Mod Gives Grand Theft Auto V A Just Cause Grappling Gun
A new Grand Theft Auto V mod brings Just Cause 2's grappling hook mechanic to San Andreas.
The mod lets players pull themselves toward destinations, or connect multiple moving targets (like cars) together for joyful destruction. Perhaps one of the most entertaining things about the mod is how it doesn't quite mesh with the game's ragdoll physics. When Franklin latches onto something, as you can see in the video below, he basically goes limp and lets gravity and fate take over.
Though the mod is showcased in a video from Nexus AU on YouTube the mod itself comes from JulioNIB, and you can grab the mod yourself here.
For more bizarre GTA V mod overlaps with other games, head here to see how someone inserted Half-Life 2's gravity gun into the game.
Just Cause is another game highly susceptible to fan modding, and you can read about Just Cause's developer Avalanche's favorite mods here.
