AGrand Theft Auto 5player has created a new drivable vehicle mod that lets players use the OceanGate Titan submersible. TheGrand Theft Auto 5modfeatures a custom collision model and is fully drivable.
The OceanGate Titan submersible is a vessel that housed a five-people crew that went missing recently after diving into the ocean depths. This submersible is believed to have imploded on its way to the Titanic wreck. More details regarding the expedition were revealed as things went along, such as how theOceanGate crew used a Logitech controllerto navigate across the depths. Moreover, it’s believed this submersible lacked safety certifications and used off-the-shelf parts, with some experts believing that boarding the vessel would be a bad idea. Regardless of the risks, OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush boarded the submersible alongside four other crew mates. The disappearance of the OceanGate Titan submersible brought discussions about the importance of safety regulations.

Enter stage right SkylineGTRFreak, a modder that has created other mods inspired by real-world events, such as a recreation of theChinese Spy Balloon that tormented the Pentagona while ago. This modder created a newGrand Theft Auto 5mod, letting players take to the ocean’s depths as the missing OceanGate Titan submersible. The author explains that this mod comes with a custom collision model for a proper hitbox, meaning it won’t have any issues with phantom hits. This fully drivable sub also has working lights and a fully operational frontal hatch players can enter through.
While this submersible has an impressive outer shell, it isn’t much more than that. The mod’s author explained that this model would have to use the default submarine layout due to the nature of submersible functions found inGrand Theft Auto 5. In other words, only one person will be able to board the submersible and have to enter through the front hatch. To access the mod in-game, players must use OpenIV to extract the DLC list file from the game, edit the file to add the submersible mod, and then use a trainer to spawn it. Once all these requirements are fulfilled, players can board the submersible and explore the depths of the sea.
Players continue expressing their creativity inGrand Theft Auto 5through various mods that add more variety to the game experience. Unfortunately, not everything is perfect forGrand Theft Auto 5players, as some have reported sightingplayer-controlled characters invading their Story Modeexperience and making them lose their mission progress. While this is not a frequent issue, it still poses questions about how Rockstar plans to address this problem in the upcomingGrand Theft Auto 6.
