Gta 5 Challenge - Survive The Hunt #39 - Get To The Chopper! 

I've been sat on this idea for a while now so I'm getting it in while I can. Since the next one, episode 40 will fall the day after halloween I feel the Pink Priis should be replaced with orange and green pantos to look like Pumpkins. And hunters should have scary looking cars. Maybe even some Franken Strange and Lurchers.

The whole sequence from 12:00 is absolutely hysterical. I can just imagine how the hunters' excitement turned to confusion after they very understandably thought they had Alex cornered for once, only for it to turn out to be an AI acting exactly *like* Alex, while *real* Alex watches on from only a few feet away. Amazing.

As a blimp pilot this was eventful. Firstly, Alex: "I can't see a blimp yet, not even in the distance" 20 seconds earlier Chris: Blows up blimp Secondly, I was getting a drink at the farmyard House. Thirdly at the end, I'd seen the chopper. Landed.......And then run myself over with the blimp.

the silly buggers around the buildings and the train getaway was the most genius moment on entire RU-vid

This is definitely one of the best STH. Car park shenanigans and a seriously sneaky getaway in a train.

Show of hands, how many think Alex should have blown the 4th pri? Of course, the rules about line of sight would not apply. After the train escape, that would have been an epic flex.

Alex. "I have some new clothes" .. proceeds to put on a leather jacket and jeans very very similar to what he already owns XD

I think this StH set the official record for "shortest chase ever". Remarkable considering the Hunters pretty much had you pinned down just moments before. Really, between the Car Park Kerfuffle, the Express Escape, and the Unintentional Blimp Roadblock, this whole thing felt like a massive comedy of errors on Hunter Team's part.

"I need to swap cars. I have a lunatic of an idea." Before you said motorcycle, I thought you would have stolen the Prie 🤣

The mayhem in the car park! The hunters must be kicking themselves watching this back. I was hoping you would've hid in the shrubs and blew it up the Pri as they were leaving, just as a troll.

17:10 was like a jumpscare. I was like "How did they find him?!?!"

"There is a lunatic strategy we could go for..." Steal that Pri and escape in it? Awwwww.

I appreciate how honest the NPCs in GTA V are. "Can I have some money? It's for Crack."

25:00 An episode late, but we finally have The Great Train -Robbery- Escape!

Rules be damned; had you shot the pilot and blimpjacked your way to victory, I would have called it fair play.

This could not have gone better. Can't wait to hear the hunters POV's.

“There is a lunatic strategy.” I thought he was gonna say take the Prius.

24:54 That is actually the first time I have been applauding in front of my PC! Niiiiice Job!

I shall hence forth add 'What the physics?" to my lexicon of atheistically responsible swears.

There's a part of me that hopes that the only update in the expanded and enhanced GTA 5 is that they added an official Survive the Hunt mode to Online. They should charge for the upgrade and give Failrace a cut.

17:04 top tip. Getting out a gun and aiming down sights reduces the chances of your character stumbling when climbing a hill. Combat rolling is also useful to get over certain bits of hill that do cause you to stumble

*BREAKING NEWS!* Assault and Car-bombing Near the Last Train! 26-year-old Hercules Grytpype-Thyme II, junior partner of the legal firm Argue & Phibbs, was the victim of an unprovoked assault near the Last Train restaurant in Los Santos today. The attorney had pulled into the restaurant parking lot and parked, when his sports car was rammed by a metallic gold SUV and several other cars. Mr Grytpype-Thyme was then pushed around by the owners of these cars for a minute or so, but subsequently left alone after one of his assailants realised that he was not the person they were looking for. Only minutes later, a pink Diletante sedan was blown up minutes later in the adjacent parking lot by a lone white male, raising fears of a copycat of the shootout near Posonby's several months ago. Reports of mysterious interference disappearing in the aftermath of this and of a black helicopter opening fire on a crashed blimp in the vicinty of the Alamo Sea have as of yet not been confirmed.

Not going to lie, I almost had a brown trouser moment when you turned around and those freaked out AI were running towards you at the second Pri location. Was the "Demon" Laddo?! Haha. Another great STH. LOVED it!!!!!

That train getaway was Hollywood-esque!

i would love to see a Failrace Fails mashup, where you show off the failed episodes that you get caught too quick or things like that!

I was NOT expecting a train escape to be used so soon after it was first conceived just last month... Bravo Alex! And thank you everyone, brilliant show this month!!

30:53 A time travelling Alex from the early STH episodes has appeared to drive on the wrong side of the road!

