One unluckyGrand Theft Auto Onlineplayer just discovered that installing a fancy vehicle mod might not always be the best idea. Ever since it was first released as an online component to the critically acclaimedGrand Theft Auto 5in 2013,Grand Theft Auto Onlinehas been a virtual playground for fans to enjoy the free-roaming mayhem of Rockstar’s legendary open-world franchise with friends. From fast-paced street races to death-defying stunts, there seems to be no limit to the ways that players can gain fame and fortune on the mean streets of Los Santos.
Part ofGTA Online’s appeal is how players can customize their in-game avatars and vehicles to look their best while on the road. Aspiring criminals can change their ride’s paint scheme, create custom license plates, and even add armor or weapons to help when a heist attempt goes south. However, not allGrand Theft Auto Onlinevehicle customization optionsare as helpful as they are appealing to look at, and some might be more trouble than they’re worth in a given situation.

Such was the case with Reddit user One-Mycologist-6001, who recently shared an unfortunate-yet-hilarious mishap involving their custom Pounder truck inGrand Theft Auto Online. They had just installed a SAM Remote Missile Battery to the hood of their rig, but this massive turret proves to be an issue when they try to drive across a bridgeduring aGTA Onlinemission. The Battery keeps getting stuck on the railings above the bridge, and while One-Mycologist-6001 eventually does manage to squeeze its way to the subway tunnel on the other side, it takes a fair amount of valuable time to do so.
This funny instance of vehicle customization gone wrong is just the latest in a series ofGrand Theft Auto Onlineclips making the rounds on the internet. Fromeagle-eyed players taking down fighter planeswith a single well-placed shot to fleeing suspects getting stuck in their cars mere moments after eluding the cops,GTA Onlineis filled with moments that prove it can be just as fun to watch as it is to play firsthand.
WhileGrand Theft Auto Onlinegives its players a massive amount of freedom to create their own chaos in Los Santos, sometimes it’s better to think twice beforecustomizing aGTA Onlinevehicle. This rings true in the case of the Pounder Custom’s SAM Battery, which might be good for taking down enemies but can be a problem when trying to get through a tight space in a timely manner.
Grand Theft Auto Onlineis available now on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
