🎯 What is the La Tablita Glitch?
The La Tablita glitch (Spanish for "the little table") is a physics exploit that allows you to launch your RV vertically using a wooden plank. By combining precise plank placement, jump timing, and momentum, you can achieve incredible heights—up to 100 meters in the air.
⚡ Key Characteristics
How It Works
- ✓ Pick up a wooden plank
- ✓ Drop it at a specific angle
- ✓ Spam jump while on the plank
- ✓ RV launches upward
Why It's Useful
- ✓ Skip difficult terrain sections
- ✓ Reach otherwise inaccessible areas
- ✓ Save 5-10 minutes in speedruns
- ✓ Explore hidden map locations
⚠️ Important: This is a glitch, not an intended game mechanic. While it's fun and not game-breaking, be aware that future patches could remove it. Enjoy it while it lasts!
📋 Requirements & Setup
What You Need
Wooden Plank
The most critical component. Wooden planks are found throughout the map. You need to pick one up and carry it to your desired launch location.
Your RV
Your vehicle needs to be in relatively good condition. Severe damage can affect the glitch's effectiveness. Repair your engine if needed.
Skill & Timing
This glitch requires precise timing and coordination. Practice makes perfect. Don't expect to nail it on your first try.
Flat Ground
You need relatively flat terrain to set up the plank. Steep slopes or uneven ground make the glitch much harder to execute.
Preparation Checklist
- Find a wooden plank on the map
- Locate a suitable flat area for setup
- Ensure your RV has at least 50% health
- Clear the area of obstacles
- Have a teammate ready to coordinate
🎯 Step-by-Step Tutorial
Follow these steps carefully to execute the La Tablita glitch successfully.
Find and Pick Up a Wooden Plank
Locate a wooden plank on the map. These are commonly found near construction areas, abandoned buildings, and resource zones. Approach the plank and press the interaction button to pick it up.
Position Your RV
Drive your RV to a flat, open area with plenty of space. You need room for the RV to launch upward without hitting obstacles. Avoid areas with trees, rocks, or steep terrain nearby.
Drop the Plank at the Right Angle
Exit your RV and position yourself in front of it. Drop the wooden plank so it creates a ramp at approximately 30-45 degrees. The angle is crucial—too steep and the RV won't launch properly, too shallow and it won't work at all.
Get Back in the RV
Return to your RV and get in the driver's seat. Make sure all team members are inside the vehicle. Position the RV so it will drive directly into the plank.
Drive Toward the Plank
Accelerate toward the plank at moderate speed. You don't need to go full speed—controlled acceleration works better. As the RV's front wheels hit the plank, the vehicle will start to tilt upward.
Spam Jump While on the Plank
This is the critical step. As soon as the RV starts climbing the plank, rapidly press the jump button repeatedly. The jumping motion creates additional upward momentum that launches the RV into the air. The faster you jump, the higher you'll go.
Launch and Enjoy the Flight
If executed correctly, your RV will launch high into the air—potentially 50-100 meters up! You'll have a few seconds of airtime before gravity pulls you back down. Use this time to navigate over obstacles or reach new areas.
Land Safely
Brace for impact! Landing from a high altitude will cause fall damage. Try to land on soft terrain (grass, dirt) rather than hard surfaces (rocks, concrete). Your RV will take damage, so be prepared to repair it afterward.
💡 Pro Tips & Tricks
✅ Success Tips
- • Practice on flat terrain first before attempting on slopes
- • Use a controller for better jump timing (vibration feedback helps)
- • Have a teammate spot you and provide feedback
- • Stock up on engine oil before attempting the glitch
- • Try the glitch multiple times to get a feel for the timing
- • Record your attempts to analyze what went wrong
🎯 Advanced Techniques
- • Combine with winch for even higher launches
- • Use momentum from downhill slopes to increase launch height
- • Time your jump spam to match the RV's climbing rhythm
- • Experiment with different plank angles for different heights
- • Use the glitch to skip entire map sections in speedruns
- • Land on elevated terrain to reduce fall damage
⚡ Common Mistakes
- • Plank angle too steep or too shallow
- • Not jumping fast enough (too slow = no launch)
- • Hitting the plank at too high a speed
- • Attempting on uneven terrain
- • Not having enough space for the RV to launch
- • Forgetting to repair the RV after landing
🚀 Speedrun Applications
- • Skip the entire canyon section (saves 15+ minutes)
- • Bypass difficult winch sections
- • Reach the exit faster via aerial shortcuts
- • Combine with other glitches for maximum time savings
- • Practice in sandbox mode before speedrun attempts
- • Time your glitch execution for optimal route flow
🎮 Practical Uses in Speedrunning
The La Tablita glitch isn't just for fun—it's a legitimate speedrunning technique that can save significant time.
Time Savings Breakdown
🏆 Speedrun Strategy
The La Tablita glitch is most effective when combined with other speedrunning techniques:
- ✓ Use it to skip the hardest sections of the Mountain Pass route
- ✓ Combine with resource optimization to minimize repair stops
- ✓ Practice the glitch in isolation before incorporating into full runs
- ✓ Have a backup plan if the glitch fails (know alternate routes)
- ✓ Time your glitch execution to avoid bear encounters
❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Is the La Tablita glitch patched?
As of November 2025, the glitch is still active in the game. However, it's a known exploit, so future patches could remove it. Enjoy it while it lasts!
Can I use this glitch in multiplayer?
Yes! The glitch works in both single-player and multiplayer modes. In multiplayer, all team members must be in the RV for the launch to work properly.
How much damage does the RV take from falling?
Fall damage depends on the height. A 50-meter launch typically results in 30-50% damage. Landing on soft terrain reduces damage by about 10-15%.
What's the highest I can launch?
The theoretical maximum is around 100 meters, but most players achieve 50-70 meters. The height depends on plank angle, jump timing, and RV condition.
Can I use this glitch to reach the exit early?
Not directly—the exit is locked until you complete certain objectives. However, you can use the glitch to skip difficult sections and reach the final area faster.
Is using this glitch considered cheating?
It depends on the context. For casual play, it's just fun! For official speedrun leaderboards, check the rules—some allow glitches, others don't. Always verify before submitting times.
