The Swingset Cannon – Grant Theft Auto IV

Recommended Videos

Rockstar Games have their fair share of glitches, but none more infamous than the swingset launcher from Grand Theft Auto IV.

It’s a simple glitch to pull off: press a vehicle against any one of the swingsets around Liberty City (the best one is at the Firefly Projects Park), and there’s a good chance that you’ll be launched several hundred yards away.

Sometimes, player-character Niko will fly out of the vehicle mid-flight, crashing catastrophically into a brick wall before the car explodes. Other times, he stays in the car the whole flight, tumbling through the streets before miraculously landing on all four wheels.

It’s such an unpredictable glitch, which is exactly what makes it so much fun.
