maze Bank Tower. Look north west. It has a tallish middle circular tower with three shorter circular exterior towers. You can see elevators traveling up and down on the outside of the building. Once you know where it is, you'll wonder why you even asked.

 

It's based on an iconic skyscraper/hotel in Los Angeles: The Westin Bonaventure (the actual building has 4 exterior towers however).

 

Here's another picture with surrounding roads that might point you in the right direction:

 

The tower this breach worked on for me is the one that's on the left side of the building in the picture above. The top of this tower is great for sniping people entering and leaving the LSC by the mall (also pictured).
