Los Santos was built for chaos, which makes it a fitting playground for a web-slinger. The Grand Theft Auto 5 community has produced a deep catalog of Spider-Man content, ranging from simple character skins to full script mods that add swinging, wall-crawling, and web attacks. The five below stand out by download count and by how much they actually change how you play.
Quick answer: Install Spider-Man V from GTA5-Mods for the most complete experience. It is a script mod with movement, animations, and web powers, and it is the most downloaded of the group at over 528,000 downloads.
Spider-Man mods for GTA 5 compared
There are two kinds of mods here. Script mods change gameplay by adding powers and animations, while ped and retexture packs swap in the character model and suits. The table lists each mod, its type, download count, and what it mainly adds.
| Mod | Type | Downloads | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Spider-Man V | Script | 528,000+ | Swinging, wall-sticking, web attacks, suit options |
| Spider-Man Pack | Suit pack | 242,000+ | Multiple suits with effects and abilities |
| Spider-Man (Civil War/Homecoming) | Ped | 200,000+ | Fully rigged model, unmasked texture |
| Venom From The Movie | Ped | 74,000+ | Symbiote villain model and powers |
| Spider-Man (2002) | Ped | 64,000+ | Classic Tobey Maguire model and abilities |
Spider-Man V: the full script mod
This is the mod that turns you into Spider-Man rather than just dressing you up as him. On top of the character model, Spider-Man V brings detailed movement and animation work. You can stick to a building and lie flat against it vertically, and the swinging, landing, and idle poses all have their own custom animations, including an upside-down web-hanging idle.
It also carries the combat and traversal kit you would expect, including web-related attacks, web shooters, and multiple suit options. With over 528,000 downloads, it is the most popular Spider-Man mod for the game.
Spider-Man Pack: many suits in one download
If you want variety, the Spider-Man Pack adds a large lineup of suits in a single install. The set includes Tom Holland’s original Homecoming suit, the Iron Spider suit, and a suit taken from the official video game, among others.
Each suit comes with its own special effects and abilities rather than being a plain reskin. The Iron Spider, for example, features the mechanical spider legs and glowing eyes. The pack sits at over 242,000 downloads.
Spider-Man (Civil War/Homecoming): the detailed ped
For a single, high-detail model, the Civil War/Homecoming ped is the pick. The model is fully rigged all the way down to every finger, and it includes an alternative texture with the mask removed to show Tom Holland’s face.
The suits are drawn from Captain America: Civil War and Spider-Man: Homecoming. It has passed 200,000 downloads.
Venom From The Movie: the villain option
Not everyone wants to play the hero. Venom From The Movie adds the symbiote as seen in the original 2000s films, built as a large, heavy black model with matching symbiote powers.
Pair it with a Spider-Man mod and you can stage a Venom-versus-Spidey fight across Los Santos. It has over 74,000 downloads.
Spider-Man (2002): the classic Tobey Maguire look
For fans of the original films, the Spider-Man (2002) ped recreates the version Tobey Maguire played in the early 2000s. It adds the texture and model along with abilities such as superhuman strength, jumping, and several web-based attacks.
It is the lightest option on this list in terms of scope, and it has over 64,000 downloads.
How to choose between them
Match the mod to what you actually want to do. If the goal is to swing, wall-crawl, and fight with web powers, start with the Spider-Man V script. If you mainly care about how the character looks, a ped or the multi-suit pack does the job with less setup. Venom is there when you want an antagonist to fight.
Note: Script mods and ped mods rely on separate frameworks, so ped-based suits often need an add-on ped selector to load correctly. Read each mod’s own install notes before you drop files into the game, and keep your game version in mind since script mods are tied to specific builds.
