A player's attempt to add challenging, player-seeking hit squads to Grand Theft Auto V has resulted in a darkly humorous spectacle, as numerous other installed mods hinder the assassins' effectiveness and create absurd scenarios. The "Ambient Hit Squads" mod, inspired by a similar feature in Red Dead Redemption 2, is designed to dispatch armed individuals to hunt down the player.
However, in the player's heavily modified game world, the hit squads struggle to fulfill their grim purpose. While ground-based assassins can still pose a threat, those deployed in helicopters appear to be particularly affected. These airborne units become trapped in a perpetual state of disarray, their helicopters bobbing erratically as they attempt to orient themselves towards the player. This navigation failure is compounded by other mods that aggressively propel them forward, creating the visual effect of pilots struggling to maintain control, akin to drunk drivers.
The player recounts shooting at the ground-based assassins with their car's weaponry, indicating a blend of player intervention and the game's inherent chaos further complicating the encounters. The surreal nature of these encounters is amplified by the sheer volume of other mods, which collectively create a "nightmare-frankenstein version of GTA V," where the new threat must contend with existing mayhem.
