๐ About BetterChaseRemade
Tired of GTA V police responding to every situation with the same level of aggression?
BetterChaseRemade transforms GTA V's standard wanted system into a progressive law-enforcement experience where the police response changes according to your actions during a pursuit.
Police begin with a controlled response and gradually escalate their tactics when you continue fleeing, drive recklessly, attack civilians, assault officers, use weapons, or commit more serious crimes.
Instead of every pursuit immediately becoming a full-scale shootout, police must receive authorization before using PIT maneuvers or lethal force.

Tired of GTA V police responding to every situation with the same level of aggression?
BetterChaseRemade transforms GTA V's standard wanted system into a progressive law-enforcement experience where the police response changes according to your actions during a pursuit.
Police begin with a controlled response and gradually escalate their tactics when you continue fleeing, drive recklessly, attack civilians, assault officers, use weapons, or commit more serious crimes.
Instead of every pursuit immediately becoming a full-scale shootout, police must receive authorization before using PIT maneuvers or lethal force.
๐ค Credits & Project Information
BetterChaseRemade is a fan-made continuation, modernization, and expansion of Better Chases+, originally developed by Daimian.
Daimian's Better Chases+ was itself a continuation of the original Better Chases and Arrest Warrants projects created by Eddlm and Guadmaz.
BetterChaseRemade uses the existing Better Chases+ codebase as its foundation. The project updates and expands that foundation with:
- LemonUI integration.
- ScriptHookVDotNet 3 Nightly support.
- Expanded configuration options.
- New pursuit and recognition systems.
- Legacy and Enhanced support through separate builds.
- Continued maintenance and modernization.
This project would not exist without the original work completed by Daimian, Eddlm, and Guadmaz. All credit for the original concepts, systems, designs, and code foundation belongs to their respective creators.
Please support Daimian and check out his additional GTA V projects, including Pull Me Over and Stolen.
๐ Progressive Wanted-Level System
BetterChaseRemade replaces the basic wanted-level progression with a configurable system that responds to the crimes committed during a pursuit.
- Wanted levels increase according to player behavior.
- Minor crimes produce a more controlled police response.
- Serious crimes cause the pursuit to escalate.
- Police tactics change as the chase becomes more dangerous.
- Every supported crime category can be configured independently.
- Full and passive wanted-level control modes are supported.
๐ Dynamic Chase Escalation
Police pursuits progress through multiple configurable phases.
- Each chase phase can use a custom duration.
- Backup can be requested during selected phases.
- Wanted levels can increase automatically.
- PIT maneuvers can become authorized during later phases.
- Lethal force can become authorized when the situation becomes dangerous.
- Every escalation phase can be individually enabled or disabled.
The police response develops naturally according to the duration and severity of the pursuit.
๐จ Crime-Based Police Response
BetterChaseRemade tracks multiple offences committed before and during a pursuit, including:
- Fleeing from police.
- Grand theft auto.
- Driving a stolen vehicle.
- Speeding.
- Reckless driving.
- Carrying a visible weapon.
- Aiming a weapon.
- Assaulting civilians.
- Assaulting police officers.
- Discharging a firearm.
- Murdering civilians.
- Murdering police officers.
Each supported crime can have its own wanted level, maximum wanted level, witness threshold, backup response, PIT authorization, lethal-force authorization, and speed threshold where applicable.
๐ฎ Proportional Police Aggression
Police no longer use maximum aggression during every pursuit.
- Officers respond according to the seriousness of your crimes.
- Deadly force remains restricted until authorized.
- PIT maneuvers remain restricted until authorized.
- Police can use stun guns before lethal force is approved.
- More serious actions produce a stronger police response.
- Police aggression can be extensively configured.
๐ PIT Authorization System
Police cannot immediately ram your vehicle during every chase.
- PIT authorization is controlled by pursuit severity.
- Selected crimes can authorize a PIT maneuver immediately.
- Later chase phases can authorize PIT maneuvers.
- Higher wanted levels can automatically authorize PIT tactics.
- A custom HUD indicator displays when PIT authorization is active.
๐ซ Lethal-Force Authorization
Officers must receive authorization before using deadly weapons.
- Police initially attempt to use non-lethal force.
- Aiming a weapon can authorize lethal force.
- Discharging a firearm can authorize lethal force.
- Murder can authorize lethal force.
- Assaulting or killing police officers produces a stronger response.
- A custom HUD indicator displays when lethal force is authorized.
Lethal-force authorization can be disabled for players who prefer GTA V's original police behavior.
๐ก Configurable Police Dispatch
The number of responding units can be configured for every wanted level.
- Minimum ground units for each wanted level.
- Maximum ground units for each wanted level.
- Minimum air units for each wanted level.
- Automatic dispatch-service management.
- Additional backup during chase escalation.
- Separate dispatch settings for one through five stars.
This creates a more controlled and proportional police presence during pursuits.
๐ง Wrecked Police Vehicles Stop Chasing
Severely damaged police vehicles can be removed from active pursuit duty.
- Police vehicles stop chasing when heavily damaged.
- Engine condition is evaluated.
- Vehicle body condition is evaluated.
- Blown tires are detected.
- Damaged units are prevented from continuing unrealistic pursuits.
๐ฆ Police Traffic Management
- Police officers can manage nearby traffic during active pursuits.
- Traffic behavior around active police units is improved.
- Police vehicles receive better control during a chase.
- Police commandeering of civilian vehicles can be disabled.
- Add-on police pedestrian types are supported through type-based detection.
๐ Surrender & Arrest System
BetterChaseRemade gives the player an additional opportunity to surrender.
- Surrender using a configurable keyboard key.

