With so many mods out there it can be hard to decide which ones to start with. That is why we have compiled this list of some of the best GTA V Online mods for players to try out. Just don't go too crazy when flying around as Iron Man.

Updated June 29th, 2021, By Aden Carter: New mods are created all the time by fans of GTA Online, but not many people realize how easy it can be to mod the game. By following a few simple steps, players can be on their merry way. It's not all fun and games, however, because Rockstar tries its best to prevent people from modding the game and ruining the experience for other players in a lobby. Keep that in mind before modding the game because it can quickly lead to someone getting put on the ban list. This will prevent a player from ever being able to play online again.

11 How To Mod GTA Online

There are many ways to mod GTA Online, but players mainly stick to a few programs. One of the first steps before beginning the adventure of modding is to copy the GTA V program. Having a second copy of the game will allow players to have a modded version and a clean version of the game. After that, it is as simple as downloading one of the many programs for modding the game. Some of the best are:

  • ScripthookV
  • OpenIV
  • ScriptHookVDotNet
  • Rage Plugin Hook

After getting the programs ready, it is time to start downloading mods. While there are also many programs to install mods, there are more websites that allow players to download mods. The main one that players tend to use is GTA5-Mods.com. After downloading the mods, players will need to use the various programs to install them. Then they will be able to play GTA with mods.

10 Bank Robberies

Creator FelixTheBlackCat has created a mod that allows players to rob various banks around the GTA Online map. Each bank has a set amount of money you can rob which can range from twenty thousand all the way up to twenty million. Each robbery also awards your criminal activity with an appropriate wanted level while you attempt to run the cash bank to your safe house to secure it.

This mod also makes it possible to break into ATMs and steal some additional dough which can vary from five hundred to eleven thousand dollars. No more need for the never-ending cash grind.

9 LSPD First Responders

Okay, maybe playing as a criminal can get a little boring after a while. That's why there is a nifty mod that allows players to assume the role of a member of the LSPD. Get all the thrills of GTA but in a way that won't get you chased by the cops. Pull people over, get into shootouts, make drug busts, and more with this mod. It even allows for some interaction with NPCs. This can be a great way to troll people as well if they are already wanted.

8 Iron Man Armor

This next mod was created by Brazilian modder, Julio Nib, and allows you to dawn the Iron Man suit and fly around Los Santos like the hero (or villain) you are. This armor comes equipped with many weapons like a laser beam, machine gun, and pulse cannon that you can use to tear apart your enemies on top of being able to get around the city with extreme speed.

Unlock the full strength of the Iron Man suit and use it to flip cars, and propel yourself into traffic. Now we just need the Hulk to complete the illusion.

7 Funny Vehicles

This mod is great for adding some extra vehicles to traverse the world. Created by user Israelsr, this mod allows you to ride in style around the city of Los Santos is vehicles like the Star Wars speeder bike or The Flintstones' foot-powered car.

If flying is more your style then you can choose from an actual DeLoreon, Tie Fighter, or even an X-Wing. This mod is sure to offer hours of fun for you and your friends. He should really think about adding the Millenium Falcon to increase the assortment of Star Wars vehicles.

6 Vice City Expansion

This mod is one that has been favorited by many fans and a DLC that many people would love for Rockstar to add to GTA V Online.  This mod was created by Lunchxbles and brings the vibrant 80s inspired world of Vice City, Florida to the world of Los Santos.

It even includes randomized scenarios to further enhance the experience. Now if only Rockstar would add this as an actual DLC to the online mode, but at least there are modders out there who know what the fans want.

5 Go To Prison

Modder Marhex has created a mod that allows you to go to prison instead of just having the cops kill you on sight. Get the full experience of going to prison without all the waiting around in court and if you want, you can even bail yourself out as long as you have the cash to handle it.

With this mod, you have the ability to escape if you don't have the money or don't want to pay bail. You can also start a riot if you are in one of those violent moods and want to kick in a few teeth.

4 Carmageddon

Are you tired of traffic always getting in your way? How about those annoying cops running you off the road? Well, user Kanersps has a fix for that. The Carmageddon mod makes it so that cars explode around you as you pass by leaving a trail of destruction wherever you may go.

Say goodbye to those annoying cops since they won't even get the chance to touch you before being engulfed in flames. That will teach the cops not to mess with you ever again.

3 Open All Interiors

One of the worst things about GTA is that you can walk down the street and view all the wonderful building but never go in them. Luckily, NewTheft has created a mod that opens up most of the buildings across Los Santos for your viewing pleasure.

They even incorporated working elevators in a few buildings so you can all the floors. This mod even adds each opened location on the map with a marker along with marking which ones are able to be robbed. Check out his page for information on all the buildings that are able to be entered. There are a lot of them.

2 Mobile Radio

It can be a little boring walking around the streets of Los Santos without some tunes. The atmosphere may be nice, but it lacks the realism of having music flooding the streets like areas of California. This mod created by XMOD adds in a portable radio so you can listen to all your favorite radio channels on the go.

There is something relaxing about listening to some rock or rap music while you blast away cops while walking. It amplifies the experience you get from the game in a way that you wouldn't expect.

1 Just Cause Grappling Hook

Sometimes causing mayhem gets a little old. After all, GTA Online only has so many weapons. Why stick with the normal rocket launcher or minigun when there is a mod that allows players to use a grappling hook gun? This mod lets a player use a grappling hook gun to swing across buildings, scale walls with ease, and even hijack police helicopters. That's right, with this mod, a player can grapple only a police helicopter and pull the cop out while they take the wheel.
