GTA 5 mods | The best PC mods and how to use them
We are now on our *checks notes* 747th version of GTA 5 since it first came out in 2013 and the most recent version, enhanced for PS5 and Xbox Series X, has just come out to give us the game shinier than ever.
If you play the game on PC, then there is a solid chance that you have already been made aware of the fun that can be had by installing mods — and the list of ones out there is continuing to grow.
But if you are new to the GTA 5 mod scene and you want to know how to install them, and what the best GTA 5 mods are that are out there we have you covered below!
How to install mods on GTA 5
In order to use mods, there are a couple of bits of software that you will need to get hold of first. And remember, you can only get mods on GTA 5 if you play on PC.
How to install Script Hook V for GTA 5:
- Download Script Hook V and then open the .zip folder
- Copy ScriptHookV.
dll to the parent GTAV folder (keep in mind that if you’re playing the game through Steam, it can be found in SteamAppscommonGrand Theft Auto V)
- Now do the same with both dsound.dll — the Asi Loader — and NativeTrainer.asi
How to install the GTAV LUA Plugin:
- Download the GTAV LUA Plugin and open the .zip folder
- Copy the ‘scripts’ folder and the LUA.asi file to the parent GTAV folder (same as last time)
- Now copy the mod folders into the GTA folder

The best mods in GTA 5
Iron Man
Possibly one of the coolest and the most well known, you can have Marvel star Iron Man flying around in the game and causing all sorts of carnage — we love this mod 3000.
With all the powers you would expect him to have, plus the option to turn the armour into the Hulk busting kind, it is little wonder this is still such a popular mod.

Become the police
Want to know what life is like on the other side of a 5 star police call out? Well you can thanks to this mod that lets you swap sides and join the cops, thus putting you in charge of taking criminals out of action rather than trying to be the biggest one yourself.
Get the Police GTA mod
Mobile radio
Despite the carnage that GTA 5 dishes out on a regular basis, cruising around with tunes blasting out can actually be quite relaxing and it is always a shame that the music does not follow you when you get out of a vehicle.
Well, with the mobile radio mod you can do just that — so the music will stay with you even while you are deep in a gunfight!
Get the Mobile radio GTA mod
Carmageddon!
Also known as Mayhem, you can probably guess what the Carmaggedon mod does once you activate it but just in case you want to know more, you can cause cars to explode and fly about all over the place at the push of a button.
Keep in mind that the police will be after you extremely quickly if you try this one out.
Get the Carmaggedon GTA mod
Home invasion
Breaking into random houses and attacking the people that live there is not something you can do in GTA 5 without the help of a mod, but thankfully one exists that will allow you to do just that.
Obviously, not veery house is available to break into but you do get a good variety of them — including mansions!
Get the home invasion GTA mod
California Architecture
While we all know that the fictional Los Santos borrows a lot from LA and its surrounding areas, it is not actually set in California. But with a mod, you can make it more Californian than ever as it will add several real life locations into the game to really give it an authentic vibe.

Prison
You will see the word busted a lot while playing GTA 5 but because it is a game, you will just reappear outside the police station — free to go back to criminal ways instantly.
Add a dash of realism to the game with this mod that will actually see you sent to prison! And even better is that you can channel your inner Michael Schofield and stage a prison break!
Get the prison GTA mod
Open all Interiors
Slightly further up this list was the home invasion mod and this is very similar — just not as violent and aggressive.
Interiors can be explored in the game with this mod and while you don’t really gain anything from going inside, it is a nice addition that helps the world of Los Santos feel a little more real.
Get the Open all Interiors GTA mod
Marlowe Valley safehouse
There are some lovely homes that you can live in while playing GTA 5, and plenty of them dotted about to choose from — none are quite like this though.
At the Marlowe Valley safehouse you get a gigantic mansion that you can throw parties in, and it comes with its own airport too as it is in the middle of nowhere.
Get the Marlowe Valley Safehouse/Airport GTA mod
Realism mode
Fellow Rockstar title Red Dead Redemption 2 taught us that realism in games is a bit marmite, so this will be a mod that you either love or hate.
But as the name suggests, everything becomes realistic. So you bleed when you are shot, you have to literally pick weapons up, police are much smarter and if you keep a close eye on random pedestrians then they might just drop their wallet!
Get the realism GTA mod
Tsunami
To quote the mighty Manic Street Preachers, «Tsunami, tsunami came washing over me» — and that is exactly what will happen to the residents of Los Santos if you install this mod.
GTA 5 becomes an underwater location with this one which makes it one of the most fun on this list and makes us wish for a GTA Atlantis spin off game.

Which car is fastest in GTA 5, and how can you get it
We are almost at the 10-year mark since GTA 5 first launched – on the Xbox 360 and PS3 if you can believe it.
But its life cycle continues and while it looks like GTA 6 is coming in the relatively near future, there are still many reasons to venture back into the current one.
GTA 5 has just been remastered (again) for the latest generation of consoles, and that has given many the reason they need to revisit the game, while many others have never stopped playing thanks in large part to GTA Online.
Of the many things to do in GTA 5, and there are many, is to hop in a car and drive around, race around, and cause general carnage – and any gamer will want to have the best of the best when it comes to GTA 5 vehicles.
And the best tends to also be the quickest. With many GTA supercars out there, you could spend a long time trying to work out which of them is the speediest on the streets of Los Santos. To complicate matters, there are cars that do not outwardly appear to be that special that can end up being among the best if you head to a garage to upgrade them – we have a least one of those below for a quick, cheap, and speedy vehicle.
We are here to make your decision a little easier, so here is what in our mind is the fastest car in GTA 5 – and how to get it.
Which car is fastest in GTA 5?
The fastest car in GTA 5 is the Grotti Itali RSX and let’s be honest, the picture of it is more than enough to convince you that this is a GTA supercar to be reckoned with.
When it comes to all the key things – acceleration, braking, traction and top base speed – Grotti Itali RSX more than earns its hefty price tag at Legendary Motorsport as it excels in all of those key areas.
There are other cars that can get to a fast speed quicker and will therefore have a shot at beating it in a straight road race, but it’s the handling of it that makes it the overall winner – if you are in a race with windy roads, then really is the best of the bunch.

