The phrase refers to the acquisition of unauthorized software modifications for the PlayStation 4 version of Grand Theft Auto 5 Online. These modifications, often illicitly obtained, alter the game’s code, allowing players to introduce functionalities not intended by the developers, such as invincibility, unlimited resources, or the ability to spawn items. The distribution typically involves downloading files from external sources, with the intention of injecting them into the game.
The perceived advantage offered by this practice is the circumvention of the game’s intended progression and limitations. Historically, the allure stems from the desire to quickly gain in-game wealth, unlock content, or exert influence over other players. However, use presents significant risks, including permanent account bans, exposure to malware, and destabilization of the game environment for other users.
