5 best zombie apocalypse mods for GTA 5

_____________________________

GTA 5 is popular for allowing players to do whatever they want to do in the game.

Want to cause havoc in the city? Go ahead. Feel like blowing that virtual goon into a million pieces? Fire away. Feeling bored? Get ready for a zombie apocalypse.

Although the game does not feature any exclusive zombie invasion missions, players can always rely on the GTA 5 modding community to surprise them with some over-the-top mods that can turn Los Santos into a land of horror.

Here are some of the best zombie apocalypse mods that make for the ultimate GTA 5 experience.

While the virtual world features a number of breathtaking wonders for the player to enjoy, one can't simply take a stroll around the city when a bunch of blood-thirsty zombies are on the lookout for fragile human flesh.

Zombie Car Park hosts a number of powerful, armoured vehicles that players can use to ensure their safety during the much-anticipated and equally feared zombie invasion in GTA 5.

#4 Military Base (Zombie Base)

The Military Base, as the telltale name of the mod suggests, allows players to build their base of operations during the Zombie Apocalypse in GTA 5.

This modded military base hosts a number of well-guarded places that the player can seek refuge in. It also features a devastating RM-10 Bombushka airplane and a car workshop that allows players to equip their vehicles with all the tools they will be needing for the invasion.

Definitely one of the most useful zombie apocalypse mods for GTA 5.

#3 Simple Zombies

Contrary to what the name of the mod may suggest, this is perhaps the most diverse zombie apocalypse mod for GTA 5. It comes equipped with a number of useful features, including a crafting system, a good old inventory, and a number of resources, making for a complete zombie play pack for GTA 5.

#2 The Dead Among Us Project

The Dead Among Us Project is an incredible mode for GTA 5 that fills the bustling streets of Los Santos with living, breathing horror and turns the entire place into an eerie, long-forgotten land, haunted by ancient, blood-curdling creatures. With this mod on, GTA 5 couldn't get any more exciting.

#1 Mad Max Vehicles

Mad Max vehicles has just about everything GTA 5 players could possibly want from a zombie apocalypse mod. From destructive monster trucks, to unexpected infernos to complete chaos and, well, zombies. This mode features an assortment of life-threatening situations and makes for the ultimate Grand Theft Auto experience.

Rockstar Games currently run one of the most popular online games in the UK, and they are also developing what will replace it on PS5 and Xbox Series X.

But while PS4 and Xbox One gamers will miss out on the GTA 6 release date, analysts believe there could be other Grand Theft Auto projects on the horizon.

The next mainline Grand Theft Auto title is not expected to arrive until 2022 at the earliest, meaning that current-gen owners are going to get skipped.

And this will also mean that PS4 and Xbox One gamers never received an exclusive GTA game.

GTA 5 has proven a huge success, and it's hard to believe that it started life on the Xbox 360 and PS3.

Add to that the GTA 5 and GTA Online are being enhanced for the PS5 and Xbox Series X, and it looks like a game that will never die.

But even though it has had an extraordinary life cycle, which looks set to continue for at least another 12 months, there is also bad news.

Not only will Rockstar Games launch GTA 5 on PS5 and Xbox Series X this year, but it will also start making content exclusively for those platforms and PC.

This was confirmed last year when the Grand Theft Auto team confirmed in a statement: “And for the massive and vibrant community of Grand Theft Auto Online players worldwide, the journey through the ever-evolving, shared world of GTA Online will continue on to the new generation with more new updates including additional GTA Online content exclusive to the new consoles and PC.”

But with GTA 6 and GTA 5 growing further apart from the PS4 and Xbox One, that doesn’t mean there could be a few last-minute surprises.

Industry analysts believe that Rockstar Games and parent company Take-Two Interactive could start focusing on the famous studios’ back catalogue.

There’s a cracking list of older Grand Theft Auto games that could be remastered by Rockstar Games and there is no reason why something like this would have to be limited to just next-gen customers.

With so many PS4 and Xbox One console owners waiting to upgrade, it would make for the perfect time to release a remastered GTA 3 or GTA Vice City.

There’s no doubt that these games could be made to look seriously upgraded even on older consoles, with a user base of millions ready to indulge in a little nostalgia.

Motley Fool raised the idea of older GTA content being released, reporting this week: “Interest in remastered versions of older GTA titles could be huge.

"Activision Blizzard did a remastered version of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Campaign last year that reportedly sold 3.4 million copies, but I believe releases of older GTA titles could sell far more copies.

“Rumors are circulating that Take-Two may already be working on a remaster of GTA 3 (2001) and GTA: Vice City (2002).

"A community of fans created their own modded version of GTA 3, which Take-Two recently shut down, fueling speculation that the company has something up its sleeve. Obviously, the fact that fans are going to this much trouble shows that there is high interest in Rockstar Games' catalogue of GTA content.

“With GTA V's player base reaching such a high level, there will be tremendous demand when GTA VI releases. Until then, Take-Two has a great opportunity to generate extra sales by introducing new players to characters and storylines they haven't experienced before.

“The ability of Take-Two to potentially tap into its deep catalogue of content speaks to the long-term value of this top video game company.”

Rockstar Games have only commented on the future of GTA 5 and GTA Online of late, leaving many fans wondering when we will see a GTA 6 release date.

But with such a strong lineup of older titles to pull from, PS4 and Xbox One might still have a few Grand Theft Auto surprises to enjoy.
