Glitch Fight In GTA 5

This is the most abused glitch in GTA V’s fights. Players specifically utilize this glitch in the Freemode of GTA 5.

A glitch fight, otherwise known as Sprint punches, happens when players flood the opponents with non-stop punches without letting the punch animation finish. Consequently, the opponent feels helpless and dominated.

  • I usually use this glitch in the self-created Parkour mode in Freemode of the game.
  • Most opponents will try to run away when you spam them with non-stop punches using this glitch fight.
  • However, they mostly fail because they are already under attack and cannot escape. Eventually, they give up, or I end up knocking them out.
  • It is an easy trick to do and comes in handy in many hand-to-hand combats in GTA 5.
  • However, this trick does not always work. Opponents can use certain tricks to avoid the knockdown.

Hand-to-hand Combat

  • Hand-to-hand combat is pretty standard, especially in Freemode. Players can go around punching and picking fights with other players.
  • Moreover, it is an essential skill that every player should master to survive close combats during heists. The most prominent missions are heist missions. They bring in a lot of monetary rewards to the players. However, players must pick specific crews for every heist in GTA 5.

How To Master Hand-To-Hand Combat

It is easy to master hand-to-hand combat in GTA 5. It is all about dodging the opponent’s attacks and attacking them when they are off-guard. Before we get back to discussing how to glitch fight, here is a step-by-step guide to mastering hand-to-hand-combat:

  • The crux of hand-to-hand combat is surviving the opponent’s attacks by dodging them and attacking them when you find a chance.
  • Try to stay in the fight as long as possible by making sure to dodge the attacks from opponents.
  • Remember that a few perfectly landed punches can knock down the opponents. Therefore, always manage to land perfect punches whenever you get a chance.
  • You can also use certain melee weapons in your fights. Knife, hammers, and axes of various kinds, along with other types of melees, are available in the game.
  • You can get more melee weapons through in-game purchases. Most melee weapons often kill opponents with one hit. However, some weapons may have to be employed more than once to eliminate opponents.
  • I suggest you practice with NPCs in the city to master hand-to-hand combat.
