Winter's Howl weapon for GTA 5

Weapon replacement mod for GTA 5: Winter's Howl replaces the Stun Gun in the game. This mod brings the distinctive winter-themed look from Black Ops Zombies into Los Santos, while keeping the stun-gun usage pattern.

• Type: weapon swap (Stun Gun replacement)
• Model: Winter's Howl from Black Ops Zombies
• Effects: currently does not fire ice (unlike in Call of Duty)
• Scope: GTA 5 compatible via file/model replacement
• Files replaced: w_pi_stungun_hi.ydr and w_pi_stungun.ytd

Visually, Winter's Howl adds a “zombie map” vibe and makes your loadout feel more thematic for roleplay servers and atmosphere-focused sessions. If you primarily want the look and feel of the weapon, this release delivers it without requiring complex setup beyond the standard model replacement workflow.

Installation is done by replacing the specified assets using OpenIV and rebuilding afterward. A backup of the original model is included so you can keep the original Stun Gun textures working with the modified texture file, which makes testing easier and lets you revert to the default appearance anytime. The author also notes future plans for a possible ice-firing script, but the current state focuses on the visual replacement in GTA 5.
