Unique Stunt Jumps
Vice City is packed with opportunities to catch some serious air and earn a little extra cash. There are 36 Unique Stunt Jumps scattered across both islands, each requiring a specific approach to master. Successfully completing all of them is crucial for 100% completion and unlocks a bonus $50,000. This guide will break down each jump, providing precise locations, recommended vehicles, and strategies to ensure you stick the landing every time.
General Tips for Stunt Jumps:
- Vehicle Choice: While many jumps can be completed with a fast car like a Comet or Infernus, some require the agility of a motorcycle (e.g., PCJ 600, Freeway) for precise landings or to clear larger gaps. Always consider the approach and landing zone.
- Speed is Key: Most jumps demand maximum speed. Get a long run-up whenever possible.
- Landing: Aim to land on all four wheels (or two for a motorcycle) to register the jump successfully. Crashing or landing on your roof will often fail the attempt.
- Practice Makes Perfect: Don't get discouraged if you don't nail it on the first try. Vice City is forgiving, and you can retry jumps as many times as needed.
- Map Awareness: Pay close attention to your in-game map. The locations provided below will guide you to the exact spot.
Little Havana Jumps (Western Island)
Jump 1: Little Havana Construction Site
- Location: Directly west of the Little Havana Police Station, within the active construction site.
- Vehicle Recommendation: Any fast car or motorcycle. A PCJ 600 offers excellent control.
- Strategy: Enter the construction site from the east. You'll see a wooden ramp leading up to the second floor of the unfinished building. Gain maximum speed and hit this ramp. Aim to clear the gap and land on the adjacent rooftop or the street beyond.
Jump 2: Little Havana Rooftop Ramp
- Location: On the rooftops in the central part of Little Havana, accessible via a staircase or another ramp. Look for a building with a distinctive red and white striped awning.
- Vehicle Recommendation: A motorcycle like the PCJ 600 is ideal for navigating the rooftops.
- Strategy: Find the access point to the rooftops (often a small ramp or stairs from street level). Once on the roof, locate a concrete ramp pointing towards another building. Build up speed and launch yourself across the gap. The landing zone is a lower rooftop or the street. Precision is key here to avoid falling into the alley below.
Jump 3: Little Havana Alleyway Jump
- Location: In an alleyway running north-south, just west of the main east-west road that cuts through Little Havana. Look for a small, makeshift wooden ramp.
- Vehicle Recommendation: A fast car such as a Comet or Infernus.
- Strategy: Approach the alleyway from the south. You'll spot a short, steep wooden ramp. Get a good run-up down the alley, hit the ramp at full speed, and aim to clear the small building or wall on the other side, landing cleanly on the street.
Downtown Jumps (Western Island)
Jump 4: Downtown Skyscraper Ramp
- Location: On the eastern side of Downtown, near the large skyscraper with the distinctive blue glass. Look for a concrete ramp leading up to a higher level.
- Vehicle Recommendation: A high-performance car like the Infernus or Cheetah.
- Strategy: Drive onto the elevated platform or ramp structure. You'll find a long, sloping concrete ramp. Get a very long run-up, accelerating to maximum speed. Hit the ramp and aim to clear the significant distance over the street below, landing on the opposite side or further down the road. This jump requires considerable speed.
Jump 5: Downtown Construction Crane
- Location: In the large construction zone in the northern part of Downtown, near the stadium. The jump involves a large, yellow construction crane.
- Vehicle Recommendation: A motorcycle (PCJ 600 or Freeway) is highly recommended for precision.
- Strategy: Navigate into the construction site. You'll see a ramp leading up to the base of a massive yellow crane. Drive up this ramp, then carefully position your motorcycle. There's a narrow beam or platform that acts as the final ramp. Gain speed and launch off this, aiming to land on the adjacent building's rooftop. This is one of the trickier jumps due to the narrow approach and landing.
