A '''vehicle fling''' is a technique in [[Jak II: Renegade]] which can be used to throw Jak from a vehicle with a large amount of momentum, making it possible to jump over walls and go out of bounds. Vehicle flings can be performed in several types of vehicles, but the most powerful by far result from using a Hellcat cruiser.
'''Break Through Ruins Skip''', or more commonly called '''BTR Skip''', is a way to skip having to use the Slam Dozer to complete the mission ''Break Through Ruins''. By entering the Palace Ruins with a side mission timer active, you can prevent the enemies and other assets from loading in correctly. This effect also transfers into the Break Through Ruins mission, causing the Slam Dozer and enemies to not spawn. This allows Jak to continue on foot and complete the mission much quicker by [[Jetboard#Hover Glitch|hovering]] over walls and other collision.


A vehicle fling can be performed by changing hover zones from low to high and exiting the vehicle. It gains an enormous amount of power when performed in an area in which the high hover zone is transitioning from a lower to a higher vertical plane.

By entering the [[Break Through Ruins]] mission while a side mission is active, the side mission timer disappears and the sequence that ends the side mission is indefinitely delayed. This active side mission storage prevents the enemies and other assets in Break Through Ruins from loading in, as well as preventing Jak from spawning in the [[Slam Dozer]].
