Today in GTA 5 mods: Turning Franklin into a walking car-cannon
A PC Gamer columnist continues their experiment of pushing GTA 5's limits through custom modifications. The latest installation features a mod that repurposes traditional gun mechanics, converting them into delivery systems for automobiles instead of bullets—enabling the player to hurl moving vehicles at high velocity. The author illustrates this through examples like catapulting a sedan into a police helicopter.
When paired with a separate mod granting flight capability, the Vehicle Cannon mod grants the player god-like command over the game world. The piece adopts a tongue-in-cheek tone, opening with reflections on how conceptually bizarre car-dependent infrastructure would seem as a new invention, before celebrating the delightful chaos of weaponised vehicles in a sandbox game environment.
- PC Gamer's ongoing GTA 5 modding series showcases the 'Vehicle Cannon' mod, which transforms firearms into weapons that launch vehicles as projectiles
- Combined with a flying mod, the author achieves near-omnipotent gameplay capabilities, using cars as munitions against in-game targets
