Jump glitch

The jump glitch is a technique in Syphon Filter: The Omega Strain which allows a single player to complete particular online objectives without a teammate using a super-jump.

Method

Face the object you wish to traverse, roll and hit the X button as your character's back hits the ground. This may require significant amounts of practice and as such it will make certain objectives much more difficult.

• Equip a back or auxiliary weapon
• Roll with the circle button
• Hit the circle button again
• Press the X button when your agent's is on the ground
• This will cause your character to jump if done correctly
• Activate the flashlight to make things easier. The X button should be pressed when the light points at the ground.

Objectives for which this glitch works

Carthage, Michigan: Quarantine Zone

• Retrieve Broussard's laptop

Sana'a, Yemen: Taherir Palace

• Destroy SCUD missile mechanism

Taguang, Myanmar: Irawaddy Basin

• Recover black box flight recorder

Kiev, Ukraine: Chechen Terrorist Base

• Stop missile from launching

Is the glitch useful outside of team objectives?

• In Carthage, Michigan: Quarantine Zone, the player can use the same technique to recover C4 charges from a building that is usually only accessible online. These explosives can be used to blow open a gate leading to Andre Proust without requiring the character to access the train tunnels.
• In Carthage, Michigan: Warehouse District, the player can again acquire C4 from the train's rooftop in the tunnels. Plant a charge in the furnace room to quickly kill the ALA death squad without needing to fight them directly!
• In Mazyr, Belarus: Krivorozhstal Mill, it may be possible to access an items cache that can only be reached online with this method. This cache is accessed via a vent, which in turn is on top of a platform to which a team member can be lifted. (The contents of this cache remain unknown)
• In North Atlantic: Lorelei Salvage Rig, the player can also use this to access Mujari's location from the topside deck and this allows one to access a 10,000 point flak jacket.
• In Tokyo, Japan: Murakawa Tower, it may be possible to bypass the security level even when the alarm is triggered using this glitch.
• In Sana'a, Yemen: Arms Bazaar, it is possible to enter the bus right next to the player and explore it with this technique.
• Completing Sana'a, Yemen: Taherir Palace while tackling this objective is rather tricky. Because Zohar's death will automatically fail the mission, extensive practice is required to destroy the SCUD missile.
  • It is also possible to leave the balcony and explore the area using this method.
  • If the player happens to jump off the palace from the area where the copter will arrive before the aircraft appears, mission failure is automatically triggered.
• In Kiev, Ukraine: Chechen Terrorist Base, the player can use this to access Rodion Ushakov's tank.
• It is impossible to complete both the objectives in Mazyr, Belarus: Belaya Vezha and Kiev, Ukraine: Chechen Terrorist Base even with this technique.
