Glitches usually interrupt players and ruin their gameplay experience. That’s not the case here, though; the launch glitch in skate. has become a vessel of fun and accessibility instead. Fans are hoping Full Circle doesn’t patch it like the previous methods.
This glitch launches you into the sky and lets you skydive to wherever you want on the map. Wanna climb a skyscraper in no time, or get that massive airtime for a trick? Say no more. By the end of this guide, you’ll be able to do just that and more. This new method’s a bit trickier, so don’t worry if it takes a few attempts.
So, dive in with me below as I guide you through the exact steps of doing the season 1 launch glitch in skate.
How To Do The Season 1 Launch Glitch
Fans were left disappointed when the original method was patched in the recent season 1 update. I mean, being able to skydive anywhere on the map? Flying was half the fun of the glitch, apart from it saving you the stress of climbing skyscrapers.
No need for the sad faces just yet; there’s still a working method to the launch glitch. Follow the steps below:
- Start by making your way over to the Hedgemont area marked on the map.
- After arriving at the location, you’ll see a yellow monkey bar chilling between two ramps. The idea is to climb into that little spot just ahead of the yellow monkey bar, before the railing.
- Once there, drop your skateboard down towards the ledge (Xbox: Press RB / PlayStation: Press R1) — Repeat until your skateboard hangs on two wheels by the ledge.
- Once you’ve got the board stuck in place, just hop down from the ledge. Walk right up to the board and jump while mashing Y on Xbox or Triangle on PlayStation controllers. If done right, the board pops loose and sends you off flying.
Honestly, it’s all about the angles. Alas, don’t worry if you don’t get it right the first few tries; it’s a glitch after all. So, keep messing around with variations until you find the right one.
Once launched, you find yourself soaring through the air. So, follow the steps below if you want to maximize the glitch advantage for the future:
- When flying in the air, simply set a session marker by pressing/holding D-Pad Up
- Pressing the D-Pad Up reloads to that session marker and lets you fly anywhere, again. Super handy if you ask me.
Fly like a bird, get on top of your favorite skyscraper, oh, and don’t forget to clip the insane journey.
