Looking to make police chases in GTA V more challenging, realistic and unpredictable? Rebalanced Dispatch Enhanced (RDE) completely overhauls the game’s wanted and law enforcement system.
The mod introduces a 10-star wanted level, a much wider variety of police and emergency vehicles, improved AI behaviour, enhanced roadblocks, tactical SWAT responses, K9 units, military support, helicopters, jets, boats and much more.
Key Features
• 10-star wanted system with progressively stronger responses
• Improved police, SWAT, military and emergency AI
• More varied law enforcement vehicles and NPCs
• Enhanced roadblocks with additional units and props
• Improved helicopter, jet, boat and submarine AI
• Tactical SWAT helicopter deployments and rappelling units
• Improved K9 AI
• Paratroopers with improved tactical behaviour
• Better vehicle spawning and pursuit behaviour
• Improved traffic behaviour around roadblocks
• Support for additional law enforcement agencies and specialised units
• Extensive compatibility and configuration options
The latest version 4.1.5 was updated on 18 July 2026, bringing further fixes, updated gameconfig values, improved SWAT spawning, mission and cutscene edits, and additional fixes for recent GTA V updates.
If you use LSPDFR, RDE can also add a much more dynamic law-enforcement environment to your game, making pursuits and police encounters feel considerably more varied.

FEATURES
10 Star Wanted Level
6 Stars just wasn’t enough. Illustrated by a darkening red hue, the wanted level can now go up to 10, allowing for more gradual escalation as the law responds to your path of destruction. You will also have a more difficult time shaking the law compared to RDE 3.1 due to improvements and fixes made to chase AI and spawning.
Overhauled Peds & Vehicles
Tons of new peds & vehicles have been added, and existing ones have had enormous facelifts to improve quality, diversity & polish.
Significant Performance & Stability Improvements Over RDE 3.1
The wanted level script has received a major uplift. Performance issues have been fixed, allowing for the game to perform as though you’re running vanilla. LODs have been improved and expanded upon, and all of this combines to prevent recurring problems that plagued 3.1, such as crashes, pop-in and map streaming issues.
Enhanced Support For Story Missions & Cutscenes
Cutscenes have been modified to include RDE peds where necessary. In addition, scripting has allowed for RDE peds and vehicles to show up in various story and stranger missions.
Updated LSPDFR Support
New compatibility files are included to allow for RDE peds and vehicles to be properly utilised when playing LSPDFR.
Updated WOV Compatibility
A lite version of WOV 10.1 is integrated, adding a ton of extra detail to the game world alongside RDE’s assets. This includes the Gangs of Los Santos overhaul, which, combined with personality, loadout and relationship edits, makes South LS more dangerous than ever, both for the player and for the law.

PEV: Dispatch, Tactics, Ambience Remastered Features
Jayden585 was kind enough to provide optional files that allow RDE to make use of various PEV features, such as more intricate search AI and fine-tuned combat behaviour (You should still only install one mod or the other, not both).
Countless Extra Improvements
Ped wanted levels, laser sights support for heli snipers (Thanks to AlexGuirre), improved loadouts, extra police weapon animations, overhauled roadblocks, additional wanted level music, corrected ped and vehicle soundbanks, new license plate designs, K9 response, paratroopers, restored ground response in certain zones like Mt Chiliad, high-speed response, streamlined & customizable script xmls & bug fixes. There’s even more, but we’ll let you experience it for yourself.
RDE Lite
RDE Lite is included in the download section of this mod page. It’s a more stripped down version of RDE, intended for users who’d like to make their own entirely custom dispatch setups from scratch.

FAQ
Q: I noticed a bug; how should I submit a report for it to be fixed?
A: Please provide a brief explanation of the bug and submit your logs. To do this open SixStarResponse.ini and make the following change: “Debug=1”, then save the ini. Reproduce the bug and open your SixStarResponse.log, gather the contents, use pastebin.com to post the log contents, and then submit the link to us with your description.
Q: Please help! I’m getting crash issues upon loading the game or selecting story mode.
A: There’s numerous things that could cause this. If a new game update is released it will require changes to the gameconfig, among various other potential file changes. If you have an excessive amount of extra vehicles or dlc archives in addition to RDE, that could cause issues with gameconfig as well. Our advice: Remove everything and start with a fresh mods folder (yes remove any other scripts as well) then install only RDE and slowly add the others back one by one; testing with each addition. We’ve also included Pool Manager, which, in particular circumstances, will tell you if a particular value in gameconfig is to blame for your crashing.
Q: I do not own a legal copy of the game, will this mod still work?
A: We only provide support for players with legal copies of the game.
Q: Can I develop my own configs for RDE and release them?
A: Not only are you allowed to do this but we encourage you to do so! However you are not permitted to share our files, models, scripts, etc. Only the config files are to be shared so be sure to have your users install RDE first before adding your mod/edits.
Q: Why is the game failing to load the multiplayer map?
A: This is most likely due to too many dlc archives being installed. RDE 4.0 by itself works fine with the mp map, so use some diligence when it comes to installing extra content on top of it that pushes the game past this limitation.
