In GTA 5, the Wanted Level is used to measure how much you are wanted by the police. While most players prefer completing the game peacefully and trying to avoid the cops, others love chaos.

If you’re in the second group, then read on to learn how to get 5 stars in GTA 5.

How to Get 5 Stars In GTA 5?

In GTA 5, you can change your Wanted Level using mods or trainers. Besides, you’ll get a 4-star Wanted Level after visiting some specific places immediately. Finally, you can shoot civilians, destroy cars, and kill police officers to get a full 5-star Wanted Level.

The Wanted Level won’t display on the top right of your screen unless you commit a crime or are in trouble with law enforcement.

In some particular missions, the Wanted Level, including 5 stars, is fixed and cannot be altered. However, outside of those missions, you are free to adjust your Wanted Level using various methods.

In GTA 5, there are 3 ways to get a 5-star Wanted Level:

1. Use Mod/Trainer

Mods and trainers allow you to customize and even completely interfere with the vanilla version, including changing the Wanted Level immediately.

In that case, the Menyoo mod turns out to be one of the best mods to use in GTA 5.

After installing the mod, press “F8” to enable the mod menu and select “Player Option” ->”Wanted Level” and change the value to 5.

Although using the mod is fast and easy, it may ruin your experience, so consider this method carefully in advance.

2. Visit Specific Locations

There are many restricted locations or places in GTA 5 that cause a 4-star Wanted Level as soon as you set foot in. They are:

• Fort Zancudo
• Bolingbroke Penitentiary
• Humane Labs and Research (Laboratory)
• Los Santos Naval Port (The secure military area)

You’ll grant 4 stars after entering these places, even when you’re not doing anything. To get another star, try to kill some officers or destroy some vehicles or equipment.

3. Mess Up The City

Messing up the city is the slowest yet traditional way to grant 5 stars in GTA 5. First, find an area that has many civilians, then use weapons and kill them to get a 2-star Wanted Level.

By attempting to crouch and eliminate the police officers and destroy their vehicles, your Wanted Level will increase to 3 subsequently.

Using explosive weapons and a good spot to hide is required if you want to survive in 4-5 stars, as the NOOSE teams will hunt you in both helicopters and SUVs.
