Pacific Tour: Parachute Jumps

Learn how to complete the Pacific Tour parachute jumps in Grand Theft Auto V. Get tips on landing accuracy, parachute deployment, and earning rewards.

Alright, so you're looking to try out those parachute jumps in Los Santos? They're a pretty fun way to earn a bit of cash and can be replayed by any of the three characters. To even get started with these, though, you'll need to have finished Franklin's first mission for Dom, called "Risk Assessment." Once that's done, you're good to go!

There's one specific jump we'll cover here, the Pacific Tour jump located in La Puerta, Los Santos. The main goal is to land right in the boat that's waiting for you.

The whole idea behind these jumps is to get as close to the center of the landing zone as possible. The closer you are, the more money you'll get, and a good landing (try not to just splat!) also plays a part. Don't worry about bringing your own parachute; one will be provided for you when you start the mission.

For this particular jump, landing in the boat is key. Even if you don't nail a perfect landing and maybe tumble into it, you'll still get 100% accuracy and the full reward of $200. So, hitting the boat is the main thing.

Here's a pro tip: let yourself fall for a good while before you open your parachute. If you open it too early, you'll end up circling the boat, which can get tricky and might even lead to you getting caught up in trees or power lines. If you do pop your chute a bit too soon, don't sweat it – you can press up on the controls to descend a bit faster. As you get closer to the boat, use the precision controls to fine-tune your aim and get ready for a smooth landing. The boat isn't moving much, so you've got some room to make those last-second adjustments.
