This insane GTA V ramp truck mod destroys all cars and lands on reddit’s front page

The Simple Trainer GTA V mod by sjaak327 has given birth to a new ruler of the game, and its name is the Omega Ramp. All bow before Omega Ramp and its minions. Such are the demonic spawn of nefarious YouTuber BlackSmoke Billy: melded vehicles of mass destruction. It’s so insane it made reddit’s front page.

Yes, good ol’ Billy uses a trailer attached to the front of a MTL Packer cab to form a ramp that can shoot cars into the air like they’re being spit out of skeet trap. The commute from the boonies turned into a highway to the danger zone for a bunch of unfortunate NPCs.

The entire multiwheeled cast of Maximum Overdrive wishes it had half the destructive power of the first ramp, made of a simple trailer. And Optimus Prime can eat his servos out. But it gets worse — and that means it gets funnier. So much funnier.

BlackSmoke Billy didn’t stop there, he went bigger, and bigger still. This is GTA V, after all. His ramp to automobile heaven grew by degrees. Finally, he ends with something that looks like the side of a canal on the front of his truck. Its swath of destruction covers the entirety of a six-lane highway.

The final massive wall-ramp’s menace is reminiscent of Duel, Spielberg’s first movie. Joy Ride, with its soft newness can’t imagine the sinister looming horror that is the Omega Ramp truck. Good thing this wasn’t online mode. Watch the video, imagine this bearing down on you as you play online, and feel the inevitability of death. And the final, somehow logical touch in an illogical world; Trevor is the driver. He’d make a perfect Rusty Nail.

Stand in awe of the Omega Ramp, and pay it homage. Cue the comment puns; Billy deserves it. His rampage is the kind of thing that makes people want to play GTA V again, or at least makes people hurt themselves laughing. He reached out on YouTube to thank everyone for the compliments, saying he’ll post another crazy video soon. One viewer request we’d like to second: let’s pit this Omega Ramp truck against a train. That would really ramp it up.

The end of a month is always exciting. We have an entire month of upcoming PS5 games to look forward to, plus the excitement to hear what new games will be coming to PlayStation Plus. April finished up strong with Clair Obscure: Expedition 33 arriving just this past week, which we suspect many of you will still be playing. However, that game isn't for everyone, and some of us out there can't afford to get this hot new game at full price. Whatever the case may be, this is the time when your PS Plus subscription really shows its worth. Just like I do every week, I have hand-picked some great games on the service you are sure to enjoy over the weekend.

I spent 9 hours with Dune: Awakening and lived to tell the tale
A character holds a sword in Dune: Awakening.

The Sands of Arrakis are not for the faint of heart. 

That message is repeatedly told in the Dune novels and films. Everywhere you turn, something is trying to kill you or use you as a pawn to further some agenda. During a recent beta for Dune: Awakening, where I was able to play Funcom's upcoming MMO for nine hours, that message was solidified. I went up against in-depth survival mechanics as I explored the deserts of Arrakis, forcing me out of my comfort zone if I didn’t want to wind up worm food. That tense gameplay makes Dune: Awakening an MMO to watch for when the summer sun rolls around come June 10.
