5 mods for GTA 5 inspired by Half-Life games
Although Half-Life is a popular first-person shooter series, its mods for GTA 5 are very limited. Still, some enthusiastic third-party developers created a few mods that Grand Theft Auto fans can enjoy. To date, Valve has released seven Half-Life titles, including two expansions and a VR game. However, most of the mods from the series in GTA 5 are either from the original title or Half-Life 2.
With that being said, this article lists five mods from the Half-Life series that Grand Theft Auto 5 players can use on PC.
