Master the 'What Goes Up' parachute jump in GTA V! Learn the best time to deploy your chute and how to land precisely on the moving truck for the max reward.

Alright, let's tackle the 'What Goes Up' parachute jump in Grand Theft Auto V. This one's a bit of a tricky one, but we'll get you through it. You'll find yourself on top of a crane in Pillbox Hill, Downtown Los Santos, with a moving truck as your target. The goal is to jump off the crane and land squarely on that truck to snag the $200 reward.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    First things first, you're on the crane in Pillbox Hill. You can jump from pretty much anywhere on the crane, but try to avoid the area right above the ladder opening unless you're feeling extra brave.
  2. 2
    As you jump and start falling, you'll want to steer slightly to the right of the building you're near. If you don't, you'll smack right into it and fail the mission.
  3. 3
    Now, pay close attention to when you open your parachute. Look for the point where a new section of the building appears on your left – specifically, after you pass the blue and black section. This is crucial for getting your descent angle right.
  4. 4
    Once your chute is open, steer yourself so you avoid hitting the skyscraper directly in front of you. You'll want to quicken your descent a bit until you can clearly see the truck below.
  5. 5
    As you get closer to the truck, ease up on your speed. You don't want to be plummeting down too fast, or you'll likely bounce right off the side and fail. Use the precision targeting view (slow motion) to get a good look at where you need to land. You can still adjust your speed by gently pushing the control stick up or down in this view.
Tips
  • This mission is tough, so don't get discouraged if you don't nail it on the first try. The timing for the parachute deployment and the final landing is key.
  • Using the building on your left as a visual cue when you open your chute can really help you nail the height and angle, even if you have to replay it a few times.
  • Precision is everything for the landing. Take your time in the slow-motion view to line up your descent perfectly with the moving truck.
