Samsung Galaxy Note 7 was an anticipated release from the South Korean tech giant, which turned into a disaster after several complaints of faulty components that led to the explosion of the device. The company has already issued a recall but Note 7's reputation lingers on that a mod for it was created. In the new "GTA V" mod, players can now use the high-end tablet as a sticky bomb.
Mods, or modifications for short, bring interesting tweaks to a game as it will change the visuals or even adjust the level of difficulty, The Verge reported. "GTA 5" is a haven of funny and creative mods and Samsung Galaxy Note 7 sticky bomb is proof of that. The mod was made by modder HitmanNiko and you can get the mod from this link. In the game, the real sticky bomb has been replaced by the phablet. A player can even change the color of the device's case and even change its wallpaper display. HitmanNiko provided the instructions on how to change the display and color in the download link provided above.
There's no Samsung retail shop in "GTA 5" but the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 devices are available for purchase from gun stores within the game. The new mod basically lets players blow up enemies, vehicles, or any place with style - players can just throw as many units of phablet as they want to have a more explosive effect. The new mod is pretty cool but it should be noted that it will only be available for the PC version of the game.
While HitmanNiko may have turned the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 recall into an inspiration for the goofy mod, it should also serve as a reminder for those who have purchased the phablet to get a replacement unit right away. The damage from the explosion caused by the phablet is not as massive as the one found in "GTA 5," but immediate replacement is still necessary. Check out the phablet used as sticky bombs in the video below.
