A new drivable vehicle mod has been created by a player of Grand Theft Auto 5, allowing users to utilize the OceanGate Titan submersible. This mod includes a customized collision model and enables full control of the vehicle.
The OceanGate Titan submersible was previously occupied by a crew of five individuals who recently went missing after submerging into the depths of the ocean. Reports have indicated that the submersible likely collapsed while en route to the Titanic wreckage. As the expedition progressed, additional information emerged, such as the crew's use of a Logitech controller for navigation. Furthermore, it has been suggested that the submersible lacked proper safety certifications and utilized readily available components, leading some experts to caution against boarding the vessel. Despite the associated risks, OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush joined the submersible with four other crew members. The disappearance of the OceanGate Titan submersible has sparked discussions regarding the significance of safety regulations.
Enter stage right SkylineGTRFreak, a modder renowned for his impressive creations inspired by real-world events. One of his notable mods includes a remarkable rendition of the infamous Chinese Spy Balloon that once plagued the Pentagon. Now, SkylineGTRFreak presents his latest masterpiece—a brand new mod for Grand Theft Auto 5, allowing players to explore the mysterious depths of the ocean with the OceanGate Titan submersible. This incredible creation features a meticulously crafted collision model, ensuring an impeccable hitbox and eliminating any issues with phantom hits. Moreover, players can delight in the immersive experience of operating the submersible, complete with functional lights and a fully operational frontal hatch for easy entry.
The submersible's impressive outer shell is its main feature, but it is limited in functionality. The mod's author acknowledges that the default submarine layout is necessary in order to maintain the submersible's functions in Grand Theft Auto 5. This means only one person can board the submersible and must enter through the front hatch. To access the mod in-game, players need to use OpenIV to extract the DLC list file, edit the file to add the submersible mod, and then use a trainer to spawn it. Once these requirements are met, players are able to explore the depths of the sea in the submersible.
In Grand Theft Auto 5, players continue to showcase their creativity through various mods that enhance the game experience. However, there have been reports of player-controlled characters invading the Story Mode experience, causing players to lose their mission progress. While this is not a common occurrence, it raises concerns about Rockstar's plans to address this issue in the upcoming Grand Theft Auto 6.
Grand Theft Auto Online is available now for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
