PC Gamer Explores Vehicle Cannon Mod for GTA 5

A recent modding experiment in Grand Theft Auto 5 showcases the Vehicle Cannon mod, which transforms character weaponry into high-speed automobile launchers.

A new modding exploration for Grand Theft Auto 5 has highlighted the Vehicle Cannon mod, a modification that alters firearms to fire vehicles instead of traditional bullets. Installed as part of an ongoing quest to either transform the PC version toward a vision of GTA 6 or break the game entirely, the mod replaces weapon ammunition with high-speed mid-size family sedans and other automobiles.

When combined with a separate floating mod menu, the setup allows players to traverse locations freely and unleash widespread chaos across Los Santos. Firing weapons equipped with the Vehicle Cannon turns standard firearms into continuous nozzles of limitless vehicles, sending cars careening into police helicopters and turning the player character into an artillery unit capable of wreaking distant havoc. While justifying how the modification brings GTA 5 closer to GTA 6 remains a challenge, the resulting open-world destruction offers a nostalgic look at sandbox chaos.
