Controlling Vehicles in Stunt Position

While in stunt position on a land vehicle it is possible to control the direction that the vehicle goes in by moving the left stick in the direction you would like. This is not stated in any of the games manuals or tutorials, and is likely to not be found by most players. This doesn't work on air vehicles.

Freefall Landing with No Parachute

When free falling there is no need to use the parachute. If you are trying to get that extra couple feet to hit a certain distance, just grapple the ground once you get within range. Regardless of the height you will safely touch down.

Hot air balloon

Go to coordinates X7392, Y16151. Note: You can also find an armor piece near the balloon. You can ride the balloon by shooting off the sandbags and steer it by waking in the basket. Note: Unlike other vehicles, the hot air balloon can be used to fly over the Lost island without getting destroyed.

Lost reference

When flying too far over the northwestern island, lightning will hit your plane, destroying it. Stunt Jump out of it or you might die from hitting the wings or other parts of the plane. While slowly going down you will find the crashed airliner Oceanic 815 and the word "search" written on the beach (at coordinates X1275, Y3663). Run into the jungle to find the hatch (at coordinates X1769, Y4351), as well as hear the sounds of the "black smoke" monster. You can actually find an NPC with smoke coming out of him near coordinates X2276, Y1685.

Mile High Club

Go to coordinates X29584, Y11435 to find a strip club suspended by dual blimps.

Plane Landing

Aircraft can be landed if you manage to reduce your speed and approach a smooth surface; the landing gear will automatically appear if your aircraft can land at that location.

Quick Stunt Points

Method 1: Get a fast car or motorcycle and get on a highway or long road. Drive on the side of the highway you're supposed to be on, dodge traffic or stay in the middle of the lane and just speed and Stunt Points should come in really fast.

Method 2: Go to the Panau Int. Airport and get the sports car at the entrance and drive it to a runway. Once a plane appears, go into the stunt position and use the grappling hook to attach the car to the plane. Once this is done, enter the car. The plane takes off with car in tow. The points begin to rack up quickly. As long as you don't release the grapple from the plane your car will just fly along with the plane.

Safe freefall landings without parachutes

You do not need to use a parachute while free falling. Grapple the ground when you are close to safely land, regardless of the distance that you fell.

On the island you can find numerous references to Lost, including plane wreckage of Oceanic Flight 815, familiar settings like the stream. You'll hear sounds of the Smoke Monster as you explore too. There's even a hatch to be found!

The Winstons (band) reference
