How to Add Weapons to FiveM Server

Enhancing your FiveM server with custom weapons is a great way to create a more unique experience for your players. This guide will walk you through the process of adding weapons, from installation to configuration.

To add weapons to a FiveM server:

• Access the Apollo Panel.

• Stop the server.

• Install your weapon pack.

• Open the txData folder.

• Navigate to the folder ending with .base

• Open the resources folder.

• Upload the [resources] folder, which contains the weapon folders.

  
  

  
  

• This folder contains the weapon folders: 870, g17, m4, and x26

  
  

  
  

• Head back to the .base folder and open the server.cfg file.

  
  

  
  

• In a new line, add a comment #gun under this comment. Ensure all the weapons you'd like to install as shown in the example below.

  
  

  
  

• Hit Save Content.

Configuring vMenu

If you want to spawn the weapons in via your menu, you will need to configure vMenu.

• Stop the server.

• In the .base folder. Navigate to the following directory: resources/[appolo]/config/addons.json

• The folder should look like this.

  
  

  
  

• Under "weapons" you will need to add the names of your weapons files. To find these, open the weapon's folder, then open the "stream" folder. Inside should look like this.

  
  

  
  

• Replace the addonweaponname1 with "shotgun" for our example.

• You will need to do this for each and every additional weapon in the pack.

• Hit Save Content.

  
  

  
  

• You have now uploaded custom weapons to your FiveM server. Adding them to the vMenu config lets you access them from the in-game menu.
