GTAV Online Modding Guide 2025:

Since September 2024 almost a year ago, Rockstar Games has implemented BattlEye, a kernel-level anti-cheat software, in online to combat cheating.
This change has significantly changed how modders interact with the game online.
And somewhat recently R* has added a function that makes it so modders are unable to play in legit/public lobbies with non-modders due to client battleye essentially 'pinging' other client battleyes to make sure they have it enabled, if not, everyone in the lobby gets removed.
Menus without a BE bypass are unable to enter public lobbies with legits for more than a few minutes (time varies) This essentially makes the menu only being able to play solo, or with other modders, NOT legits.
The current working menus are below, including legend.
--------------------------------
🟢 | Safe: Low ban risk, works well in most scenarios.
🟡 | Past Detections: Past ban risks (recent, may be safe now), use with caution.
🟠 | Risky: Moderate to high ban risk, use with caution.
🔵 | Unknown: Unknown ban risk
🔴 | Detected: High likelihood of detection by BattlEye, avoid in official sessions.
📜 | Legacy Only: Compatible only with Legacy Edition of GTA 5.
✨ | Enhanced Only: Compatible only with Expanded & Enhanced Edition.
🌐 | LE + E&E + BOTH: Works across Legacy and Expanded & Enhanced,
🛡 | BE (Bypass): Has a working BattlEye bypass, but effectiveness may vary.
(🛡🔐) | PRIVATE BE (Bypass): Has a working BattlEye bypass, But is private.
--------------------------------
Cherax 🟢🌐 (🛡🔐)
YimMenuV2 🟢✨ (free)
Lexis 🟡📜🛡
Atlas 🟢🌐🛡
0xcheats 🔴🌐🛡
Riptide 🔴✨🛡 (paid tier bypass, same devs as infamous)
Infamous 🔴🌐🛡 (extremely detected, bad support, paid updates)
ghostcode 🟡✨🛡
Requiem 🟡🌐
Ethereal 🔴🌐🛡
+ There are also various other chinese menus. (You are going to have to find them yourself)
Discontinued Menus: Stand, 2Take1, Rebound, Kiddions, Phantom X
--------------------------------
If you do end up using one of the detected menus, use a HWID spoofer like TraceX listed on our website under pc gaming essentials, as Battleye does Hwid bans (BattlEye does not do an actual HWID ban but rather a ban of all accounts associated with that HWID)
If you have any other recommendations to this please let me know on discord, my discord user id is 1385058670072827996 expect this to be updated over time.
