A PC Gamer writer tested a GTA 5 mod that adds a gang notoriety system, intended to make gangs respond dynamically to the player’s actions. In practice, the system appeared to create widespread gang violence against nearby NPCs while largely leaving the player untouched, making its behaviour seem more chaotic than threatening.

The mod is designed to give gangs greater awareness and consequences within GTA 5’s open world, potentially making encounters feel less scripted. However, the writer’s experience suggested that its targeting or aggression rules may not work as intended, with gangs attacking other characters indiscriminately instead of treating the player as a meaningful rival.
