For the traditional triathlon events in GTA V, see Triathlon.
Triathlons are multi-leg, multi-vehicle checkpoint races introduced to Luis after the mission This Ain't Checkers in The Ballad of Gay Tony.
Description[]
Triathlons are multi-vehicle races comprised of 3 stages; Sky diving, powerboat and street racing. The races are marked on the map by a checkered flag in BOABO, Charge Island and Normandy. Upon walking through the starting sign, the player will immediately be airlifted into the sky, given a Parachute, and instructed to jump from the helicopter. Once the player parachutes to the ground, boats will be waiting in the sea or river below, and the racers will attempt to land in them. The boats are raced to a beach on the island, where there are supercars loaded with tanks of nitrous oxide waiting. The cars are then raced to the finish line.
Unlike Beat the Cock! in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, completing the triathlons is required for 100% Completion.
Available vehicles are :
Boats
Cars
Rules[]
- Outstanding wanted levels will be erased at the start of the race.
- Each race has three opponents. They all jump out of the airlift before Luis.
- Players can use any of the vehicles prepared for them, but once one is selected, they cannot switch it for another prepared vehicle or traffic vehicle.
- Players have ten seconds to return to their vehicle, should they leave it before the finish line or the vehicle switch point.
- Players may sabotage other vehicles (popping tires, denting in wheels, so on), but they cannot be destroyed.
- Players will be disqualified if they kill the other racers or destroy their vehicle.
Rewards[]
First prize grants the player $1,000. The game will also be saved and the player will be shown their time to completion. Triathlons can be repeated endlessly.
Bugs/Glitches[]
- There is a glitch in the Charge Island race which will cause the player to dangle indefinitely while inside the helicopter.
Trivia[]
- When driving the set cars in the triathlons, if the player hits the brakes while driving any of the cars in the triathlon, the brake discs will glow bright red, similar to high performance vehicles in real life. This is only scripted for the activity and cannot be seen otherwise.
