One player can now seize a Weazel-style live feed and push it to every client through a full-screen broadcast overlay, turning a routine RP night into a server-wide event. Broadcast Hijack, published on April 13, 2026, is a FiveM Lua resource from Konflict Studio that is built for exactly the kind of live, in-character incident that can define a server.

The package is listed at $19.99, with a sale price of $15.99, and it supports Ox, QBCore, QBox, and ESX framework modes. The setup is not just a camera toggle. It uses a camera-and-van flow to start the hijack, then lets the broadcaster switch between handheld live mode and static tripod shots, giving event teams a way to stage a scene that feels like an actual newsroom takeover instead of a separate stream on the side.

That broadcast layer is where the resource stands out. The audience overlay can include chat, emotes, viewer count, polls, adverts, moderation, and SuperYaps, which makes the feed feel like a live in-universe transmission rather than a passive watch window. For organizers running hostage incidents, pursuit scenes, political rallies, raids, or breaking-news arcs, that matters. Everyone in the city can follow the same moment inside the game world, with the same framing and the same pacing, instead of splitting attention between Discord and the actual roleplay.

Broadcast Hijack also goes beyond media work and into crime escalation. The listing includes an optional revenue-ledger heist path after the broadcast session, with workstation tracing, rack hacking, extraction stalls, and a follow-up cash pickup stage. That gives crews and event hosts a second route through the same system, one that can move from newsroom chaos into a full criminal run without leaving the broadcast format behind.

The idea lands because it builds on a long Weazel News tradition inside FiveM. A 2018 Weazel News camera and mic resource already offered a carryable camera, zoom, a movie-style camera view, and a boom mic. A 2021 reporter job added editable headlines, breaking-news broadcasts to all clients, and TV display features. By 2023, an Advanced Weazel News Job was advertising a functional camera, configurable overlay, and full job infrastructure. Broadcast Hijack pushes that lineage further, making the broadcast itself the spectacle and giving servers a sharper way to create the kind of live incident people remember long after the scene ends.
