20 Biggest WTF Moments In GTA History

9. "Body Harvest"

GTA Body Harvest
Rockstar Games

The first mission given to CJ by The Truth in GTA: San Andreas is a fairly simple task: steal a combine harvester from a farm run by survivalists. In true GTA fashion this obviously fails to be so straightforward and a firefight ensues, but it's what happens when players have control of the vehicle that's most shocking in this mission.

While driving the combine harvester back to The Truth, players are able to kill farmers or other pedestrians with it by running them down and having their mangled remains spit out through the back like a gory hay bale.

By now it's hard to be surprised by something so gruesome appearing in a Rockstar game, but at the time of release this was still a fairly big shock. Following the huge backlash that followed the studio's 2003 game Manhunt, Rockstar's move to include such gore was a massive statement of intent that they would not allow themselves to be dramatically censored.
