One Grand Theft Auto V player has embarked on a peculiar challenge: attempting to become a professional driver in a Los Santos where all cars lack friction and are constantly in motion. This chaotic scenario, enabled by a series of game mods, transforms the city into a perilous, physics-defying landscape. The player previously deactivated friction on NPC cars and ensured they remain unstoppably in motion, leading to frequent aerial maneuvers and unexpected explosions.
To undertake this challenge, the player installed 'The Getaway (Driver Missions)' mod, which introduces road quests accessed by dialing a number on their in-game phone. These missions typically involve picking up a passenger and transporting them to a destination while evading law enforcement. However, the core driving mechanics have been fundamentally altered by the no-friction mod, making even the simplest tasks extraordinarily difficult.
The most significant hurdle is the inability to acquire a vehicle, as all cars are perpetually moving and unresponsive to traditional braking. The player found a workaround by using an in-game car gun to summon a vehicle directly into a wall, effectively using the immoveable object to stop the unstoppable force. This allowed them to begin missions, but each journey became a constant gamble.
Every intersection in Los Santos now presents a high-stakes encounter, with driverless vehicles and player-controlled cars alike sliding uncontrollably. Even picking up passengers is a dangerous affair. In one instance, as the player approached to pick up a fare in a snow-covered North Yankton police truck, a taxi cab drifted nearby, striking a pedestrian moments before the passenger could enter the vehicle. The modded environment creates a world where traditional driving is impossible, and every moment on the road is a dance with disaster.
