GTA 5 modder lets users play as King Kong in Los Santos

GTA 5 has been out on PC for over 6 years now, but the modding community is as active as it was on day one.

This time, a prolific GTA 5 modder, JulioNIB, has developed a King Kong script mod that allows players to play as the primate of legend, King Kong. Here's a mod showcase of one of the most fun scripts to hit GTA 5 in a while.

King Kong in GTA 5 makes for a total gameplay change

---

Lightweight and masterfully developed, JulioNIB has managed to limit the entire mod size to below 10 MB, making it super accessible for players with slower internet connections.

The mod is a simple script that is injected into GTA 5, and it uses default assets from the game to render a massive King Kong model that players can apply to themselves, with some powers added in as well.

As King Kong, players can scale buildings with their hands, and pick up cars and objects to throw at NPCs. Here's the full list of abilities available to players:

• Strong melee attacks
• Pickup and throw things
• Use big objects or vehicles as baseball bat
• Special attacks (Eat target and Smash target)
• Army dispatch
• Climb any building
• Walk over small buildings
• Smash things on the way
• Fake improved body collision
• Ally, enemy and killer features
• Suit customization letting players configure other models to use with the script

Here are the minimum requirements and prerequisites JulioNIB has specified to get the mod working properly

Installation

• This mod uses OpenIV Package Installer. See how to install this kind of mod here
• First install the "King Kong by JulioNIB.oiv" to install the script. Then install "Suits config.oiv" to install the suit samples. After that you must download and install ped models to use.
• In case of a game crash at loading story mode, this FIX must be applied for added peds/props:
• Don't forget to install the NIBShDotNet plugin (that includes the NIBMods Menu)
• Check the mod Readme.txt file for important info about requirements

Players are able to grab the mod for free but can choose to support the creator through Patreon.