How to get the fastest car in GTA 5
Let’s get something out of the way first to avoid any disappointment.
There is not an easy, quick, cheap way to get your hand on many of the super cars to add to your garage, and the Grotti Itali RSX is no exception.
Getting the fastest car in GTA 5 will set you back a lot of in-game cash and this one, our pick for the fastest GTA 5 car, costs a staggering $3,465,000 – so you might want to start saving.
And also, just in case you were wondering, there are no GTA 5 cheat codes that can be used to get you the car either.
What are some of the best cars in GTA 5?
That price makes this a car that many will never be able to get their hands on, and while other cars are not quite as good, you still have some options that won’t set you back quite as much as the Grotti Itali RSX.
For example, for a mere (and we say mere in relation to the cost of the RSX) $1,795,000, you can get your hands on the Principe Deveste Eight. This is a sports car with amazing handling and there is also the chance of getting it as a top reward on the Diamond Casino Lucky Wheel – so you may be able to get it for nought!
Then there is the Bravado Banshee 900R.
This is another fast one but it is cheap to buy at $105,000, only there is a caveat. You can buy the base version of the Banshee but you will need to take it to a garage to upgrade it. Happily, the cost is pretty small and that will only set you back another $600,00 – super cheap for the calibre of car that you will end up with after doing it.

The Karin Calico GTF and the Ocelot Pariah are two more that are worth considering. The latter, in particular, is a strong choice. It is a sports car for one, costing $1,420,000 – still high but ways down from the top cost vehicles – and if you go to the garage and get it kitted out, you’ll be left with one of the best cars in the game.
But these are just a few of the greatest vehicles in GTA 5, and there are some who don’t necessarily look for speed when they choose which car to cruise around the huge map in. Spending only a few minutes in the main part of the map will show you countless cars that look amazing that you will want in your garage.
So play about with them and see which one suits you. But if you can afford it, you can’t do much better than the Grotti Itali RSX.

GTA 5 Cheat Codes: Complete List of Cheat Codes for PC, PS4 and Xbox
GTA 5 Cheat Codes have been a sensation since the dawn of time, and ever since they left their mark, gameplay has never been the same again.

The game is set in a vast urban sprawl, from the beach to the swamps and from the glitter to the ghetto, and it was one of the most diverse, complete and living digital cities ever created. nine0003

True, in the heat of passing the task, this method can hardly be called comfortable for the user. Luckily, there is an option associated with the phone. nine0003

Codes work exclusively in single mode. That is, with a multiplayer game, fooling around will no longer be possible.

Having dealt with the principle of activation codes, it is worth starting to consider the list, including the benefits that they can offer. nine0003
Detailed list with everything you need:
- 1-999-724-654-5537 is a code that gives the main character god mode. He will no longer be able to take damage from opponents. Dying also becomes an impossible task.
- 1-999-759-3255 is a code that takes the main character to the sky. From there it starts to fall. This is made for parachute testing.
- 1-999-769-3787 — restore all the abilities that the character under control has right now. nine0034
- 1-999-547-867 is a code that activates the drunk mode for the main character.

- 1-999-467-86-48 is a code that increases the jump range. It again removes any limits set by the game.
- 1-999-4684-2637 — the controlled hero receives a new function. He can deliver an explosive blow when attacking with his fist. nine0034

- 1-999-367-3767 — Adjusts the phone’s appearance by turning it black.
- 1-999-759-3483 — gives the main character a parachute.
It, as mentioned earlier, can be used when falling. Perfectly combines with the code mentioned above. nine0034

- 1-999-444-439 — Bullets fired from a weapon can deal damage and have the ability to explode.
- 1-999-462-363-4279 — all bullets that hit an opponent can make him burn alive.
- 1-999-3844-8483 — increases the wanted character by one step. nine0034
- 1-999-5299-3787 is the opposite of the mentioned code, which reduces the wanted level by one step.
- 1-999-756-966 — slows down the flow of game time.
- 1-999-356-2837 — reduces gravity, increasing the level of jumps and other parameters.
- 1-999-625-348-7246 — get new weather.
Each activation sets a different variant. - 1-999-766-9329 — all cars begin to slide on the road, as if in winter. nine0034
- 1-999-872-7433 — creates a garbage truck.
- 1-999-846-39663 — creates a limousine.
- 1-999-398-4628 — will help you create a controlled aircraft.
- 1-999-359-77729 is another aircraft that you can start flying yourself.
These codes can be activated by the user when performing any task. Even the location where the character is right now does not affect. All achievements will remain available for obtaining, so we can say for sure: Rockstar has created all the necessary conditions for those who like to cheat using codes.
