Under the Bridge

Last Edited by TreeFitty April 07, 2014 : 1 Comments : 82,189 Views

Put your piloting skills to the test by flying under various bridges across Los Santos and Blaine County. There are 50 locations to complete (Note: only 25 are needed for 100% but all 50 are needed for the trophy/achievement). Not every bridge you see is one of these and a couple you would probably never notice. Below is a general map of the locations. It is broken down into smaller areas to make it a little easier:

Tips:

  • Helicopters such as the Maverick or Frogger are your best choice for most of these. Easier ones can be done with small airplanes such as the Mallard (stunt plane) and a few noted above are better done with a Buzzard for its small main rotor.
  • It is a very good idea to use a character with maximum flying skills (such as Trevor).
  • You may wish to have Franklin or Michael purchase a hanger at LSX and store aircraft there. This way you can easily get back to task after a crash since Trevor's airfield is a little further away. If you don't mind loading times or want to have a "perfect" save file without deaths you can also quick save before each attempt.
  • Line up your flight path a good distance away from the target. For helicopters try to get plenty of forward motion and use the accelerator triggers to control height.
  • Many of these can be done in series such as the ones along rivers. Keep up your forward speed.
  • Your flight path doesn't need to be straight under the bridge and a few have multiple openings to choose from.
  • You cannot touch other objects (such as the bridge supports) too much while moving under the bridge. For instance if your helicopter blades scrape the supports for more than a second you will not complete it successfully. If you have trouble use a smaller aircraft such as the Buzzard. You can also try moving fast through the bridge (minimizing time the rotors scrape) but this may take several attempts to accomplish successfully.
  • If you take a little too much damage, try SWITCHing to another character and then back to quickly repair your aircraft in place.
  • Note: Even if you crash after going through the bridge, listen for the objective complete sound or check your stats (Pause menu > Stats > Vehicle) after respawn.
