GTA 5 "Jesus Glitch" Lets You Walk on Water

As demonstrated in the video below from YouTube user BIG Spaz (via Kotaku), the glitch is a seemingly simple one. It allows you to simply walk above the water, but do things properly and you'll effectively be walking right on the water. (Alternatively, you can play Saints Row IV and earn the ability to do so--and at super speed, no less.)

You can also choose to end up much higher above the water, eventually ending up above buildings--undoubtedly presenting problems for GTA Online players. As such, it seems likely that Rockstar will work to patch this exploit, just like they do with every one discovered. A certain one allowed you to access the North Yankton area from the beginning of the single-player. It was a much more involved & helpful process than this water-walking glitch, but allowed you to visit the town as a floating city in the sky which was pretty awesome until Rockstar patched it out. So if you want to try this new glitch for yourself, you should do so soon. In the meantime, consider this rebellious act payback for all those deaths in early GTA games that resulted from ending up in the water, which was fatal until Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.

Grand Theft Auto V is currently available on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, with Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One versions coming this fall. Don't count on this glitch being available in those versions.
