New RAZE ped add-on brings Blender-built model to GTA V and FiveM

RAZE lands as more than a fresh face for screenshots. The new add-on ped is built for both GTA V single-player and FiveM, and the installation path goes through Meth0d’s AddonPeds, the long-running script that lets you add new ped models without replacing existing files.

That matters because RAZE is set up like a working character asset, not a cosmetic curiosity. The listing tells users to add the model name bs_raze as a not-streamed ped, which is the cleanest fit for people managing custom character libraries through AddonPeds rather than swapping textures or overwriting base game assets. For anyone trying to keep a modded install stable, that setup lowers friction and keeps the model organized for offline use or server deployment.

The technical notes make the release stand out. The model came from a Blender export and was optimized across all LODs, with a blood map, facial rigging, and finger rigging included. Those details are the difference between a ped that only looks right in a menu and one that can hold up in motion, during cutscenes, and in the kind of movement-heavy roleplay scenes FiveM players actually run. Good LOD work also matters at distance, where rough conversions often break down first.

The file itself is still early in its life cycle, but the numbers already show a real release, not a recycled upload. It was first uploaded three days before the crawl, last updated one day before it, and had 145 downloads at 81.3 MB. Credits on the listing go to r3t4rd3d and ghostakahantu, names familiar to regulars who keep an eye on the GTA5-Mods.com ped scene.

The wider FiveM conversation helps explain why a release like this lands with attention. Cfx.re Community threads from October 2023 still show players asking how to get AddonPeds working in FiveM single-player, while other tutorials focus on streaming add-on peds and clothing. RAZE slots into that same demand: a rigged, LOD-backed model that can serve as a custom protagonist, an RP character, or a server-specific identity without the mess of a file replacement.
