Top five mods for a Starfield-like experience in GTA 5
5) Nuke Railgun V2
The Railgun is one of the rarest and most powerful weapons in GTA 5 that can destroy anything in its path. Unfortunately, the alien-tech weapon is very slow and affects only a limited area. However, modder MisterY developed the Nuke Railgun V2 mod to increase the weapon’s strength.
According to the modder, you can find the following features in the GTA 5 mod:
- Increased damage and force
- Increased range
- Added explosion effect
A single shot from the modded Railgun not only destroys the target but also impacts a huge area nearby. It is great for fighting aliens and other enemies in the game.
4) Alien Invasion
Aliens are frequent visitors in the state of San Andreas, and you can find various Easter eggs referring to them. Interestingly, they have never invaded the land or interfered with daily life. However, the Alien Invasion mod for GTA 5 by modder ModMaverickX allows you to fight with aliens in a doomsday scenario.
It spawns hostile alien armies on the streets of Los Santos. You can team up with NPC soldiers to fight off the invaders. The GTA 5 mod also allows you to use any weapons to fight them. Players can test their alien-fighting skills before going to outer space.
3) Hijacked Space Station
The Hijacked Space Station is one of the most ambitious mods for GTA 5 PC. It adds a floating Space Station above the map and allows you to visit it using any plane. According to its developer, NaughtyBoy, players can go inside the Space Station and explore the interiors. It has proper outer space characteristics, forcing one to act accordingly.
The Space Station also has aliens inside. They spawn at random locations, and you must fight them. However, while doing so, you must be aware of the low gravity effect inside the premises. The modder also added some roleplay elements that players can explore while inside.
2) Space Shuttle NASA
As the name implies, this mod adds a NASA-labeled Space Shuttle to the game. The aircraft has proper interior and exterior details, providing an immersive experience. It has a docking station inside Fort Zancudo from where it can lift off for space.
Although it is a single-player mod, one of the demo screenshots showed multiple passengers inside the cockpit. The NASA Space Shuttle is also capable of traveling to the game's outer space. The mod can be used both as an add-on or a standalone feature.
1) Grand Theft Space
The Grand Theft Space is currently the only mod that can provide the closest experience to Starfield. It is an ambitious project developed by GTS Devs. It is technically a map mod that adds new locations outside San Andreas. It is one of the most popular GTA 5 PC mods, allowing you to explore outer space.
According to the developers, the mod offers 11 planets and three moons that are part of a custom storyline. You can travel to different locations, fight aliens, and do many other things with this popular mod.
