I might finally have gone too far with a GTA 5 mod that imports most of Doom 2
A PC Gamer article details a modder’s ongoing daily quest to transform Grand Theft Auto 5, this time through an ambitious mod that imports nearly the entirety of Doom 2 into the game. The mod, titled “Doom 2 in GTA 5 Hell On Earth” (D2IGTA5HOE), fundamentally changes GTA 5’s gameplay experience by incorporating the DOOM2.wad file into the game engine.
The transformation is comprehensive: GTA 5 shifts to a first-person perspective, fills the game world with demonic enemies from Doom 2, and replaces the arsenal with Doom’s iconic weapons including a minigun and the legendary BFG (Big Fucking Gun). The modder can toggle this Doom mode by pressing F9, effectively turning Rockstar’s open-world crime simulator into a classic demon-slaying first-person shooter.
This mod is part of the modder’s larger daily experiment to either achieve the impossible—creating a PC version of GTA 6 from GTA 5 mods—or intentionally break Rockstar’s game entirely. The project showcases the creative possibilities of game modding and the dedication of PC gaming enthusiasts to push the boundaries of existing titles.
