In the vast world of Grand Theft Auto V, Trevor Philips is tasked by the enigmatic Maude to track down Glenn Scoville, a cunning fugitive perched atop the majestic Mount Chiliad. As Scoville prepares to take the leap of faith in a daring base jump, players must navigate the treacherous mountain terrain and outsmart their target to claim the lucrative bounty. Will you capture him alive or let him take the plunge? Dive into this thrilling mission to find out.
Availability: Trevor
Location: This mission is available some time after finishing the secondary mission Maude: Larry Tupper. You have to wait for an e-mail and information about sought person location from Maude. Glenn Scoville is on the one of the most unavailable locations of this world, next to the top of Mount Chiliad (screen above).
At the top of mountain you can get in two basic ways: using cable-railway or riding via one of the slopes with motorcycle or quad. Whatever you choose, search the vicinity of the railway and pick up a parachute (screen above), because it will help you catch Glenn.
Don’t forget to open the parachute!
Glenn stands a bit on south from the railway station and if you want to kill, fire at him before he starts escaping. Otherwise, run to him and then jump from the top and open the parachute. Try to move in a way not to lose the runaway.
Catch Glenn and knock him down
Try to land as closest to the Glenn so you won’t waste a lot of time for catching up with him. If Trevor has highly developed Stamina, he should be able to take him on his own. Otherwise, find any vehicle quickly and get the runaway. After that, take Glenn to Maude.
Reward for this mission:
- 10000 dollars (less if you killed Glenn)
What makes Glenn Scoville so elusive in GTA V
Glenn Scoville is considered an elusive target in Grand Theft Auto V for several reasons:
-
Location: He is located at the top of Mount Chiliad, which is a challenging area to reach. Players must either use the cable car system or find alternative means like a helicopter or motorcycle to ascend the mountain.
-
Parachute Escape: Once Trevor approaches, Glenn jumps off the mountain with a parachute, requiring the player to follow suit and chase him mid-air. This adds an element of urgency and complexity to the mission.
-
Adrenaline Junkie Behavior: Glenn’s love for adrenaline-fueled activities, such as base jumping, makes him unpredictable and more difficult to capture alive. His actions are influenced by his association with Dom Beasley, who taught him to be an adrenaline junkie.
-
Potential for Glitches: Some players have reported issues with Glenn not appearing at the designated location, which can be frustrating and make the mission even more elusive.
What happens if I fail to catch Glenn Scoville
If you fail to catch Glenn Scoville in Grand Theft Auto V, several outcomes can occur:
-
Death of Glenn Scoville: If you accidentally push him off the cliff or fail to follow him properly during the parachute chase, he may die. This results in a failed mission, and you won’t receive the full bounty reward for capturing him alive.
-
Mission Failure: If Glenn escapes or dies, the mission is considered failed. You can retry the mission by returning to the location and attempting to capture him again.
-
Loss of Bounty: Capturing Glenn alive yields a higher reward. If he dies, you might only receive a portion of the bounty or none at all, depending on the circumstances.
-
Glitch Issues: Some players have reported glitches where Glenn doesn’t appear or behaves erratically, which can complicate the mission. In such cases, reloading a previous save or restarting the mission might be necessary.
To avoid these issues, it’s crucial to carefully follow Glenn during the parachute chase and ensure you capture him alive by using non-lethal methods like a stun gun or carefully aiming a single shot to incapacitate him12.