How is this not subtitled “The Freight Escape”??? That was seriously too perfect 😂

By far the best STH I’ve seen this far. I haven’t seen them all but this right here is gold. Precisely what I hope to see when I watch this series.

I look forward to this every month more than I do payday 😂

a twist on the "escape the city" part that might make it interesting: instead of having a teammate start with the means of escape and calling them into a somewhat predetermined location, have them start as a passenger in your car. you drive into the city with the normal two minute head start, and your teammate has to go find a means of escaping the city while you blow up pris. then you have to coordinate the escape via the in game texting. so you'd ride into the city, both swap into incognito cars, then go your separate ways. once impega has an escape option they can text you "boat/helo/plane" and you can reply with a location. to add a layer of difficulty to the escape, it could be that Alex has to board the escape vehicle within the Los Santos city limits. jump in a boat impega snuck into the canals and bolt out to sea, jump in a helo impega lands on the roof of a carpark, etc. there could be a built in twist if the hunters manage to kill the escape driver, like the new endgame for Alex is he needs to blow up ALL the pris in 10 minutes to guarantee a quick chaotic end to the episode.

NEW IDEA : Alex has to kill one of the hunters before blowing up the last prii. The hunter got killed become the getaway driver. If Alex killed more than 1 hunter, only the first one become the getaway driver.

Alex might just have the best openin lines ever.. Imagine him with a girl.. "Hello and welcome to the show! We are here today, on my bed, messing around, trying to figure out what the bloody hell we were supposed to do.." :p

Anyone else 100% disappointed he didnt steal the blimp and fly to the extraction point? I feel like that would have been the best ending to StH in history.

"Hello and welcome to the show" Goosebumps every time

my favorite bit was you spinning your car around and launching that lady off motorway ramp, and then you had the best getaway and used the train!!!! absolutely stunning

It’s amazing that we’re 39 episodes into this series and Alex is still seeing and doing new things. This was one of the best imo.

36:13 the bike falling is my best part😂😂😂

"Ooh I can fire my hmg from the side of this." cue Ride of the Valkyries

That initial escape early on WAS Mission Impossible beautiful! 👏👏👏👏👏

24:52 I literally applauded when you managed to use this long-awaited strategy. Wonderful job on this one Alex. 🚂

This is the best episode, nice car, we got to see how the hunters check cars (ewan moment), legendary escape juking trucks and good cars with expert maneuverability, t r a i n, successful heavy chopper escape. chef's* kiss, Alex.

Props to that train escape. I know it was lucky timing but damn.

Have you done a Halloween themed StH? YOU should!

whoo, Alex is quite a pro at this now. every action has calculations informing it. for a time in this series, it looked like the hunters were becoming unsurvivably-adept - but the hunted party's upped his game.

That had some epic “movie moment” stuff in there! That train tho! Great vid!

I'll be honest, seeing Dangerman fly over stab city in the blimp right at the end, had me on the edge of my chair :D can't believe you didn't notice :D

This episode had everything, from holding out as an A.I when being hussled at traffic lights, to a train escape.

I've haven't watched a survive the hunt since number 13, I'm so happy to find that not only are you still going, but that you're continuing to spice things up, to try different things and that folk are still watching. It seems to be your most popular type of video by far, helps that you can drive like a beast!

This has gotta be up there as one of the most legendary Survive The Hunts yet! So many glorious shenanigans and such brilliant luck.

My friends and I play a similar game where we steal cop cars, and the group of us in cop cars search for a 'wanted' player who has to pretend to be an NPC. No maps or HUD allowed so calling for backup requires memorization of the map. Amazing how similar your game is. We're gonna steal this idea and see if we can make a small scale version of it work since we don't have enough people to do this exactly. Absolutely LOVE that you have air support helping your ground units

That escape in the Schafter then onto a train was great!

43:28 Fail Race advice no. 391: "If things go south, go north!" 😝

Hands down the best series on YT to date, and keeps getting better with every episode! One thing i'd like to see is a "speedrun" of STH, where you have a fast and durable car with bulletproof tires, and you just blast through the city blowing up Priis and running away as fast as you can. Maybe not the best for an assisted escape (boat/plane/heli), but have a goal of blowing up all Priis for a win, or something like that..?

I hate how quickly I am sucked into this after only hearing it mentioned casually on Reddit. This makes me actually want to play GTA.

The escape at 23:20 was epic.

Hands down, STH is the thing I look most forward to on YT! And this one was a banger! I think it might be second only to the last one, which was epic. Or maybe tied for 1st place with last month's. lol!

no one else is suspicious about how consistently that Hellion was "bumping into" alex ? every time i watch these STH episodes there are several points where im certain a hunter has sneaked a look at the map.

