GTA 5 mod turns every gun into a car-launching cannon of chaos

A PC Gamer columnist has embarked on a daily mission to mod GTA 5, aiming either to turn it into a PC version of GTA 6 or to break the game entirely. The latest experiment is the Vehicle Cannon mod, which replaces every bullet with a speeding car.

With the mod installed, any weapon—from a pistol to a pump-action shotgun—fires vehicles at high velocity, causing massive destruction and potentially crashing your PC. Combined with a flight-enabling mod menu, the player becomes a near-omnipotent force, raining automobiles on everything in sight. The author compares the experience to "a part in the Bible where God shoots cars at people."

The journalist admits he cannot yet justify how this mod makes GTA 5 more like GTA 6, but he concedes it is "very fun." He also reflects on the absurdity of real-world car-centric urban design, describing cars as "enormous bullets piloted by random members of the public" and "ballistic missiles." The column is part of a series where the author tries out different mods daily, promising to return the next day with another "horrible thing" done to Rockstar's game.
