FiveM weapon skin tool: build skins and liveries
In the 5MC Forge weapon kit you choose a base weapon from GTA V, add attachments, paint the textures and create as many liveries as you like. The result is a weapon pack as a FiveM resource for Legacy and Enhanced that coexists with other skin packs for the same weapon.
- Attachments per mount point
- Liveries inside the pack
- Showcase video in one click
- With Claude via MCP

How to create weapon skins with Forge
Choose a base weapon
Search a weapon from GTA, such as the AK or the SMG.
Add attachments
Forge shows the matching parts per mount point: suppressor, sight, magazine and more.
Skins and liveries
Paint textures or drop in a PNG. “+ Livery” adds more finishes, which you can rename and delete.
Build and test
The pack becomes a resource with stream and stream_enhanced. On the test server you pick a livery with /waffe.
Base coat or livery: two ways to skin
A weapon pack belongs to one base weapon and contains the base, attachments and textures. The base coat is the texture the pack brings along. If you want, it replaces the normal GTA weapon, so every weapon of that type on the server looks like this. If you leave that off, the weapon stays as in the game and only the liveries look different. That way you can give a server a uniform look or offer skins as a choice.
You create liveries with “+ Livery” as a copy of the active one, rename or delete them; deleted ones go to the pack's bin. Several skin packs for the same weapon coexist on one server. The full guide is in Weapon skins with Forge.
Show what you built
- Inventory image from the model, from the current angle.
- “Record showcase video” shows every livery with studio lighting and a camera move, ready for Discord or your store.
- The quick test builds a weapon with attachments without a pack of its own, to see a combination in game fast.
Our Halloween pack was made this way: 13 weapon skins for the SMG and AK, painted in the kit and built as one resource for Legacy and Enhanced.
Weapon packs with Claude
In every plan your own Claude creates packs via MCP, sets attachments and textures, adds liveries and builds. That pays off especially with many variants. Setup is described on Build an MLO with AI; the weapon tools work the same way.
Frequently asked questions
Does the skin replace the normal GTA weapon?
Only if you want it to. The base coat can replace the normal weapon. Otherwise it stays as in the game and your liveries are available in addition.
Do several skin packs coexist?
Yes. Several skin packs for the same weapon run side by side on one server.
How do I test the liveries in game?
“To test server” builds the pack and puts it on your local FXServer. In game you pick a livery with /waffe followed by the weapon number and the livery.
Which plan do I need?
Forge Creator at €19.99 a month includes the weapon kit. If Claude should help build, you need Forge Studio at €49.99 a month. Both come with a free 3-day trial.