- Police can arrest the player instead of immediately killing them.
- Surrender availability depends on the player's current condition.
- Unsafe states such as swimming, falling, or active combat are handled.
- The default keyboard surrender key is E.
๐ Persistent Arrest Warrants
Escaping the police does not always mean the incident is over.
- Warrants can be issued after an escaped pursuit.
- Separate warrants can be associated with the player and vehicles.
- Police continue searching after the wanted level disappears.
- Warrants retain the previous wanted level.
- Warrants store the player's last known location.
- Warrants persist between gameplay sessions.
- Warrant durations can be configured separately by wanted level.
๐ Player & Vehicle Identification
Police must identify the player or their vehicle before continuing a previous pursuit.
- Recognition increases while officers maintain visual contact.
- Player and vehicle recognition are tracked independently.
- Police use line-of-sight checks.
- Distance affects recognition speed.
- Changing vehicles can help avoid an active vehicle warrant.
- Changing appearance can help prevent player recognition.
- A previous pursuit resumes when recognition reaches the required level.
๐๏ธ Witness & Recognition System
- Nearby civilians and police officers can observe the player.
- Civilian and police witnesses are tracked separately.
- Witnesses must face or see the player.
- World geometry can block line of sight.
- Recognition decreases after visual contact is lost.
- Player and vehicle recognition are calculated independently.
- Recognition distance is limited for balanced gameplay.
๐ Spotted Meter & Indicators
The warrant system includes visual information showing how close police are to recognizing you.
- Configurable spotted meter.
- World-space indicators above searching officers.
- Indicator colors change according to recognition level.
- Recognition progresses from low awareness to full identification.

@FlareXll OK
hey can you add compatibility for PEV Sale, like the compatibility done for RDE๏ผ
@CTadwafg RDE compability are the army spawning?
@CyJJ yes
@CTadwafg i still dont know why lemon ui dosent work with scrpthookvdotnet nightly 188?
@FlareXll Now RDE can be dispatched normally, but I still can't see the jurisdiction of SAHP. Now there is a new problem: all police officers have become extremely tough. It takes three bullets to kill them with a carbine, or you can shoot them in the head. In addition, when police officers are chasing in a police car, the red and blue lights of the police car will remain static, and only after the police officers get off the car will the lights resume normal flashing.
@CTadwafg yes these are ungoing fix till stable
@pubglite18 i will look into this
@FlareXll only the minigun can easily kill them.except for shooting at the head
@CyJJ you can try update the lemon?my game no problem
@CTadwafg whats goign on with LemonUI also join my discord if you have discord for better communication also
SAHP jurisdiction when the player is on a recognized freeway/highway. It will not force SAHP vehicles in RDE mode, because doing that would override RDE again. If SAHP vehicles still do not appear while driving on highways, that selection is occurring inside RDEโs dispatch configuration rather than Better Chases.
@FlareXll The dispatched police car belongs to the SAHP of RDE, but the notification is still from LSSD.
@CTadwafg already newest one. i think its scripthookvdotnet nightly cause it broke scripting api
@CyJJ
But I am also using the 188 version
i am using LemonUI on 188 and its working no issues
my suggestion,language issues should be fixed as soon as possible. The new version does not generate the ini file, so multilingual support is broken. In addition, the previous bug that caused incomplete display of Chinese text is still present.
@pubglite18 no version that was updated Generate ini file there is not ini file when the game load up use F7 and if u can change the key use the menu also i am still woking on the languages if you can join my discord i can give u the Languages file for u to text before i release
@FlareXll I know there is ungoing updates but the seach area seems to be broken this need to fix i love that features but it seems broken hope u fix in nex update
@FlareXll OK im in @zzzgeiwotinghaoliaowocnm thatโs me
