10 Impossible Video Game Levels Made Easy With One Simple Tweak
2. Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas
The Level: Supply Lines
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas is notorious for the difficulty, no, the impossibility of the Supply Lines mission. The level was so hard, the voice actor who can be heard throughout the level absolutely hated it. When the game was re-released years later, Rockstar altered it to make it easier, which is a good indication this was a tough mission.
The mission sounds easy enough: fly an RC plane into a van to blow it up. The problem came with controlling the plane. It was ridiculously difficult to control, and the thing ran out of fuel on a whim.
Not to mention, there's a time limit, which makes these sorts of levels even harder. Many a player rage-quit the game because of Supply Lines, and if you've ever tried to play it, you probably know why.
The Tweak: Gliding.
It's natural to pull the throttle to try and make your way to the van, but this will result in failure all the time. You need to learn to glide as much as is humanly possible.
Gliding is the only way you can reserve enough fuel to find the van and blow it up. If you rely on your fuel too much, you won't pass Supply Lines, and there's a good chance you'll go mad trying.
