Best GTA 5 Mods – The Incredible Hulk
Wreaking havoc has always been one of GTA 5’s defining features, and now you can do so as Marvel comic’s most iconic monstrosity. You can literally leap across the city, crushing vehicles underfoot while also trampling pedestrians. It’s ridiculous fun, and really makes you feel like an unstoppable vandalism machine.

Best GTA 5 Mods – Pokemon
While this mod doesn’t quite bring some real pocket monsters by your side, it does allow you to recruit the citizens of Los Santos. How? Well, you merely hurl a poke ball at them. You have to weaken them first, though, which normally means hurling a punch or two their way. Once captured, they’ll happily fight by your side and even sprint into oncoming traffic.

Best GTA 5 Mods – Mobile Radio
GTA 5’s assortment of radio stations are hugely entertaining to listen to, but in the base game they’re restricted to vehicles. Mobile Radio makes it possible to access all stations from your handset. There’s probably a mod out there that gives you headphones, too.

Best GTA 5 Mods – Car Jetpacks
It can be such a hassle trying to track down some aircraft in Los Santos. Car Jetpacks (sorta) solves this problem by providing all vehicles with their own personal propulsion system. Where we’re going, we don’t need roads. I’m sure Trevor would say something like that.
