BAM!-Your vehicle was turned into scrap metal by a freight train while cruising down Los Santos, minding one’s own business-that was the fate of one unlucky GTA Online player, and the clip has gamers all hyped.
The video is brought to us by Redditor MaximusGrassimus. It shows a player racing down a road parallel to the train tracks. Everything seems normal until-WHAM-A train appears literally out of nowhere (or rather almost out of nowhere thanks to the shitty spawn system) and elevates the car away. Classic GTA madness.
The comments were beyond hilarious. Some empathized: Triumph Games tweet said, “That train has no chill. 😅,” while others, like Shaga, said, “he wasn’t the only one ðŸ˜.” And KGeN Community, waxed lyrical about the past: “we’ll miss this in GTA 6🥲.”
But then, let’s be honest, it is not pure misfortune. GTA Online trains have been causing mayhem on unsuspecting players for years now. Be it wonky spawning, invisible hitboxes, or just pure audacity that a locomotive would turn up in the middle of a race, these iron beasts are ultimate pranksters. As Nova Rift put it: “Gotta love the standard GTA Jank. Invisible trains are just the beginning!”
Some believed there might have been hacking involved: “This had to be on PC by a hacker lmao 😂.” While Trial Xtreme gave some sound advice: “Should’ve just jumped it 🙈.” Spoiler alert, it rarely works. Reborn, meanwhile, quite well summarized the effect: “mood ruined, would’ve shut it down for the night.”
Then there was, from jadentyoung, “Why was he speeding?” Honestly? In GTA, speed is life-until it is death by speed train.
The clip sparked discussions about the VIP status of GTA Online. Ghoulish Cowboy called it “some of the most fun I’ve had on any multiplayer game ever,” while one_trumpet_guy argued that “RDR2 online is better” (a bold statement that we’re fine letting slide).
So, what’s the lesson here? Always expect the unexpected in GTA Online. Trains, griefers, orbital cannons: its Los Santos-a lawless wasteland where chaos reigns. And really?-that’s why we keep coming back.
In that case, excuse us as we boot up GTA Online and… probably stay far away from trains. Or not? That would be where the fun stops.
