Vehicle Hacking | Watch Dogs 2 in FiveM

The ultimate vehicle hacking experience.

A Watch Dogs–style vehicle hacking device for FiveM, use the item, aim at a vehicle, take control, and make use of 27 different hacks.

Every detail has been obsessed over, from the tactile CRT-styled UI and buttery targeting feel to the per-hack screen effects that show up on the victim's side of the screen. 27 unique hacks across Sabotage / Control / Chaos / Intel categories, three distinct "you just got hacked" overlay variants, a fully customizable accent color + panel position picker per player, favorites, server-authoritative cooldowns (per-user and per-vehicle), full framework + inventory + fuel-system auto-detection, and deep config lockdown for owners who want to hardcode the look.

Fully configurable

Every feature, toggle, and value is exposed in the config. Browse the full config files on the docs site to see exactly what you're getting.

Vehicle Hacking System

Compatibility

Fully compatible with:

• ESX

• QBCore

• QBox

Auto-detected and seamlessly integrated.

Supported Inventories

• ox_inventory

Everything routes through a single bridge/layer, adding new inventories or fuel systems is a one-function extension, and I'm always happy to help.

Peak Performance

Engineered for smooth gameplay.

The targeting raycast runs asynchronously with per-frame result caching so you never block the render loop, and the hacking UI lives entirely in NUI, no native UI thread cost while the menu is open.

Outside of active targeting (up to 0.02ms in local testing), the script sits at 0.00ms idle.

Translations & Localization

Full translations/locales system for easy text customization and language support.

Includes:

• German (de)

• English (en)

Adding your own language is straightforward.

Extensive Logging

Built-in logging so you can easily track who's doing what, with support for:

• Discord (nicely formatted embeds)

• Fivemerr

• FiveManage

• Grafana

• Loki

A separate logs.lua file provides a simple configuration surface, set up your preferred logging methods and toggle exactly which actions get recorded.

Highly Configurable

Detailed configuration to adapt the script to your server's specific requirements:

• Targeting range

• Separate limits for cars and helis

• Highlight visuals

• Currency

• Cooldowns (per-user + per-vehicle)

Per-Hack Screen Effects

Anyone inside the hacked vehicle gets a brief full-screen effect so they know they've been compromised, and each hack picks its own vibe.

Three variants ship by default:

Static

RGB chromatic split + scan-line static + tear bars, chaotic analog-TV interference.

No Signal

SMPTE colour-bar "no signal" TV flash with scanlines and occasional strobes, great for intel hacks.

Blackout

CRT power-off stutter collapsing to a thin centre line, electrical/engine-kill hacks.

There's plenty more packed in, with more additions coming in future updates.

I'm sure your players will love this resource.
