How to Use the Ejector Seat in GTA 5’s JB 700W

The ejector seat in Grand Theft Auto V is one of the game’s most iconic and fun features, allowing for some truly spectacular escapes and hilarious moments. This unique functionality is specifically linked to the JB 700W, the weaponized version of the classic Dewbauchee JB 700, a car inspired by the Aston Martin DB5. However, engaging the ejector seat isn’t as straightforward as just pressing a button. It is linked to a specific mission and its use is restricted to specific times.

The primary method of using the ejector seat in GTA 5 is within a specific story mission, not available in free roam or GTA Online unless modded. During the mission involving the actress, after eliminating the security vehicles, the in-game dialogue will trigger the ejector seat sequence. Franklin will then say: “Hey, what’s this red button do?” This will prompt an on-screen instruction to press the designated button to activate the ejector seat. A quick press of the button will launch the actress from the car.

Understanding the JB 700W and Its Features

The JB 700W isn’t just a standard vehicle in GTA 5. It’s a specialized, weaponized car based on the real-life Aston Martin DB5. The JB 700W differs significantly from the standard JB 700, which is the decommissioned version that you can buy from Legendary Motorsports. The standard JB 700 lacks working weapons and ejector seats.

Key Features of the JB 700W:

• Machine Guns: The JB 700W is equipped with two front-facing machine guns, which the driver can operate. These function similar to other vehicle-mounted weapons, such as those on the Blazer Aqua and Ruiner 2000, though with a slightly higher damage output (30 compared to 20) and a somewhat lower fire rate.
• Ejector Seat: As discussed, this function is primarily used in the specific story mission and is triggered by dialogue and a quick button press.
• Customization: The machine guns of the JB 700W are initially hidden. You must install them at Los Santos Customs to reactivate them.
• Weaponized Variant: The JB 700W is exclusively obtained from Warstock Cache and Carry, and it is the functional, weaponized counterpart to the standard JB 700.

Where to Get the JB 700W:

You cannot find the JB 700W freely in the game world. It has to be purchased through Warstock Cache and Carry. The standard JB 700 can be purchased at Legendary Motorsports but it’s just the visual model.

Step-by-Step Ejector Seat Activation in the Mission

As mentioned, the primary use of the ejector seat is during a specific mission. Here’s a more detailed breakdown of the activation process:

1. Complete the Initial Mission Objectives: Progress in the mission until you reach the point where the car becomes available for use. Eliminate any security vehicles or other required targets.
2. Listen for Dialogue: Once the required enemies are dealt with, Franklin will initiate the necessary dialogue by saying, “Hey, what’s this red button do?”. This is your signal that the ejector seat sequence is about to begin.
3. Watch for On-Screen Prompt: A pop-up will appear on your screen, displaying the button you need to press to trigger the ejector seat. Be ready to act quickly.
4. Press the Button Promptly: Press the specified button as quickly as possible. The actress will be ejected from the car, leading to the next phase of the mission.

It’s important to note that there is no ejector seat use available in free roam or GTA Online without the use of mods. So the official usage of the ejector seat in GTA 5 is only during this particular scenario.
