There was a time when mods were used solely for open-world games. And yet, Devil May Cry 5 has seen its fair share of mods that change the gameplay in so many ways. Due to the linear style of the game, most mods have to do with changing characters’ skins or enhancing abilities to ridiculous levels.
Still, it doesn’t feel out of place in any way due to the franchise’s status as a crazy gameplay experience. Since the focus in Devil May Cry is always to make things as stylish as possible, it’s worth checking out the coolest mods available for the game.
15 COOP Trainer for Devil May Cry 5
Trainers are perhaps the simplest mod tools that can be released due to their one-note functions. But one has to admit that the COOP Trainer for Devil May Cry 5 ends up being quite excellent even after these limitations.
Not only is Divergence Mode accessible from the get-go, but players also have an access to a wealth of missions in the title that can be played co-op, which is quite a welcome bonus indeed.
14 SSSiyan’s Collaborative Cheat Trainer
Speaking of trainers, one can’t fail to mention a brilliant mod that allows players to access a whole host of options to elevate their experience with this brilliant title.
SSSiyan’s Collaborative Cheat Trainer allows the player access to Turbo Mode, Redirectable Inertia, Devil Breakers Switching, Must Style mode, Bloody Palace Stage Jump, and Boss Rush, Extended Practice Options, and so much more.
13 Nero DMC4 Face and Hair
Players who liked Nero’s look in Devil May Cry 4 and didn’t really dig his character design in the sequel can actually download a mod if they think this change is a dealbreaker.
The Nero DMC4 Face and Hair mod does exactly what it suggests — it changes Nero’s model to look similar to his design in Devil May Cry 4. Now fans have the option of different aesthetics for Nero.
12 Devil Sword Nero
The Red Queen might certainly be an iconic weapon for Nero, but it’s possible that players might be bored of this weapon. They might want something that looks way more stylish instead.
Well, by downloading this mod, Nero ends up wielding a version of the Devil Sword that looks extremely stylish in combat. Coupling this mod with the one mentioned above can easily turn Nero into one of the most enjoyable characters to use in the series.
11 Style Switch Text Effects
The idea of having text effects while switching styles in Devil May Cry 5 might sound like a very small change, but even such a minor alteration can have a massive effect when it comes to the overall coolness factor of this game.
Watching massive text light up the screen as the player switches combat styles is genuinely a treat to witness. This makes the Style Switch Text Effects mod a must-have for any player who wants to increase the coolness factor of Devil May Cry 5.
10 Raiden As Nero
Nero has a good design, but to match all his cool quotes one needs a more badass appearance. The solution can be found in this mod, where Nero can be turned into Metal Gear Rising’s Raiden. The mod even makes sure to use Raiden’s sword the way it’s intended to be used.
It has the effect of making it seem as if Raiden has entered the Devil May Cry world. In many ways, the mod improves upon both series, in that players can have Raiden’s hack and slash mastery combined with Nero’s incredible powers.
9 Young Dante Mod
If all the characters in the Devil May Cry series are ranked according to power, Dante would definitely rank first. But fans do like to see him back in his younger, more inexperienced days, making this mod just the right one for them.
It allows for players to choose from a range of Dante character models, including what he looked like in Devil May Cry and Devil May Cry 2, among others. For some, the older Devil May Cry 5 Dante was too gnarled to be appealing, so check this mod out and enhance your experience.
8 Super Vergil Mod
Don’t think the announcement of Vergil in Devil May Cry 5: Special Edition makes this mod any less in value, as the Super Vergil mod allows for greater variety in movement. It emulates the finesse Vergil displayed when he was one of the hardest boss fights back in Devil May Cry 3.
Vergil’s abilities are turned to the max in this mod, especially when it comes to his speed. The deadly accuracy gets turned up to eleven when equipping his devil trigger, making Vergil truly the stuff of nightmares and a favorite for those who make use of the mod.
7 Return Of The Devil Bringer
For most players, the loss of Nero’s devil bringer was too awesome to let go. After all, the replacements paled in comparison, leading to many preferring Dante or V to play as in Devil May Cry 5. Well, this issue can be solved with this mod, which allows for the devil bringer to be used.
This way, those who craved the Devil May Cry 4 experience will absolutely love the sequel since it will feel like familiar controls for an entirely new game. Nero’s power levels can also be adjusted accordingly here.
6 Unlimited Red Orbs Mod
Devil May Cry 5 continued the franchise’s liking toward delivering insanely difficult missions. The main reason why things seem so difficult, though, is because red orbs are scarce, leading to little room for upgrades to make.
The solution is through this mod, allowing for players to cheat their way into increasing red orbs indefinitely. These aren’t unlimited on paper but are so abundant that you can upgrade every weapon and ability straight off the bat.
5 V Kylo Ren Conversion
Star Wars fans will be lying if they claim V didn’t have a resemblance to Kylo Ren. He’s turned out to be one of the best characters in the last decade, and combining him with the Sith villain makes for a hilarious way to play the game.
Not only does this mod make V out to be Kylo Ren in appearance, but his stick is even turned into the villain’s iconic lightsaber. It opens up a new way to play Devil May Cry 5, one that makes you feel as if it’s happening in a galaxy far, far away.
4 The Return Of Sparda Mod
Playing as the legendary Sparda has always been on gamers’ wish lists and he is hoped to be seen in Devil May Cry 6. For now, players can use this mod to have the closest gameplay to Sparda as they can. It replaces Dante with the model of his father.
The mod feels more appropriate during the sequence where Dante activates the Sin devil trigger that gives him Sparda’s demon form. By the game’s end, the final battle comes across as a father-son affair with the Sparda controlled by the player going up against Vergil.
3 Grand Theft Auto X Devil May Cry
All the wacky behavior seen in Grand Theft Auto has seen memes dedicated solely to its logic. That can now be passed on to Devil May Cry as well with this mod, where players can control Carl “CJ” Johnson as the main player.
It’s an absolutely hilarious mod to choose, as CJ goes through all the demonic entities to battle Vergil in the end. The seamless way with which the mod works is a thing of beauty, as it actually feels as if CJ is the main character of the game in canon.
2 Everybody Is Vergil Mod
By the time players are done with Devil May Cry 5’s many replays, they’ll want to stop taking themselves seriously. What better way to have a laugh than by having everybody turn into the same character? With this mod, the game turns into a Vergil-fest.
The best part is that none of the characters completely turn into Vergil. Instead, their style is what changes into Vergil’s, making it seem as if everyone is on their own cosplay mode. Those who can’t get enough of Dante’s brother need to check this out.
1 Deadpool As Dante
Most will agree that Marvel’s superhero Deadpool is a lot like Dante. They’re both cocky, arrogant, and use their speed and invincibility to win. To this end, the mod here allows for Deadpool to replace Dante within Devil May Cry 5’s playthrough.
What’s more, he uses his weapons much like the Merc with a Mouth does, meaning players can feel as if they’ve got a Marvel crossover with the Devil May Cry universe. Considering Dante’s over-the-top antics, Deadpool is definitely the right character for this mod to choose.
