Master the 'Damned If You Dont' parachute jump in Grand Theft Auto V. Learn the checkpoint route, landing zone strategy, and how to earn $600.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    You'll start by jumping from a helicopter near Highway 18 in East Vinewood. As soon as you jump, deploy your parachute because the first checkpoint is very close.
  2. 2
    Keep an eye on your radar to see the general direction of the upcoming checkpoints. The first few checkpoints form an anti-clockwise spiral.
  3. 3
    Don't worry too much about hitting the exact center of each checkpoint; there's a good amount of leeway, and they are quite wide. Just aim to get as close as you can.
  4. 4
    If you find yourself too high above a checkpoint, use your speed adjustments to drop faster and catch it.
  5. 5
    Continue navigating through the checkpoints as they transition to a clockwise spiral for the final few.
  6. 6
    As you approach the dam and the landing zone, be extremely careful of the large rocks nearby. Hitting them could ruin your jump.
  7. 7
    Tip: Always switch to precision view when approaching the landing zone. This gives you much finer control for a smoother landing. Aim for the very center of the designated landing area.
Tips
  • Use the radar frequently to track checkpoint locations.
  • Adjust your parachute's speed to correct your altitude relative to the checkpoints.
  • The landing zone is critical; use precision view to avoid obstacles like rocks and land accurately.
