Comprehensive Guide to Playing GTA V on PC Without Hackers
Step 1: Start the Story Mode
To kick off your GTA V experience securely and worry-free, start the game in story mode. This mode allows you to avoid the public lobbies you are forced into when you start Online mode directly. This way you can later enter online without exposing yourself to potential hacker interference. If you haven't got the game yet, you can purchase it on the Steam store:

Step 2: Access the Online World with Caution
When you're ready to explore the online world of GTA V, it's crucial to take measures to protect your gaming experience.

Invite-Only Sessions:
Opt for invite-only sessions when entering online mode. These sessions allow only those you invite to join your game. This way, you avoid the presence of hackers and play only with trusted friends. From Story mode, pause the game, navigate to online, find new session and select invite-only sessions.

Private Friends Sessions:
Consider creating private friends sessions for an even more controlled experience. In these sessions, only your Steam friends can join without needing a prior invitation, ensuring a safe and secure environment. Beaware that any hacker that you have added may result in allowing the hacker to join the lobby. From Story mode, pause the game, navigate to online, find new session and select private friends sessions.

Extra: online activities
When engaging in online activities such as missions or events, it's crucial to take additional precautions to avoid encountering hackers.

Return to Private Sessions
After completing public activities, always return to a private session to minimize the risk of encountering hackers. This allows you to enjoy the game worry-free and keep your progress safe.

Additional Tip: Play with Trusted Friends
One of the most effective ways to safeguard your gaming experience is to play exclusively with trusted friends. By limiting access to your session to only those on your friends list, you significantly reduce the chances of encountering hackers.

Keep Your Personal Data Secure
Always remember to keep your personal and login information secure. Avoid sharing confidential information with strangers and enable two-factor authentication on your Steam account for an additional layer of security.

By following these steps and precautions, you can enjoy GTA V on PC without worrying about the presence of hackers. Have fun exploring Los Santos and its surroundings with peace of mind!

@惨い It's true that not all modders are mean. But are you using modding tools that you haave created or read its source code, so you can be sure, that you are not delivering malicious code with that modding software.

Also, some things are transfered to other players, like godmode, when modder with god enters your car.

And then the non-hacking player might get detected by anticheat software and banned, or as happened to my friend who accepted approx 40mil in money drops from moders, get suspended for a month and reset of characters/account.

I go into public to fish for some other normal players to get them into inv or frined session.
