GTA 5 players should check on their stats in the game every once in a while as there might be some surprising findings. The stats, which are on the pause menu, accumulated everything you’ve done in GTA 5 from the number of deaths to headshot kills.
One player did a random check and to his surprise, his fastest speed recorded is 1,786MPH in the game. The Redditor known as –bam shared this on the highly popular discussion website and fans are amazed by it.
The thread master revealed that it happened after the tank he was driving experienced a glitch. It shot the vehicle of mass destruction high up into the air which resulted in the speed achieved. Some players who are mathematical prodigies did some calculation and agreed that the tank actually traveled 32KM up into the air. This is equivalent to 1/5 of the distance to space. On another note, if the tank was shot at a 45degrees angle, it can travel 65KM in just 2 minutes.
Mathematical formulas and scientific theories aside, players agree that GTA 5’s physics is not accurate at all. It can be said that GTA 5’s 60MPH is like our 1MPH.
It is unsure on what could have triggered the glitch but players who can repeat doing so can try going to GTA Online and create a game called, “will the tank land on me?” The tank will fly and friends of the players should start running in random direction in a bid to avoid getting in the tank’s way.
