Throughout January and February 2023 I conducted an experiment in GTA Online testing what was safe from the Orbital Cannon. I conducted this experiment because I saw that no one else had done something like this and therefore I would do it myself.
You can view the experiment on YouTube or Odysee.
Total cost: $110,250,000
Total locations tested: 333
I got the first few locations done in December but the person that helped me with those wasn't on after that so I decided to go on PSNProfiles and create a session asking for help. Someone joined that and after thinking it was for the trophy, he decided to help me anyways in exchange for getting him trophies. I later edited the session saying I would help people with their trophies in exchange for helping me. In the early days of the experiment, I also came across a random that told me to invite them to my organization after resupplying my hangar. They later also helped me with the experiment and they and the first guy from the session were the primary helpers during the experiment. Some others joined my session but only one actually bothered to help me and he only helped with a few locations.
To get footage, I used the PS4 game recording and saved three minutes of footage per clip and trimmed it down by the second in the gallery. I then copied it via USB to my computer. Also I would go and take screenshots of the locations and copied those to. I then took all the footage and screenshots from one neighborhood/area and compiled it into a single video in Kdenlive while trimming it more. After all the footage was taken and all the neighborhood videos were rendered, I then put them all into one giant video and after fixing some mistakes, rendered the final video and published it. The final render took 2:31:24. The USB I was using also died mid-copy from PS4 to USB on 2023-2-8 and this is why you always keep backups.
