GTA 5 Online PC: confusion as Rockstar begins banning mods
The GTA 5 PC sub-Reddit is filled with posts about users getting banned, with confusion over whether cosmetic mods are just as bannable as those that give the player an unfair advantage.
One user posted an image saying he was banned from GTA Online for using an FOV mod. The thread is filled with conflicting reports from users who continue to play using mods.
Another thread shows a screengrab of a reply from Rockstar support sent in response to a player asking if FOV mods will result in a ban.
Here’s what he had to say:
Cosmetic mods here could simply refer to visual changes like colour or environment effects. An FOV mod, while cosmetic in nature, is probably achieved by injecting the game’s memory the same way a trainer would. Using a trainer – in any online game – is obviously not allowed. And this is where the water gets even muddier.
A large part of this confusion is due to Rockstar’s reluctance to reveal a list of bannable offences to the community, which is somewhat understandable given the nature of PC mods and the different means they utilise to achieve their results.

Saki "PC is better because it has mods"
>gets banned for using them
At least you can use them for a while then just make a new account. if you mod on xbox you have to buy a new console every time your banned lol.

-CorgiTetCM_Punk_BITW good job rockstargames keep banning them ;D
I think you're confused as to what is going on.
You can get banned for changing your FOV.
Mods are not Hacks. They are banning additions to the game, good or bad they're additions.
The mods do not work in Online GTA, it's only for story mode. This is why everyone is pissed off.
I'm pretty sure we all knew that.
It's just funny because of all the people saying "Haha PC best, console players don't even know what mods are" and now they're getting banned for using their mods.
I can guarantee a lot of Console gamers did not understand the difference.
I never said, nor thought that statement so idk what your point is.

Where does this say they are banning mods? It clearly says they are not going to offer him support if he has mods installed. Obviously, if you modify the game you aren't going to receive support from the game developer considering you changed the product.