Alex, man, you gotta live a little. You were actually stopped at a red light, right by a Pri. You already needed to swap cars anyway. There were countless alleys right there (even a car park not too far away at all), all within visual range of the Pri. You could have planted the bomb easy, rolled near (but not right next to) an alley, hopped out and camped behind a dumpster, blown the Pri, waited for the dust to clear and then grab a new car and hightail out of town. Taking the 4th Pri would have absolutely surprised everyone and completely thrown them off of your usual tactics, ergo they would likely have never even thought you'd be hanging in an alley right by that Pri.

Hilarious carpark sleuthing, amazingly quick getaway with a train, perfect car swap at just the right time, and a stealth escape! Great Episode!

FOR. THE. LOVE. OF. GOD!!! PLEASE do this more than once a month. PLEASE!

9:45 I was screaming, “HIS LIGHTS ARE ON!!!!!!!” To my screen

One of the best episodes so far! Very cool. Especially the first quick escape in the schafter/train :D

Super sneaky escape, train riding and the parking lot shenanigans. Great episode!

That was the most brilliant STH I think you've ever played. I can't believe so much went so well for you Alex. Can't wait to see the discussion video

"I dont know where the chopper will turn up at" Heli lands Oh! There it is. Blimp Lands "BLIMP!?!?!"

Very thrilling episode! Thanks again for making these videos for us!

Love these videos, 13minutes onwards in the car park was bloody hilarious

Congrats on a successful StH Alex, I have to say I was impressed by the slip you gave them with the stairs then the train.

just thinking, have you ever just stayed in a car park when exploding a 'pri', I wonder how fun that would be

These never get old. Great episode.

That one with the Shafter was the ultimate getaway!

Watched through the entire series the last few weeks; love it. Great episode 👍

Just how powerful is Lester - the moment you make the call the wanted level disappears, even before he could make a call to his police connections...

this is by far my most fave series on fail race.. this one was brilliant.. the train ride outta nowhere!!

So happy that you hopped the train. Yes! Waiting for that to happen for a while. Good run.

I randomly came across this video and gave it a chance... I must say it was very interesting and entertaining for sure.!! Great job.! :)

~littlest hobo theme plays~ The heli escape worked pretty nice! That one looks a bit fast, I'm wondering if a smaller one might work better? So the hunters have more of a chance to see it coming and do a mad scramble to get to the pickup (well everyone besides the stealth blimp)

21:16 He's "drawing a circle around you" with his car until he gets enough hunters to block you in! Smart move!

Man, I absolutely *love* Survive The Hunt! Thanks for another awesome vid FailRace!

Awesome to see the helicopter suggestion used! Definitely made the moments after the 3rd Pris more suspenseful than the boat escapes. Also, with how quickly you got away with the Schafter, this felt very much like an incognito escape.

Thank you guys for your work. Survive the Hunt series is really my favourite way to start a month

Proof that STH doesn't always mean endless high speed stupidity. Oh, and I would have blown up the 4th Pri just for style.

That moment in the car park with the freaked our AI in a suit was absolutley golden lol. I love these episodes so much, pure comedy and entertainment

FailRace. These are awesome. I subbed due to them. I am binging the hell outta them. lol.

I can't like these enough. Great stuff!

There is always a “edge of the seat” suspense with these videos, which is great, but anyone who walks in my room gives me a look, and walks off. These are funny, invigorating and suspenseful. Thank you Fail Race, for curing all boredom in my soul.

Out of all the bazillion videos on RU-vid, I genuinely look forward to survive the hunt videos the most. Please never get bored of making them because we never get bored of watching them!!!

Yess, another survive the hunt is here!! I love these, but I have a suggestion. Could you maybe put a map with all the prius in the video? Just for a few seconds at the beginning while you are running away, would be much appreciated :)

24:00 This was the most elegant getaway in the history of getaways. Brilliant job

This beautiful gift that has just fallen in my lap! Thank You Alex!

Stoked you managed to hop that train. What great timing after a super stealth getaway!

This man made watching a 20minute drive to sandy shores enjoyable

13:54 at this point you should have, confuse them more by getting out of the car and blowing the the pri.

"I held it as long as I could" Every guy's problem!

I'm REALLY looking forward to the hunter chat for this one

3:48 "We gotta change it up from time to time" Alex said as he wore the same outfit that he used in the last STH.

Oh man, it's so good to see you're still doing these. Nostalgia is hitting now.

thats was a great watch from start to finish, thank you!

That was one of the best survive the hunt vids yet... VERY ENJOYABLE
